[Documentation] Instructions on how to connect over Wi-Fi #84

Closed jeffsawatzky closed 3 years ago

jeffsawatzky commented 3 years ago

Hello,

would you be able to provide instructions on how to connect over wifi? I can't seem to figure it out.

jeffsawatzky commented 3 years ago

I've enabled "Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi" following these instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchlada1d602/mac

I've enabled "Connect via network" following these instructions: https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/9.0/index.html?localePath=en.lproj#/devbc48d1bad

I still can't see the iPhone in the list even though it is visible through those other ways. What am I missing?

Assuming you can access your device in the finder, it should detect your device in LocationSimulator as well.

Maybe try to disable and enable "Detect network devices" in the LocationSimulator settings.

Sadly I have no real control over this part of the code, since it is handled by libimobiledevice. In my experience the Wi-Fi connection is always a little bit unstable, although that may very depending on your home network setup.

Edit: I updated the Readme with instructions, but I think you already performed all necessary steps. Edit: See also: #77

This worked for me, if it helps. (Thanks for a very useful project!)
