iasync - sync files to iOS app folders

iasync uses libimobiledevice to sync a local directory tree with an iOS device. This is intended as a replacement to pairing ifuse and rsync, where users might have issues with fuse (or be unable to use fuse at all).

Building

This project requires the following:

• libimobiledevice for the actual iOS bits.
• libbsd on non-BSD/macOS systems.
• meson and ninja as the build system.

To build in the directory build, run:

meson setup build/
ninja -C build/
# To install:
ninja -C build/ install

Usage

See the manpage for more details (man 1 iasync).

Primarily, if you have more than one iOS device connected to your system, you'll need the name or UDID of your device:

$ iasync lsdevs
Name        Conn.      UDID
My Iphone   USB        00000000-0000000

Then, get the Bundle ID for the app you want to sync:

$ iasync lsapps
App Name   Bundle ID
[...]
Doppler    co.brushedtype.doppler-ios

To sync a directory tree to the app, you could run:

$ iasync sync ~/Music co.brushedtype.doppler-ios

If you want to delete files that exist on the device but not locally, use the --allow-delete flag:

$ iasync sync --allow-delete ~/Music co.brushedtype.doppler-ios
