I would like to write a cygwin application that interacts with an iPhone that is connected to a windows 10 computer via the usb port.
The iphone shows up in windows as a device, not as a drive.
I have tried to compile and run the libmtp cygwin library but none of the sample applications seem to be able to access a connected iphone.
How can an application access a connected iPhone and read the photos and videos stored on it?

I wanna make an app that supports as many OS as possible(Windows, iOS, macOS, ChromeOS) so I'm trying out PyQt6 but also need it to work on a Chrome OS WITHOUT DEVELOPER MODE. With my experience with chromebooks, some apps in the play store downloaded on the phone can also be downloaded in the chromebook. So how do I modify my apk or xapk file to suit chromebooks?
A client has asked us to "revive" an old Windows Mobile application that is used by their receiving department.
At some point they wrote a custom Windows Mobile 6 app for Windows CE devices (a Motorola MC55A to be specific).
They have a project in place to replace this app - but it won't happen for a bit and they want to install the custom app on some newly refurbished devices they found as an interim solution.
I found the source code for the application. It even contains an installer project that generates the CAB files.
What I do not know how to do is get the compiled app and installer onto the device.
I am using one of their legacy computers to build the app and connect to the device. The computer has Windows Mobile Center installed and when I see the device connected - I the ability to add / remove programs on the device.
Not sure if this is the route I should be going. Ideally I want to put the installer behind a web page and just have each device download the installer to install the app.
This stuff is pretty dated - I am having a hard time on the specifics of deployment.
You can put the CAB file on the device and launch it manually using the file explorer on the device to install the files.
Some industrial devices like Honeywell, Intermec, Motorola, Symbol, Zebra and others support the auto install of cab files, if the files are put in a special folder on the device. For former Intermec Honeywell devices, this folder is called \Flash File Store\CabFiles. If a cab file is placed in this folder, it will be installed on the next reboot.
You may also put a link to the CAB file on a web site and open that web site within the Internet Explorer on the device. The device will ask for the installation, when the file link is tapped. Please note that some web server like IIS by default block CAB files from being loaded! If so, you need to configure the web server to allow cab file downloading.
Many months later, but I wanted to answer this for future reference, when you DEPLOY Solution, Visual Studio (2008 was the last one supporting windows mobile apps) will ask you for a target device or emulator, here you can select the device and it will be installed, there will be no entry in add/remove programs on the device unless you install it via an installation CAB. You must create an "Smart Device Cab Project" and configure it for your solution.
I have a website that loads perfectly on various browsers on Windows Laptop, Android and Fire OS. The same site refuses to load on a Safari on an iPhone.
It is an angular application. While I see the index.html load, the angular does not load. I need to debug to figure out what is happening. I only have a Windows 10 laptop. How can I debug the website running on Safari on an iPhone from my Windows 10 laptop?
If you only have a windows laptop, you will need an online service like browserstack. There is no way around this. Physical Iphones can only be debugged with Safari, running on physical Mac desktops or laptops. Browserstack is a subscription service, but it will be a lot cheaper than buying the hardware.

Building and debugging websites and web applications for mobile devices can be a hassle. On the desktop we have powerful debugging tools; most browsers have a web inspector of some kind. But we don’t have those tools for devices like the iPhone and iPad … that is, until now!

I have a mac application that needs to get the list of installed applications on the connected iPhone. How can it be done? Or can it be done at all? Private api is also fine
How would I send a command to a Mac (which has network sharing turned on) over the Wi-Fi network that both it and the iphone is connected to? In my case I want it to open an application.
By network sharing, I assume you are only sharing files. To launch an app, you'd either need to have Remote Login turned on (which would allow Richard's SSH suggestion) or have an application running on the Mac which is listening on a specific port. Your iPhone app would then communicate over this port. Some iPhone apps have a Mac app counterpart (cf. Reach My Files, Here File, File) for the purpose of communicating with the Mac.
How much work are you expecting the user to do when they install your app? Will you walk them through how to turn on Remote Login option in System Preferences under Sharing (in which case, the iPhone app will need to have the user credentials of a user allowed to login remotely), or have them just install an app? The latter is much more user-friendly, but more work on your part.
To actually launch the app, you can use the open command. Type man open for more details, but basically, to launch, for example, iTunes: open -a iTunes.app.
