KIO Client error message

SUMMARY
It is impossible to open the AFC filesystem on devices running iOS/iPad OS in Plasma 6.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect an iPhone or an iPad to a PC running KDE Plasma 6
2. In the Disk & Devices pop-up window, select "Portable Media Player -> Open in File Manager"
3. Observe the resulting error message

OBSERVED RESULT
An error message claiming that the AFC URL does not exist.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin shows the AFC filesystem on the connected device.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240524
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Kernel Version: 6.9.1-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The error happens regardless of whether libimobiledevice and fusermount are installed on the system or not.

I can manually mount the AFC device using idevicepair and fusermount, so the problem is definitely on the KDE's side of things.
