The `full` feature

To enable everything at once:

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
idevice = { version = "0.1.64", features = ["full"] }

TLS backend

By default, idevice uses aws-lc for TLS. You can switch to ring or openssl if needed:

Cargo.toml

# Use ring instead of aws-lc
idevice = { version = "0.1.64", default-features = false, features = ["ring", "usbmuxd"] }

# Use OpenSSL
idevice = { version = "0.1.64", default-features = false, features = ["openssl", "usbmuxd"] }

aws-lc is the default because it's fast and widely supported. Use ring if you're targeting platforms where aws-lc doesn't compile (e.g. Mac Catalyst). Use openssl if you need to link against an existing OpenSSL installation.
