Sam Gleske, with all due respect, that is not an really an answer. I am an end user, not a code developer, but I understood the basics of the problem with the package being built with GnuTLS instead of the correct version of OpenSSL. You are also incorrect with respect to libimobiledevice being fixed within the Ubuntu 16.04 repositories. The most recent version still has this bug and I confirmed that it still does not work either in Ubuntu 16.04 or the related Mint 18.
A patch was suggested as a solution, but the linked patch provided no clear, understandable (at least to me, an end user) description of how to install it. I did find a very helpful solution here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libimobiledevice/+question/402748 which provided a link to a ppa with updated versions of libimobiledevice for Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 using OpenSSL at the following URL: https://launchpad.net/~martin- salbaba/+archive/ubuntu/ppa+libimobiledevice I installed the version from the PPA, unpaired and paired the phone, and confirmed that it works at least in my case (Mint 18 & Ubuntu 16.04, iPhone 5c, and iOS10.1). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to libimobiledevice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623666 Title: iOS10 will not connect to Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnutls28/+bug/1623666/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
