Details
Some users rely on iPhone tethering for Internet access. For
example, they might live in a rural area and don't have
fiber / landline ADSL service in the area and use 4G data
tethered from their iPhone instead. libimobiledevice is
essential for them to connect to the iPhone tethering
network. Currently, ArchISO doesn't include this package, so
they have to download this package and its dependencies
prior to a fresh installation.
I am requesting to include this libimobiledevice package and its dependencies in the ArchISO to ease the installation process for those users. There are only 4 packages altogether (libplist libusbmuxd usbmuxd libimobiledevice) and only < 1 MiB in total, and all are of free licensing. |

This is certainly something we can include.
