Option	Description
--native	macOS only: reach the iOS 17+ tunnel by piggybacking Apple's own remoted tunnel via the remotepairingd service. NO root, no entitlement, no Xcode, and remoted is left running (so it coexists with Xcode/devicectl). Rides Apple's kernel-routable tunnel, so throughput matches the kernel tunnel. Mutually exclusive with --rsd/--tunnel/--userspace. [env var: PYMOBILEDEVICE3_NATIVE]

Accepts the connection options: --rsd, --tunnel, --userspace, --mobdev2, --usbmux, --udid.
