I'm working a cross-platform tool written in C++ that will have the ability to detect the deviceid (i.e. iPhone7,1) and iOS version (i.e. 8.1.2) of connected devices, similar to how many jailbreak utilities do.

After looking around, I haven't been able to find a solution that is cross-platform (OSX and Windows, and maybe even Linux) and isn't a large library (libimobiledevice), and I know this can be done.

Does anyone have any insight on how to do this?

I have also tried to write an application that does something like what you're trying to do (get information about an IDevice), and the best thing I have found is libimobiledevice.

For Mac OS X, you can use the system_profiler command, and have it dump the output as xml, then parse it to find deviceid, and possibly IOS version. However, as I said, I think libimobiledevice is your best bet.
