ios-deploy

Install and debug iOS apps without using Xcode. Designed to work on un-jailbroken devices.

This is a modification of phonegap/ios-deploy to use libimobiledevice for iOS device interface, rather than Apple's library, which is only available on Windows and OS X.

Requirements

Currently only tested on Linux Mint 17.1 with new builds of libimobiledevice, libplist, libusbmuxd, and usbmuxd.

Build

libimobiledevice-dev (version 1.2.0 recommended)
libplist

Extras

ideviceinstaller (optional, used for deploying apps)
ios-lldb* (optional, used for debugging apps)
DeveloperDiskImage.dmg (optional, needed for debugging)

*On non-Apple systems, ios-deploy will use 'ios-lldb' as a debugger. This should point to a build of LLDB that supports the 'remote-ios' platform.

Usage

Usage: ios-deploy [OPTION]...
  -d, --debug                  launch the app in GDB after installation
  -i, --id <device_id>         the id of the device to connect to
  -c, --detect                 only detect if the device is connected
  -b, --bundle <bundle.app>    the path to the app bundle to be installed
  -a, --args <args>            command line arguments to pass to the app when launching it
  -t, --timeout <timeout>      number of seconds to wait for a device to be connected
  -u, --unbuffered             don't buffer stdout
  -n, --nostart                do not start the app when debugging
  -I, --noninteractive         start in non interactive mode (quit when app crashes or exits)
  -L, --justlaunch             just launch the app and exit lldb
  -v, --verbose                enable verbose output
  -m, --noinstall              directly start debugging without app install (-d not required)
  -p, --port <number>          port used for device, default: 12345 
  -r, --uninstall              uninstall the app before install (do not use with -m; app cache and data are cleared) 
  -1, --bundle_id <bundle id>  specify bundle id for list and upload
  -l, --list                   list files
  -o, --upload <file>          upload file
  -w, --download               download app tree
  -2, --to <target pathname>   use together with up/download file/tree. specify target
  -V, --version                print the executable version

Examples

The commands below assume that you have an app called my.app with bundle id bundle.id. Substitute where necessary.

// deploy and debug your app to a connected device
ios-deploy --debug --bundle my.app

// deploy and launch your app to a connected device, but quit the debugger after
ios-deploy --justlaunch --debug --bundle my.app

// deploy and launch your app to a connected device, quit when app crashes or exits
ios-deploy --noninteractive --debug --bundle my.app

// Upload a file to your app's Documents folder
ios-deploy --bundle_id 'bundle.id' --upload test.txt --to Documents/test.txt

// Download your app's Documents, Library and tmp folders
ios-deploy --bundle_id 'bundle.id' --download --to MyDestinationFolder

// List the contents of your app's Documents, Library and tmp folders
ios-deploy --bundle_id 'bundle.id' --list

// deploy and debug your app to a connected device, uninstall the app first
ios-deploy --uninstall --debug --bundle my.app
