Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IOS.

I have installed, libimobiledevice and ifuse. When I plug in the iPhone, it prompts me to trust the computer, which I select and enter my pin to confirm.

After running sudo systemctl status usbmuxd.service I get the following result.

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

Why do you want to connect it? For data transfer I use Documents by readdle, tranfer thru local network, fast, no hassle with closed and open platforms.

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

I want to learn about the native capabilities mainly. But it would be nice to be able to have management access to the device for data transfer.

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

Just install nautilus and gvfs-afc and mount the iPhone…

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

I am on plasma and would not particularly like to install a dedicated file manager to handle it.

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

Sometimes even on Linux, GUI solutions simply work better than the terminal. This is one of those cases I think.

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

The KDE option is not working. How does KDE normally handle this?

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

I don't think KDE can handle this at all, can it? Gnome devs are the ones imitating Apple, so it makes sense to me that it works perfectly with Gnome apps.

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

KDE prompts me to mount it as a camera but it fails each time.

Re: Cannot connect iPhone to Arch

Yes, I think this only works with gvfs which dolphin does not support AFAIK.
