Hi !

Has anyone managed to connect an iPhone to an AppVM. That's the only reason I 
use an additional laptop (without qubes) to be able to make backups of the 
iPhone with iTunes.

setup: qubes os v4.0.3, AppVM: windows7.

Attempts so far:
1. Connecting using USB pass-through: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb-devices/
> doesn't work. Device doesn't appear in windows due to lack of usb_proxy in 
qubes-windows-tools (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-tools/)

2. iTunes support sync by wifi but only if you've managed to connect the iPhone 
once by usb. So what I tried was to setup everything in virtualbox (usb 
passthourgh works there) and convert the vbox-filessystem to a AppVm. (see 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/standalone-and-hvm/)
> Doesn't work, because qubes v4.0 uses thin pools and is not file based 
anymore. So I don't manage to use the converted file.

3. Rootkovksa proposed using reactos for iTunes, but there's no progress since 
years: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2809

4. Trying to install windows+iTunes at qubes first and then overwrite the 
iTunes installation with one that was already been connected with usb on 
another machine (to use wifi sync) doesn't work. Seems that I'm still missing 
to replace something.


Any suggestions or hints are very appreciated!!!


Best! P.
