Maybe check the command syntax and read the instructions again? The error message is clear enough: invalid command. If you only have ONE (1) iOS device attached, you do not have to specify the UDID: $ idevicepair pair but if you want or need to specify UDID, then make sure you do it correctly: $ idevicepair --help Usage: idevicepair [OPTIONS] COMMAND Manage host pairings with devices and usbmuxd. Where COMMAND is one of: systembuid print the system buid of the usbmuxd host hostid print the host id for target device pair pair device with this host validate validate if device is paired with this host unpair unpair device with this host list list devices paired with this host The following OPTIONS are accepted: -u, --udid UDID target specific device by UDID <--- *** this one *** -d, --debug enable communication debugging -h, --help prints usage information -v, --version prints version information and thus $ idevicepair --udid <UDID> pair OR $ idevicepair -u <UDID> pair -ed
