Tether AIY to iPhone?

[msummers40]

Hi-
I'm fairly new to Raspberry Pi. I've gotten my AIY project to work and would like to tether it to my iPhone.
I've followed the instructions here:

...but when I get to the part about installing necessary software:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gvfs ipheth-utils libimobiledevice-utils gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse ifuse -y

...I get an error message that reads:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
E: The value 'jessie' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

I'm not sure what to do next. Does anyone have advice? I've done searches on the error message but didn't find a clear answer for how to address this.

Or, do you have experience connecting your AIY project to an iPhone?

I'm running the project on a Raspberry Pi 3.

Thanks, in advance.

E: The value 'jessie'....
Jessie is the new current version.

You may want to try: apt-get upgrade first

If not they may not have a release for this version and it may not be needed.

Have you tried connection the wifi to your iphone hotspot via the GUI? I know someone with an iphone and they did not have an issue.

I found with my android that it balked a bit on manual connection but when I let it auto connect after reboot of the pi it was fine. Occasional issues in desktop mode but worked when booted without HDMI connection and VNCd in.
Carriers are crafty about what they can detect and ban.
