As per instructions , I have build TestApp-iphoneos.app and try to install on real device but getting below error

error: Could not pre-launch appium: Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c ideviceinstaller -u 6930e9e68d8fe637f29a39768f1b846a72805a96 -i /Users/vikram-anna/Documents/workspace/ios-test-app/build/Release-iphoneos/TestApp-iphoneos.app

Got error "ApplicationVerificationFailed" with code 0xe8008015: Failed to verify code signature of /private/var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.XCFbTf/extracted/TestApp-iphoneos.app : 0xe8008015 (A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.) 

U can't install .app on device u need to build ipa debug build with dev certificate

@saikrishna321 Per Readme "Building" section of this project , I assumed it should be taken care.

Isn't this project meant to be used by all , just create ipa file with npm and use it for automation ?

@vikramvi u can build and create ipa file but it shuld be with your dev profile which includes provision profile with the device UDID which u want to install

You will still need a valid provisioning profile to be able to build it and install it for a real device.

@imurchie pls close this

@imurchie I feel Readme needs more information about this , otherwise for new comer it's quite confusing.
We can keep it open till Read me has got more details and close later IMHO
