I’m test-driving Fedora 41 Beta and can’t use the USB file transfer functionality with my iPhone anymore. I can see the Documents and Photos entries added in Nautilus sidebar but clicking on “Documents” shows an error modal. I can browse the Photos and the wired tethering works as far as I can tell, but the actual file transfer support is broken. I checked on my F40 laptop this morning and everything still works.
This is what I see in journalctl (some bits redacted):

Pretty sure this is a bug but not sure under which component to file an issue.
Is anyone else seeing this?
