Any Apple Engineers out there who wrote this error message?

DeviceLinkListener.c:_copyMobileDeviceValue| ERROR: Attempt to copy a value from an unpaired device. Cowardly refusing to do so

ERROR: .... Cowardly refusing to do so

Any thoughts?

I click on 'trust this computer' (on the iPhone) and the error is triggered.

I've discovered that it is only that iPhone, I tried installing 18 on iPads and iPhones some that were already in my Dev devices, some that weren't and all work. So will now investigate whether this phone has no profiles on it, and why it has no profiles on it. But I still wish that the engineer who wrote that error would put their hand up and tell us more about what triggers it.
