In order to be able to automatically mount your iOS device (such as an iPhone) when connecting it, you need to install `libimobiledevice` and to activate the `usbmuxd` service.
Add the following to your `configuration.nix`:
services.usbmuxd.enable = true;
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
libimobiledevice
ifuse # optional, to mount using 'ifuse'
];
You can then mount your device using ifuse:
$ mkdir /tmp/iphone
$ ifuse /tmp/iphoneIf you get an error about `ERROR: No device found!`, check the status of `usbmuxd`:
$ sudo systemctl status usbmuxd.serviceIf you see an error
ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd on device [...], lockdown error -8you may need to restart the usbmuxd service as reported [here https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/152592]:
