I know that this plugin was not supposed to work with iDevices running iOS 8.3 and above, but in my case it is! Scenario 1: WORKING

Scenario 2: NOT WORKING The same thing but with the new iPad Mini 4 Now, Calibre does NOT recognizes the iDevice

So, I was wondering: is it possible to put the iPad Mini 4 USB fingerprint in the plugin in order to make a test to see if it's going to work? I'm not much a programmer, but if this task isn't much complicated I can try ;)

Here is the output of the Calibre Debug device detection: (please let me know if you need the IOREG Output section)

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I've found it!

So, I've edit the init.py file inside the iOS plugin to add the following line _BCD.add(0x502) # iPad Mini 4 GSM ???

And voilà ! My new iPad Mini 4 is recognized by Calibre and Marvin is working nice! I can send books directly to it :)
