Very interesting! Can I assume this would work with the Windows Subsystem for Linux? The Windows directions aren't filled in there.

You can find windows builds in this fork https://github.com/libimobiledevice-win32/imobiledevice-net, but make sure you have iTunes 12.x version installed.

I haven’t tested, but I believe it won’t work, at least by USB – WSL doesn’t have USB pass-through.

Could it be possible to have the usbmuxd part on the windows side, most likely the iTunes's Apple Mobile Device Helper service, and connect to it through TCP from WSL which might a bit of configuration on libimobiledevice or use socat to redirect from domain socket to TCP port.
