When trying to reboot macOS Catalina 10.15, I recently got the following message:
The Finder can’t quit because an operation is still in progress on an iOS device.
Try again after completing the operation.
My iPhone—which I have set up to do wifi syncing—wasn’t, and there was nothing I could find in the UI to fix it. Additionally, Googling the error message gave some results, but nothing that helped in my case.
The fix I found was to kill usbmuxd:
sudo killall -9 usbmuxd
After which I could reboot successfully.
