I know this is old, but how did you get libimobiledevice to link with Swift properly? I have everything installed (ideviceinfo works), but adding libimobiledevice.dylib as a dependency in Xcode doesn't make it available in Swift. I wouldn't normally bother you but I couldn't find anything online.

Try adding the source to the Xcode project then importing the libimobiledevice.h file into the bridging header
