Using Dolphin, navigate to afc://[device]/apps/org.videolan.vlc-ios/Documents 3. Try to copy a file into the directory OR try to rename an existing file OBSERVED RESULT Error: "Access denied. Could not write to afc://..." EXPECTED RESULT File is copied/renamed successfully SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (rolling) KDE Plasma Version: plasmashell 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Downgrading to KIO 6.18.0 resolves the issue - Creating new empty files works - Editing existing file contents works - Only rename and copy operations fail - Affects multiple app directories (tested with VLC and Brave) - libimobiledevice connection is working (ideviceinfo succeeds) - Device is trusted and unlocked
