ios-deploy
==========
Install and debug iPhone apps without using Xcode. Designed to work on unjailbroken devices.

## Requirements

* Mac OS X. Tested on Snow Leopard only.
* You need to have a valid iPhone development certificate installed.
* Xcode must be installed, along with the SDK for your iOS version.

## Usage

* `ios-deploy [-d] -b <app> [device_id]`
* Optional `-d` flag launches a remote GDB session after the app has been installed.
* `<app>` must be an iPhone application bundle, *not* an IPA.
* Optional `device_id`; useful when you have more than one iPhone/iPad connected.

## Demo

* The included demo.app represents the minimum required to get code running on iOS.
* `make install` will install demo.app to the device.
* `make debug` will install demo.app and launch a GDB session.

## Notes

* With some modifications, it may be possible to use this without Xcode installed; however, you would need a copy of the relevant DeveloperDiskImage.dmg (included with Xcode). GDB would also run slower as symbols would be downloaded from the device on-the-fly.


## Listing Device Ids

Device Ids are the UDIDs of the iOS devices. From the command line, you can list device ids [this way](http://javierhz.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-get-udid-of-iphone-using-shell.html):

        system_profiler SPUSBDataType | sed -n -e '/iPad/,/Serial/p' -e '/iPhone/,/Serial/p' | grep "Serial Number:" | awk -F ": " '{print $2}'
