Android Studio not recognizing iPhone XS properly

[timtraversy]

I just received an iPhoneXS for development, and when I plug it into my computer, Android Studio displays this in the device list:

Instead of the usual:

You can also see this in the flutter doctor report. One of the connected devices is 'Pete's iPhone'. The other one is this huge string that shows the command line tools for ideviceinfo or libimobiledevice.

This also causes an error during installation:

Homepage: <http://libimobiledevice.org> in debug mode...
Automatically signing iOS for device deployment using specified development team in Xcode project: AW3JDRAG27
Starting Xcode build...
Xcode build done.
Installing and launching...
error: module importing failed: ('invalid syntax', ('temp.py', 1, 27, 'import fruitstrap_00008020-001C50503488002E\n'))
backtrace unavailable

I'm not sure if this is an error in Android Studio, the libimobiledevice library, or Flutter. I made sure to redo all the Flutter iOS installation instructions.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect physical iPhone XS to Android Studio, observe device list

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Were you able to fix this issue?

[timtraversy]

No, not yet. I reinstalled pretty much all the relevant tools here and it stil only works on iPhones other than my XS, so it must be device specific. I might open this issue with the libimobiledevice repo, because I’m pretty sure that’s the code that allows flutter projects to be tested on iOS devices.

libimobiledevice/ideviceinstaller#101 (comment)

[mortkane]

Same problem here, but it works, when you build directly in Xcode!

[timtraversy]

Thanks! I forgot to mention that in my issue description. XCode builds are fine but obviously don’t offer hot reload, so can’t really be used for fast development.

[HelveticaScenario]

this is due to ideviceinstaller, ios-deploy, and libimobiledevice expecting a 40 digit hexadecimal string for the UDID, which seems to have changed for the iPhone XS (and i would assume the max as well but i dont have one to test). I have fixed this and submitted pull requests to the 3 projects libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice#703 libimobiledevice/ideviceinstaller#102
ios-control/ios-deploy#360

[timtraversy]

Thank you! Nice work.

[jasnig]

Meeting the same problem with iphone xs max.

[timtraversy]

Although these library issues have not been fixed yet, I'm going to close this since it doesn't really pertain to the flutter team.
