Current Behavior
If an iphone is connected wirelessly when capacitor does not detect it correctly. It was detecting it but showing a question mark instead of ID, and then crashing because "?" is not a valid ID. After i unpaired iphone and paired it again to see if the issue will persist, it stopped showing my iphone at all if its connected wirelessly. If wired then it detects and runs.

Hey @PavelMasuk, this should now work with #398 - released in native-run 2.0.3, and Capacitor 8.0.1 / 7.4.5. Also refer to these notes in the documentation https://capacitorjs.com/docs/ios#wireless-ios-devices
I'll be closing this issue. If you're still not able to run with an iOS device connected wirelessly, please post more information on the issues you're having. Thank you!
