FEATURE REQUEST: usbmuxd2 support

[fish4terrisa-MSDSM]

Usbmuxd2 is a new kind of usbmuxd.
It seems that when usbmuxd2 is connected with the device(I can run idevice_id to get the id, and use ideviceinfo to get device info, use idevicesyslog to get the log...etc.)
However, pymobiledevice3 cannot connect to the device.
It always give the error:

pymobiledevice3.exceptions.ConnectionFailedError: got an error message: {'MessageType': 'Result', 'Number': 3}

A full error log with sudo pymobiledevice3 usbmux list ( I can use ideviceinfo and idevice_id when I'm running this command ):

Does anyone know how to fix it?
Usbmuxd2 is the only kind of usbmuxd that can connect my ipad pro m4 with ios 17.4 through tailscale...

Unfortunately, usbmuxd2 does not support the Connect protocol message. The correct fix would be to submit a PR to usbmuxd2 to support it.

You can however add support for pymobile to support it since you managed to build usbmuxd2 so feel free to PR whichever project

@fish4terrisa-MSDSM I also struggled with a very similar problem until I discovered that pymobiledevice3 is able to connect to lockdownd wirelessly on my iPhone on its own without usbmuxd2. You can try enabling wireless lockdown connections and then pymobiledevice3 tunneld should be able to discover the iOS device and connect to it.
