Not detecting USB for pairing

[guyman624]

Hey, I'm running iOS 16.3.1 and I was trying to make your docker container work however I am having trouble.
During pairing I'm getting the message

Please connect your device via USB and try again.
If your device is connected, check the cable and make sure iTunes is running if on Windows
Press enter to continue

I have usbmuxd installed and running, any idea how I can get it working?
Using Debian 12

Just checking, are you running usbmuxd on the host, or just in the docker container?

Unfortunately, I'm unable to test this anymore as I'm on iOS 17 and that's not supported by JitStreamer. Apple has changed the whole process for the latest iOS, and I'm no longer using JIT. 😕

But some ideas I have:

• run the container with privileged: true
• ensure your device is unlocked, and developer mode is enabled in Settings -> Privacy and Security when you try to pair
• failing that, try and build on bare metal using the Dockerfile as a guide. Someone did a repo with instructions to build the specific commits on Ubuntu, but I think that's down.
• Try the official pairing binary on https://github.com/jkcoxson/JitStreamer/releases

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm going to archive this repo soon.

What I ended up doing was copying the binaries to the host and they worked there. My next issue was with the shortcut seemingly not working anymore, I got a code but after typing the code there was a server error, reading some issues on the original repo reveals something about http and https to original JitStreamer site, which is now completely dead. I think JitStreamer might just be done for, I tried SideStore instead which seems to work great, until it unsigns itself randomly :(.

Thanks for the help anyway, maybe once I have some more time I can try and figure out the server error thing.

Alright, there's an update to this. It works when I use jitterbugpair file instead of trying to use the shortcut. That might be my solution, thanks again.

Ahh I forgot to mention in the instructions you have to edit the JitSteamer iOS shortcut to point to the IP address or hostname of your JitStreamer instance (and not the public instance that’s no longer available). That’s probably why you couldn’t pair.
