Flutter cannot identify iOS 17 devices as wireless #128827

Description

@vashworth

Introduced in iOS 17 / Xcode 15, all paired devices are automatically wirelessly connected and it can't be disabled.

However, xcdevice list, which we use to get information about physical iOS devices, return that the interface is usb, rather than network (network is the expected interface for wireless devices).

In the short term, we could consider all iOS 17 physical devices as wireless, but would need to figure out how to get the device logs.

In the future, we will probably want to switch to use the new devicectl command, which provides accurate information, once it's out of preview.
