Does anyone know how programs like iPhoneExplorer manage to list/add/remove files on an iDevice?
I would like to do something similar (but more basic) in a Cocoa Touch application.
It’s technically not an Apple-approved™ method, so don’t plan on putting this in the App Store. But it is possible. First, import the MobileDevice framework from
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks. Then use the reverse-engineered header for the MobileDevice framework:http://code.google.com/p/ziphone/source/browse/trunk/ZiPhone/MobileDevice.h
It includes all the methods necessary to communicate with an attached iOS device.
There’s also a C++ wrapper for it that’s a bit easier to use, especially for detecting the device in the first place. It also includes methods specifically for jailbreaking, but they’re not required.
