| Nov 5, 2014 at 19:29 | comment | added | jherran | Are you sure you have an iPhone? ;) May I ask how is your network? It appears for me with the three commands posted. | |

Will arp -a show it?...

| Nov 5, 2014 at 18:16 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Same, it finds all other devices except the iDevices; except it doesn't find iDevs, even when they have been recently used, which arp-scan still achieves | |

Could you please replace /usr/local/bin/arp-scan -l with nmap -sP 192.169.0.0/24? Is other way to scan network that must works. On the ip you must use your own range.

| Nov 5, 2014 at 15:36 | comment | added | Tetsujin | arp-scan -interface=en1 -l can find all the other devices on the network, just not the iDevices, unless I've very recently been using any of them. If I let the phone sleep, it falls off the list. I tried manually shifting the status to Away in Messages & setting airplane mode on the phone... iMessages still turn up at the compy. My current guess is that I would have to sign out to make it stop. | |
| Nov 5, 2014 at 15:26 | comment | added | jherran | I'm trying since I wrote my answer and I found one issue with arp-scan. Once you arrive at home you must use the iPhone (open a website on it for example) before can be discovered. If you are trying arp-scan from the terminal, you must sudo. To test if it works, just switch off the wifi on your phone. | |
| Nov 5, 2014 at 14:43 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I've got the basic structure working... but... I'm seeing 2 potential blocking points - I cannot get arp-scan to find any iDevice on the network, though it finds all the wired hardware. If I can get past this point, I haven't yet been able to test whether setting Available or Away is going to work for iMessages [took me quite some time to figure out you can only access those options if you enable Bonjour, or some other legacy iChat-type protocol] | |
