About:
LibimobiledeviceGlue is a shared library that consolidates common system-level API code used across various libimobiledevice projects. It serves as an internal dependency to reduce code duplication and ensure consistent interaction with iOS and macOS system services. This package is essential for developers building or maintaining the libimobiledevice ecosystem.

Key Features:

Provides a unified codebase for common system API functions
Reduces code duplication across libimobiledevice projects
Ensures consistent behavior and maintenance
Lightweight and focused on core functionality

Use Cases:

Compiling libimobiledevice and related tools from source
Developing custom applications that interface with Apple mobile devices
Maintaining the libimobiledevice software stack on macOS or Linux

Alternatives:

libimobiledevice – The main library for communication; glue is a smaller, internal dependency.
usbmuxd – Handles USB multiplexing daemon; glue provides API utilities, not daemon services.
