I can't connect my laptop to iPhone hotspot

I have installed Artix Linux Runit on my laptop and I want to connect my laptop to iPhone hotspot other way than bluetooth. I installed libimobiledevice and ifuse but those things just can't find my device. Is there anyone that can help me?

How do you manage your networking? Can you see other wireless networks?

I use connman to manage my networking, I see all wifi networks, even my iPhone hotspot, but I can’t connect to my iPhone hotspot.

I just found out that problem was that I was using connman, I switched to nmcli and now it is kind of working

You should avoid using more than one network management software at once. Choose one and stick with it.

Also something to keep in mind is that if you use a DE, some of them expect specific network management programs for their built-in network indicators, for example, Plasma requires NetworkManager (so don't use connman if you want built-in Plasma tray icon functionality).

If eye candy is not necessary, wpa_supplicant or iw are enough, BTW.
