I wish to make an SMS analysis tool that downloads the SMS.db file from an iPhone device, connected via USB. I am coding in C++ and would like to know how applications such as DiskAid and iPhone Explorer access the entire filesystem via USB?
Thanks in advance!
iPhone Explorer requires iTunes; probably it works by employing the iTunes COM API (I know there is one). Anyway, it does not show the full filesystem; just the parts that iTunes exposes. And AFAIK, the SMB.db is not exposed.
Or maybe it taps into some lower-level API that iTunes itself consumes.
Not sure about DiskAid.
