Using rvictl with iOS 27 beta3 doesn't work anymore. RVICTL reports a successful creation of the remote virtual interface, but the interface rvi0 fails to spawn. rvictl -s Starting device [SUCCEEDED] with interface rvi0 rvictl -l Could not get list of devices iPhone 16 pro iOS 27 Beta3 macOS 27 Xcode 27 beta Confirmed that the command still works on iOS 26.6 on an iPhone 15 Pro.

When using rvictl, I notice that it creates 2 interfaces. One of which establishes a link local connection between the iPhone and the Mac. What is this connection for? Why is it so talkative? and why can I only bring one of the created interfaces down but not the other? When I try to bring down the interfaces with the ifconfig enX down command it stops the DHCP requests and several TCP DUP ACK, but the other interface is persistent and will not stop talking. Can someone explain what type of traffic is being transmitted between the Mac and the iPhone?
