Bug ID: 472600
Summary: iOS device fails to mount with certain characters in
device name
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.108.0
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When there are certain URL unsafe characters in a device name, the device fails
to mount. It appears there is an incomplete "hack" in place for handling spaces
in the device name, but it's not sufficient for handling `(` and `)`:
https://invent.kde.org/network/kio-extras/-/blame/master/afc/kio_afc.cpp#L276
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rename an iOS device to have a `(` in the name (Settings -> General -> About
-> Name). Let's say "iPad (2)" for example
2. Connect the device with USB cable
3. Click "Trust" on the pairing dialog if it shows up
4. `idevicepair validate` should succeed with "SUCCESS: Validated pairing with
device xxxx-xxxx"
5. Now, try opening the device in Dolphin
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message "Loading canceled" in Dolphin
Error in console `kf.kio.workers.afc: Failed to normalize "iPad (2)" into a
valid URL host, this is a bug!`
EXPECTED RESULT
Should work fine just like when there are no URL unsafe characters in the name.
