Full disclosure: I have no idea what I am doing. I have no programming experience. I’ve asked ChatGPT to create a program for me. One of the files ChatGPT created for me is named ‘device_detection.py.’ This specific file is supposed to detect smartphone devices that are connected to my laptop via USB port, and then print the results in the terminal. This would be fine (and was working perfectly!) if that was all I needed. However, I want to incorporate a feature in program that detects when an iOS Apple smartphone device is unlocked (which I understand can be problematic debugging in a Windows environment). When I run this file, I am getting an error:

Error accessing device: Can’t instantiate abstract class LockdownClient without an implementation for abstract method ‘_create_service_connection’

I have no idea what this means and have tried to ask ChatGPT and even read the documentation to no avail. Could someone please help with this? Here is the ‘device_detection.py’ file for reference (I can attach my ‘main.py’ file if needed for additional context).
