Rust MTP: Bypassing macOS Incompatibilities with a Custom Protocol Stack

libmtp's standard C implementation fails on macOS due to conflicts with IOKit's USB ownership model, making it unreliable for production applications. By building a custom MTP stack in Rust using the nusb library, developers gain full control over protocol behavior and can implement advanced features like smart resume and parallel transfers. This approach represents a practical solution for Mac-focused applications requiring robust file transfer capabilities.
