Get UDID of iphone on Connect c#

Question

I am trying to get Iphone's UDID on connect on a c# application. I've found that I could do that using IMobileDevice-net nuget package, But I could not find further documentation on how to use its classes.

Does anyone know where I can find documentation or have sample code?

Answer 1

I'm now trying to implement the code above on Connect and I am using LibUsbDotnet DeviceNotify library for On connect events, but the issue now is the imobiledevice only returns info when I have two devices connected, it returns blank if only one device connected. On two device connected it shows the device #1 information.

here is my code

using iMobileDevice;
using iMobileDevice.iDevice;
using iMobileDevice.Lockdown;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using LibUsbDotNet.DeviceNotify;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MobileDeviceDemo
{
    class Program
    {
        public static IDeviceNotifier UsbDeviceNotifier = DeviceNotifier.OpenDeviceNotifier();
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            //// Hook the device notifier event
            UsbDeviceNotifier.OnDeviceNotify += OnDeviceNotifyEvent;

            ////NativeLibraries.Load();



            // Exit on and key pressed.
            Console.Clear();
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Waiting for USB Devices connection");
            Console.Write("[Press any key to exit]");

            while (!Console.KeyAvailable)
                Application.DoEvents();

            UsbDeviceNotifier.Enabled = false;  // Disable the device notifier

            // Unhook the device notifier event
            UsbDeviceNotifier.OnDeviceNotify -= OnDeviceNotifyEvent;
            //GenerateUDIDs();
            //Console.ReadLine();


        }

        private static void OnDeviceNotifyEvent(object sender, DeviceNotifyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.EventType.ToString() == "DeviceArrival")
            {
                Console.WriteLine("\n Device Connected");

                GenerateUDIDs();
            }

        }

        private static void GenerateUDIDs()
        {
            NativeLibraries.Load();

            ReadOnlyCollection<string> udids;
            int count = 0;

            var idevice = LibiMobileDevice.Instance.iDevice;
            var lockdown = LibiMobileDevice.Instance.Lockdown;

            var ret = idevice.idevice_get_device_list(out udids, ref count);

            if (ret == iDeviceError.NoDevice)
            {
                // Not actually an error in our case
                Console.WriteLine("No devices found");
                return;
            }

            ret.ThrowOnError();

            int NumberOfDeviceConnected = udids.Count;
            Console.WriteLine($"\n Number of Devices Connected: {NumberOfDeviceConnected}");

            int ctr = 0;
            // Get the device name
            foreach (var udid in udids)
            {
                ctr++;
                iDeviceHandle deviceHandle;
                idevice.idevice_new(out deviceHandle, udid).ThrowOnError();

                LockdownClientHandle lockdownHandle;
                lockdown.lockdownd_client_new_with_handshake(deviceHandle, out lockdownHandle, "Quamotion").ThrowOnError();

                string deviceName;
                lockdown.lockdownd_get_device_name(lockdownHandle, out deviceName).ThrowOnError();

                string sn;
                iMobileDevice.Plist.PlistHandle tested1;
                lockdown.lockdownd_get_value(lockdownHandle, null, "SerialNumber", out tested1).ThrowOnError();

                //Get string values from plist
                tested1.Api.Plist.plist_get_string_val(tested1, out sn);


                Console.WriteLine($"\n device: {ctr} Name: {deviceName}  UDID: {udid}  Serial Number: {sn}");

                deviceHandle.Dispose();
                lockdownHandle.Dispose();
            }
        }
    }
}

and the output is:

Waiting for USB Devices connection
[Press any key to exit]

 Number of Devices Connected: 0  

   <!--- 1 Device Connected Not Displaying Output --->

   <!--- 3 Device Connected Displaying Only the 1st and 2nd device connected --->

 device: 2 Name: iPhone  UDID: 00008030-001538121A8A802E  Serial Number: F2LZR12AN70F

Apparently iMobileDevice Code is not triggering response on the first connect, Any Help on this would greatly be appreciated
