Phonegap debug on iOS Device need unplug/plug to work

Question

I have a problem which is really boring.

When I use the command phonegap run ios on my Mac, I always need to unplug / plug again my device about 5s before the end of compilation, or it won't work.

When it doesn't work, I have this error :

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

------ Install phase ------
[....] Waiting for iOS device to be connected
[  0%] Found device (8879a32aa84069dc4cb8a9fb1bacfb1961057db3), beginning install
Assertion failed: (AMDeviceStartService(device, CFSTR("com.apple.afc"), &afcFd, NULL) == 0), function handle_device, file ios-deploy.c, line 775.

Is there is a way to avoid this problem ?

Answer 1

I found a solution by random.

Simply needs to open Xcode and let it open. It will maintain the connection alive to the device.

Answer 2

Be sure to click the "eject" button on iTunes if it's open and then close iTunes. Having iTunes open and the phone connected to iTunes will cause this issue.
