I am trying to develop a simple menu bar application that would let me visualize the charging status of my attached iPhone/iPad without having to launch iTunes. After a long search, I am unable to conclude if this is a possibility with the Snow Leopard APIs.
My search has led me to a service running at boot time called com.apple.ipodserver, but I am unable to find any public API surrounding it.
Is my idea implementable?
There are several utilities for iphone on MAC and Windows , but most of them interact with the file system of your iphone .. i guess you would have to write one app which will run on your iphone and provide interface to your app on mac and your app on mac will use data from that interface ...
e.g. your app on iphone can create a txt file and update battery charging status in it and your app on mac can read that file so far so simple
