I am trying to get Iphone's UDID on connect on a c# application. I've found that I could do that using IMobileDevice-net nuget package, But I could not find further documentation on how to use its classes.
Does anyone know where I can find documentation or have sample code?
The link to documentation of IMobileDevice-net seems broken. But you can find it at Documentation of IMobileDevice-net
Based on sample code provided for IMobileDevice-net one can find UDID of device if Name of the device is known. The code snippet for the same is:
ReadOnlyCollection<string> udids;
int count = 0;
var idevice = LibiMobileDevice.Instance.iDevice;
var lockdown = LibiMobileDevice.Instance.Lockdown;
// Get all devices connected
var ret = idevice.idevice_get_device_list(out udids, ref count);
if (ret == iDeviceError.NoDevice)
{
// Not actually an error in our case
return;
}
ret.ThrowOnError();
// Variable to store UDID of
string foundUDID = "";
var nameOfDevice = "NameOfYourDevice";
// Get the device name
foreach (var udid in udids)
{
iDeviceHandle deviceHandle;
idevice.idevice_new(out deviceHandle, udid).ThrowOnError();
LockdownClientHandle lockdownHandle;
lockdown.lockdownd_client_new_with_handshake(deviceHandle, out lockdownHandle,
"Quamotion").ThrowOnError();
string deviceName;
lockdown.lockdownd_get_device_name(lockdownHandle, out deviceName).ThrowOnError();
deviceHandle.Dispose();
lockdownHandle.Dispose();
if(deviceName.equals(nameOfDevice)) //Check if name matches
{
foundUDID = udid;
break;
}
}
I'm now trying to implement the code above on Connect and I am using LibUsbDotnet DeviceNotify library for On connect events, but the issue now is the imobiledevice only returns info when I have two devices connected, it returns blank if only one device connected. On two device connected it shows the device #1 information.
here is my code
using iMobileDevice;
using iMobileDevice.iDevice;
using iMobileDevice.Lockdown;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using LibUsbDotNet.DeviceNotify;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace MobileDeviceDemo
{
class Program
{
public static IDeviceNotifier UsbDeviceNotifier = DeviceNotifier.OpenDeviceNotifier();
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//// Hook the device notifier event
UsbDeviceNotifier.OnDeviceNotify += OnDeviceNotifyEvent;
////NativeLibraries.Load();
// Exit on and key pressed.
Console.Clear();
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Waiting for USB Devices connection");
Console.Write("[Press any key to exit]");
while (!Console.KeyAvailable)
Application.DoEvents();
UsbDeviceNotifier.Enabled = false; // Disable the device notifier
// Unhook the device notifier event
UsbDeviceNotifier.OnDeviceNotify -= OnDeviceNotifyEvent;
//GenerateUDIDs();
//Console.ReadLine();
}
private static void OnDeviceNotifyEvent(object sender, DeviceNotifyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.EventType.ToString() == "DeviceArrival")
{
Console.WriteLine("\n Device Connected");
GenerateUDIDs();
}
}
private static void GenerateUDIDs()
{
NativeLibraries.Load();
ReadOnlyCollection<string> udids;
int count = 0;
var idevice = LibiMobileDevice.Instance.iDevice;
var lockdown = LibiMobileDevice.Instance.Lockdown;
var ret = idevice.idevice_get_device_list(out udids, ref count);
if (ret == iDeviceError.NoDevice)
{
// Not actually an error in our case
Console.WriteLine("No devices found");
return;
}
ret.ThrowOnError();
int NumberOfDeviceConnected = udids.Count;
Console.WriteLine($"\n Number of Devices Connected: {NumberOfDeviceConnected}");
int ctr = 0;
// Get the device name
foreach (var udid in udids)
{
ctr++;
iDeviceHandle deviceHandle;
idevice.idevice_new(out deviceHandle, udid).ThrowOnError();
LockdownClientHandle lockdownHandle;
lockdown.lockdownd_client_new_with_handshake(deviceHandle, out lockdownHandle, "Quamotion").ThrowOnError();
string deviceName;
lockdown.lockdownd_get_device_name(lockdownHandle, out deviceName).ThrowOnError();
string sn;
iMobileDevice.Plist.PlistHandle tested1;
lockdown.lockdownd_get_value(lockdownHandle, null, "SerialNumber", out tested1).ThrowOnError();
//Get string values from plist
tested1.Api.Plist.plist_get_string_val(tested1, out sn);
Console.WriteLine($"\n device: {ctr} Name: {deviceName} UDID: {udid} Serial Number: {sn}");
deviceHandle.Dispose();
lockdownHandle.Dispose();
}
}
}
}
and the output is:
Waiting for USB Devices connection
[Press any key to exit]

Apparently iMobileDevice Code is not triggering response on the first connect, Any Help on this would greatly be appreciated
