fruitstrap

Install and debug iPhone apps without using Xcode. Designed to work on unjailbroken devices.

Requirements

• Mac OS X. Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks are tested.
• You need to have a valid iPhone development certificate installed.
• Xcode must be installed, along with the SDK for your iOS version. Xcode 5.0.2 and iOS SDK 7.0 are tested.

Usage

fruitstrap [-t/--timeout timeout(seconds)] [-v/--verbose] <command> [<args>]

Commands available:

• install [-i/--id device_id] -b/--bundle bundle.app [-a/--args arguments]: Install the specified app with optional arguments to the specified device, or all attached devices if none are specified.

• uninstall [-i/--id device_id] -b/--bundle bundle.app.id: Removed the specified bundle identifier (eg com.foo.MyApp) from the specified device, or all attached devices if none are specified.

• list-devices: List all attached devices.

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 uninstall will uninstall demo.app from 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.
