I need to get a file (sms.db) from an iPhone connected to a Mac. I cannot find any way to access the iPhone filesystem searching in Apple Developers Connection…
I cannot SSH to the iPhone, the application I want to develop is meant to be used on non-jailbroken iPhones… And I would like to avoid some MacFuse modules I found googling, too… I would like to access the filesystem thru some sort of API, the simpler the better.
Thanks!
There is no Apple-documented public API for accessing the entire filesystem on a stock OS iOS device. Even private OS/API calls won’t work due to the app sandbox restrictions.
Xcode, iTunes, and probably other apps that take over the iTunes USB driver, are using a non-Apple-documented private API that only works over the USB connection.
