I ran into similar issues on a mostly stock Ubuntu 24. When I start the gtk app, it has a scan devices button but it never finds my phone even though I've paired via bluetooth and its on same LAN. The iOS app just has a spinning icon that goes forever even though it sees my computer name in the 'discovered devices' list. I tried pairing from CLI and GTK app and no go on Wifi or Bluetooth. | ||

I gave it another go with the hint above about the tetherd log:
I killed that persistent process (sudo killall), rm /run/user/1000/tether/tetherd.* (to clear the lock file), restarted tetherd after pairing to phone via Linux bluetooth settings.I was then able to see and pair over wifi and bluetooth. Everything is enabled except Notifications (even though both address book sync + notifications are enabled in iOS bluetooth settings). Clipboard sync working now as well as send/receive files. The tether app still has occasional issues re-connecting to tether though when I move in and out of the app. | ||
