Implement two-way contact / calendar syncing

#7

libiphone should be able to read and write contact / calendars from device and sync them with host.

To fix this ticket, either an OpenSync or Conduit plugin that perform full sync must be provided. (Or any other syncing platform solution).

    I experience issues in the USB communication with contacts if they use a lot of photos on OS 3.0. The full packet is not correctly received by usbmuxd, the device just stops sending the last ~500 bytes or so out of 131409...

    Also the initial DLVersionExchange (apparently called "DeviceLink" step) was extended on OS 3.0 and needs some extra parameter which the device complains about in the syslog (probably sync-over-bluetooth stuff).

    I think we should not do the version exchange stuff in mobilesync_client_new() either but start to seperate stuff out. The client application should handle that in order to be able to report on incompatible versions etc., we should only provide the protocol access API.

    UPDATE 21/03/2010: The version exchange has been properly abstracted away now. One way syncing is working well and is understood. Next up is two way sync...

    Ok, I think we reached some kind of milestone here. The sync process is now fully documented here:
    http://libimobiledevice.org/docs/mobilesync.html

    Work on making this useful is underway.

    I vote for akonadi resource. The programming guide is so easy that I was able to build the empty resource wouthout having ever typed a single line of C++ code in my life.

    Unfortunately, I'm stuck there :-(

    Some progress, the first software other than iTunes to push contacts to any iDevice using the native mobilesync protocol:

    Some more work to turn this into an Evolution plugin might actually make it the first two-way sync solution on Linux...
