Is it possible to to communicate between MAC/Windows programs and an application on iOS through USB?
Requirements:
- No jailbreak required
- App store approval
I looked into USBMuxConnectByPort and it requires SSH/Jailbreak.
Is there any other option?

any progress on this? I have been using Wi-Fi for desktop<->iOS communication, but I need a performance boost in the transfer rate, so USB should be great. – louissmr Feb 16 '14 at 17:07

AFAIK 'USBMuxConnectByPort' does not require jailbreak – Alexander Smirnov Feb 22 '15 at 20:22

It is possible. 'USBMuxConnectByPort' is the function from the private framework MobileDevice.framework See usage example here: https://github.com/smirn0v/imux imux – application I wrote that ties local tcp port on your mac with tcp port on your ipad/iphone. So connection to 127.0.0.1:someport will actually connect you to your iPhone/iPad via usb.

do you know if there is a chance to connect to a normal computer via usb? For lets say message based communication with a 1s interval? For example json or xml messages? – Daniel Bo Jun 06 '15 at 01:37
