Is there some way to disable popup notifications to update my iPhone to iOS 13.5.1 whenever I plug it in?

[peanutismint]

I just updated my Mac to Catalina and my iPhone to iOS 13.5, but now every time I plug my iPhone into my Mac I get a popup notification telling me to update it again to 13.5.1 which I don't want to do because I'm jailbroken.

I noticed there was a Terminal command 'sudo softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Catalina"' to disable Catalina update notifications for those on older versions of MacOS, so I wondered whether there was anything similar to block iOS update notifications? I've already looked in all the usual places on MacOS, like the software update settings (all disabled) and the app store settings (also all disabled) but it keeps popping up when I plug my phone in via USB.

How can I stop this??

Hi,
first I must say that I am not 100% sure about my answer, because I have no way to try/test it now, but the information I will provide may (or may not) help you. I hope it helps


There is a Daemon, an agent Daemon [which is run after user graphical login), on MacOS Catalina, that I [suppose] is to check about iOS/mobile updates

The daemon is called "com.apple.MobileAccessoryUpdater.fudHelperAgent" and it is located at:

/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.MobileAccessoryUpdater.fudHelperAgent.plist

I suggest you rename that file to something like: com.apple.MobileAccessoryUpdater.fudHelperAgent.plist.DISABLE

logoff or reboot, and check if it solves the problem.

I hope so. (But as I mentioned, I am no able to test it before replying to you, because I currently don't have that same combination [iOS + Catalina] like the same version you have, to test it locally)

Thanks for the suggestion! I have tried to rename it but it seems to be read-only, even though my account is the only one on the system and it's supposed to have administrator priveleges....

EDIT: Found how to mount the file system in read/write for Catalina 👍

How did you mount the file system for read/write?
