Redirects the standard usbmuxd socket to allow connections to local and remote usbmuxd instances so remote devices appear connected locally.
Copy usbfluxd binary to a location included in $PATH, for example /usr/local/sbin:
sudo cp usbfluxd /usr/local/sbin/
Note: usbfluxd requires root permissions to run.
To start usbfluxd, run:
sudo usbfluxd
It will log to syslog by default. Usbfluxd can be run in foreground using -f, and also with increased verbosity by adding -v to the command line. Multiple -v can be passed.
Please be aware that all usbmuxd-aware apps like Xcode or iTunes need to be restarted so they will talk to usbfluxd instead of the original usbmuxd.
To stop usbfluxd, run:
sudo killall usbfluxd
Also after stopping usbfluxd, remember to restart any app that relies on usbmuxd so it returns to the original state.
