add iphone to vm and debug over wifi

gistfile1.txt

macos ventura 13.4 on hackintosh vm
ios 16.4 on iphone x


on vm host

make udev rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules:
# filename is chosen to overwrite /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules
# see RULES FILES section in udev(7)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ENV{PRODUCT}=="5ac/12[9a][0-9a-f]/*|5ac/8600/*", MODE="0666", TAG+="systemd"

this disables usbmuxd, otherwise it will run and communicate with the phone
once usbmuxd has captured the usb interface of the phone, when it is forwarded to the vm,
it won't appear in the xcode device list

not sure which one copied which one


connect the iphone to the usb port


attach device to vm:
device_add usb-host,id=iphone,vendorid=0x05ac,productid=0x12a8
don't use guest-reset=false because it will interfere with xcode resetting the iphone, so you need to unplug and replug after trusting


unlock iphone, Trust This Computer? Trust, enter device passcode when prompted
go into Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Developer mode, enable, then restart when prompted
after the phone has restarted, unlock the phone, Turn On developer mode when prompted


enable wireless debugging
$ xcrun xcdevice list
find the device's UDID, then
$ xcrun xcdevice enable <UDID>

or select Enable network connection on xcode devices window
do not disable, otherwise you will have to connect the iphone via usb again


open xcode
window -> devices and simulators (or cmd+shift+2)
device will appear, this is hot-plug ready
it will say "iPhone is busy: Making iPhone ready for development"
it is fetching debug symbols for your iphone
you can check the status with `xcrun xcdevice list`
wait until the message disappears, then close xcode


click on the bottom left +
choose the iPhone
click Next
use existing email or use a new one if desired
Device setup successful -> click Done


right click on the device on the left pane
click on Connect via IP Address...
input the tailscale hostname of the iphone
click Connect
