macOS Automator : is there an event for "iOS device connected"? I am wondering about the presence of an event "iOS / iPhone device connected" in macOS Sierra Automator.

I would like to launch an automatic import from photos, into specific folder on my mac. (Indeed, the AutoImporter.app function of the Image Transfer app does not work with me, it's a unresolved BUG, please note iCloud disabled don't resolve it).

Thanks for your help and knowledge in Automator
In order to import your iPhone's photos using Image Capture and AutoImporter you need to disable iCloud Photo Library and My Photo Stream.

How to disable iCloud Photo Library



On your iPhone


Go to Settings > Photos &amp; Camera
Disable iCloud Photo Library and My Photo Stream.
Connect your iPhone to you laptop


Be aware that your photos won't be uploaded to iCloud any longer.

As long as your iPhone is unlocked you can import your photos from any computer that supports USB cameras.



Now you are able to import your photos with AutoImporter.app.
