Please don't forget CC the list unless there is sensitive information,
the discussion may also help others.

For iOS 14, that patch is needed so if Apple did the same change in
the newer iOS 13 branch, upgrading to 12.2-STABLE is necessary. You
can also upgrade to 13.0-RELEASE if you want to keep tracking
-RELEASE.

You can exit usbmuxd when you see ue0 is available. TBH I don't check
the details in those tools.

If you can get an IP from DHCP, but cannot do any transmission, that's
exactly the same behavior on iOS 14 without that patch so upgrading to
a newer version might help.

Best,

Sorry, I made another mistake ?, this is my first time to use a mailing list.

Applying the 12.2-RELEASE-p6 patch doesn?t seem to work, how can I transfer to
12.2-STABLE?
