Description

@mgr34

I cannot get my device to pair.

Some details
os: linux
kernal: 7.0.7-arch2-1
usbmuxd: 1.1.1
iOS: 26.2
Model: Iphone 16

What happens:

  1. sudo usbmuxd -f -v
  2. plug in my phone, hit trust, enter passcode
  3. idevice pair it shows up and I hit Pairing Type RPPairing, then generate. It stats stuck on Loading indefinitely.

Am I doing something wrong? Ultimately, I just want to take a backup and export my messages (imessage-exporter) before I delete them off the phone. I can get the pair to work on my Macbook air, but don't have enough space to backup on there.

I'll attach some logs here in other messages.
