Apple devices like iPhone, iPad and using them with Fedora desktop. Camera's photos used to be accessible using different file managers and photo organizing software, but that broken around Fedora 24 when Apple iOS upgrade was released and protocol behaviour changed. Currently all those tools using AFC-extension are broken and only way to access photos is cumbersome commandline tools.

Required packages:

dnf install ifuse libplist libplist-python libimobiledevice-utils libimobiledevice-devel libimobiledevice usbmuxd gvfs-afc gvfs-gphoto2

File access

File access requires AFC-protocol extension for GFS (gnome file system) and is available in gvfs-afc package.

Nautilus

The removal of the nautilus properties page on an connected idevice does have an effect that a nautilus-ideviceinfo extension that has been in gnome git for many years cannot be easily exposed and used and a gnome bugzilla entry has been active from last year without even a comment to date.

Commandline

% idevicepair pair
SUCCESS: Paired with device e430df2262310bc88e16abde812a526c36ce8076
% ifuse /mnt/a
% mount | grep ifuse
ifuse                          57852424   12774908  45077516  23% /mnt/a

Directory /mnt/a must exist and be user writable. Images taken with camera, screenshots etc are under DCIM folder tree.
