Changing kIOMainPortDefault to just 0 should work. Hoping to test and submit PR, but documenting it for now.

Of course after hitting submit I realize that all they're really doing is renaming kIOMasterPortDefault to kIOMainPortDefault. (Master to Main)

Option 1

Switch kIOMasterPortDefault to kIOMainPortDefault but kIOMainPortDefault will only work with macOS 12+ unless we do something like libusb/hidapi#377 (comment)

#if (MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED < 120000) // Before macOS 12 Monterey
  #define kIOMainPortDefault kIOMasterPortDefault
#endif

Option 2

When specifying a primary port to IOKit functions, the NULL argument indicates "use the default". This is a synonym for NULL, if you'd rather use a named constant.

kIOMasterPortDefault and kIOMainPortDefault are just synonyms for NULL, which is just 0 in C++. So, change kIOMasterPortDefault to 0 and not care about which version of macOS/Xcode we're compiling for/on.

Hi. With the objective to enter an iPad in DFU mode, I tried to compile the project and I encounter the same error about kIOMasterPortDefault. Is the modification suggested to replace the word "kIOMasterPortDefault" to "0" 2 times in the main.cpp file ?
