Emulating USB device for SmartCardServices about foohid HOT 3 OPEN

Hi, HID protocol works at a different layer in respect to USB. Honestly i do not know if there is a HID standard for smartcards :(

from foohid.

Yes, HID is not for smart cards (there is USB CCID for that). But to trigger SmartCardServices it's possible to use any physical USB device, only the vendor and product IDs need to be listed in the driver's Info.plist. For example, I've already successfully configured my driver to be started when connecting a smartphone via USB. The type of device didn't matter (mass storage in case of the phone), only the vendor and product IDs of the phone needed to match the driver's Info.plist.

So again, the question whether you know why a virtual foohid device is not listed with ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0)?

Because it is not a usb device or host. It register itself in the HID framework not the USB one
