A cross-platform software protocol library and tools to communicate with iOS devices natively. It does not depend on using any existing proprietary libraries and does not require jailbreaking

libimobiledevice is a cross-platform open source software library that talks the protocols to support iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices. Unlike other projects, it does not depend on using any existing proprietary libraries and does not require jailbreaking. It allows other software to easily access the device's filesystem, retrieve information about the device and it's internals, backup/restore the device, manage SpringBoard icons, manage installed applications, retrieve addressbook/calendars/notes and bookmarks and (using libgpod) synchronize music and video to the device. The library is in development since August 2007 with the goal to bring support for these devices to the Linux Desktop.

To install in your Mac

brew install libimobiledevice
