In response to a question on Reddit, I documented the following steps to sync metadata (in this case favorites and albums, though you can also sync title, keywords, and description) from the iPhone to the Mac. This is documented in the help for the osxphotos sync command but the following provides more detailed steps:
Plug the phone in to the Mac via a USB cable. If prompted, select "Trust this device"
Start iMazing
Expand the iPhone icon in the left panel in the iMazing window
Scroll down and selectFile System from the list in the left panel under the iPhone icon
Open the Media folder
Open the PhotoData folder
Find the file Photos.sqlite and copy it to your Mac by dragging it from the iMazing window. There may also be files named Photos.sqlite-shm and Photos.sqlite-wal in the same folder. Copy these as well.
