IPhone Support
Hi, Is there any plans to support IPHONE with this library? Pretty much want to use the usb cable on the iphone to communicate to a hardware device.
@michaelonz , when I've looked in to this in the past, these are the kinds of things I see:
https://www.ios-blog.com/tutorials/iokit-an-introduction/
There is a framework called IO Kit, but the problem is that it doesn't really seem like you're meant to use it for iOS - or at least apps deployed in the store.
This link implies it can be done (for ipad - i assume iphone is similar):

@michaelonz the first step is leveraging the API in C#. This article doesn't really talk about the API at all.
Perhaps it's talking about the OS giving IO Kit the permission to actually use the device?
Is this any help: http://thecodewash.blogspot.com/2017/05/communicating-with-your-ios-app-over.html
@michaelonz ah yes, I've seen that one before. It's the only promising one I've come across.
If you are keen on building a POC - i.e. some app that talks to a device, I will find a way to integrate that code in to the Device.Net framework.
For now, this is something I definitely want to do, but all the other stuff in the pipeline also has to get done.
Hi Christian, Im very busy right now also - once the dust settles i will try and visit this and see if it can work.
