When I plug in my iPhone, usbmuxd starts automatically, and my phone starts charging, but USB tethering and file transfer won’t work. So naturally, I would try replugging my iPhone; nothing would change, the phone charges but still no USB tethering and file transferring, and usbmuxd would still be running even after unplugging.
Then if I kill usbmuxd, everything starts working instantly.
Now, if I unplug my iPhone, usbmuxd would kill itself, and it starts automatically when I plug it in again.
It’s just the first time usbmuxd won’t work; you just have to kill it the first time, and everything starts working fine.

usbmuxd stands for “USB multiplexing daemon”. This daemon is in charge of multiplexing connections over USB to an iOS device.
So from what I know, it’s basically udev rule that lets you connect to your iPhone.
Everything was working fine some days back; the problem just started a few days ago.
I have a very similar issue in my Void Linux installation, and I had reported the issue a few days ago, which is still not fixed:
please have a look here: USB tethering not working, might be due to a bug in 'usbmux' package. · Issue #34458 · void-linux/void-packages · GitHub
It is a long thread, you could go through it for context, and by the end of the thread, I think we have narrowed it down to the actual issue, which I have posted here too, but the problem still remains unsolved.
We could report it to the package developer if this is the same issue.
Thank you.
