POMethod for getting iPhone information from a Mac App
text
Body
copied!<p>I was tasked with a subject that requires immediate development, but I'm at lost. The task was to make a Mac App to get the UDID (and other information) of an iPhone plugged in a Mac and then export it in a csv file. The same thing can be achieved through iTunes or iPhone Configuration Utility, copy-pasting to Excel or Numbers, but it is very time consuming and the users requested something like this:</p> <p>-User plugs iPhone on Mac</p> <p>-User runs app.</p> <p>-iPhone data is fetched and gets exported to a csv file.</p> <p>The csv file export is already covered, so what I need right now is a method (as Sarah said in the comments) on the Mac SDK that will let me get those information. After hours on google I found out that I can use IOKit to get information from devices connected fror the USB ports, but nothing else came up specifying on how.</p> <p>Sorry if it is too simple, I think a simple google search can suffice but I still can't find any leads.Thanks for the help.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: I now think that it is not that simple. I've gotten to the point of using IOKit to get information from a USB device using <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/USBPrivateDataSample/Listings/USBPrivateDataSample_c.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10000456-USBPrivateDataSample_c-DontLinkElementID_4" rel="nofollow">this sample</a>. But after that I have no idea what to do. I'm still reading on the IOKit documentation, but if ever there are others who've encountered this and know the solution it would be a great deal of help.</p>
