idevicedate.c not able to sync(set time of device to current system time) about libimobiledevice

[bucktaiwan]

http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ says "Date and Time" is done for version libimobiledevice 1.1.1+ for ios 6.1.4.
I am using ios 6.1.3. Is it the reason sync does not work???

Hi, the problem is that Apple decided to not allow syncing the time from the computer anymore since iOS 5 or so.

Nikias, thank you. Good to know what is going on.

Well, another reason is that the device is expecting the time to be set as a "real" plist node but idevicedate set's it using a "uint" node type.

I tried to change this quickly to "real" and the correct time showed up in the syslog, however the next lines indicated that it get's forwarded to "timed".

Latter however also points out in the syslog that it won't change the time for whatever reason (iOS bug?):

Sep 11 18:42:22  timed[18] <Notice>: (Note ) CoreTime: Received time 09/03/2013 10:59:22±60.00 from "MobileLockdown"
Sep 11 18:42:22  timed[18] <Notice>: (Note ) CoreTime: Not setting system time to 09/11/2013 16:42:23 from GPS because time is unchanged

Maybe something else is just missing for this to work again?

I tried it and got failure either, is there any way to make it work?

Dear FunckyM, would you please put the code snippet so that I can try it?

[nikias]

As stated earlier, setting the time is disallowed since iOS 5. I already tried to find a way to make it work again a while back but without success. Of course if the device is jailbroken you can hook the right functions to change that behavior but not with stock iOS. I think we can close it now unless someone comes up with a solution.

@nikias I think idevicedate should error out when someone attempts to set the date on iOS 5+ to be able to "close" this bug.

@FunkyM well I found out that you can set time (and timezone) when the device is not set up yet, i.e. the Setup Assistant is displayed.

Thank you guys, great job!

Hi @FunkyM , can we set language and region at setup assistant to bypass 2 steps here ?
