Why not just: From the iTunes menu at the top go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Check the box at the bottom of that window.
or Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 1

@niklausgerber doesn’t itunes still launch when you plug in?
@niklausgerber Hey Niklaus, regarding the setting you mention, this is the first thing mentioned in the announcement post linked - there can be many reasons on why iTunes would launch itself, here are some examples:
- You click the play/pause key while listening to a web-based music player (e.g. SoundCloud, YouTube)
- Someone sent you a link to an iOS app
- You click on a link on the web, and didn’t expect it to be a Music link
- You updated iTunes
- You launch iTunes by clicking on the icon by mistake
- You open a video/music file in Finder, and forgot to change the default app to VLC
- You connect Bluetooth headphones
@androidlove overkill can kill any app, all the time :)

After the seventieth time that a meeting screenshare transitioned into my awkward explanation for why I as a grown adult without children had purchased so many Pixar movies and Sandra Bullock rom-coms, my computer was in danger of incidental "snapping-in-half" as a result of "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F***, ITUNES?-related rage". After a useless encounter with support, and an even less useful attempt to sort through their knowledge base, I was dangerously close to trying my tech-inept hand at terminal commands that were sure to solve the problem, probably by ensuring that my machine would never run any applications ever.
Instead, found this app and in less than 3 minutes, problem solved, peace restored, and embarrassing iTunes library forever hidden from work meetings. Creators are angels and heroes.
JAH BLESS.
Pros:
Does exactly what it says, and you don't have to mess around with terminal commands or wonky workarounds.
