I simply installed RPD on Garuda Linux (Arch) via Pacman. Started the app. Connected iPhone via USB. iPhone shows up under Devices. I click the iPhone. I get a popup saying an error occurred while scanning the Apple iPhone.
When I start RPD via CLI, I get the following output after crashing:
ERROR: Unexpected exception while scanning Apple iPhone

If you try to access an iPhone using gPhoto2 you're in for a whole world of pain. It will not work because Apple violates the PTP standard so they can do their own thing.
Instead you should use idevicepair and ifuse to pair and mount the device, before downloading from it using Rapid Photo Downloader's "This Computer" directory listing.
