Hey Peter, thanks for responding.
So things "work" just not as they used to. I can still mount the
files from the iphone if I use idevicepair and ifuse as described
at
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/fedora-22-iphone.html
The problem is when I'm using nautilus I used to just be able to click
on the iphone in the left hand side menu and it would mount the files
and I could browse around. Now I see a similar item in the menu but
all I see are "Documents on Dusty's iPhone" and it lists out a few apps
that are installed on my phone, but it doesn't give me any option to
mount and browse files.
Well there's been no change lower down the stack since F-22 and the
core functionality seems to be working. That indicates it's either 1)
a change in iOS version that has impacted this (I've no idea about
this) or a change in the way gvfs deals with iOS/afc which looking at
changelogs for 1.28 could be the case [1]. The one of interest seems
to be commit 0b68656
