fruitstrap

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

Requirements

Mac OS X. Tested on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You need to have a valid iPhone development certificate installed (or at least a correctly signed iOS app).
Xcode must be installed, along with the SDK for your iOS version.

Install

make install_os will compile and install fruitstrap to /usr/local/bin

Usage

fruitstrap [-d/--debug] [-i/--id device_id] -b/--bundle <app> [-a/--args arguments] [-t/--timeout timeout(seconds)] [-u/--unbuffered] [-g/--gdbargs gdb_arguments]

<app> must be an iPhone application bundle, not an IPA.
Optional -d flag launches a remote GDB session after the app has been installed.
Optional device id, useful when you have more than one iPhone/iPad connected to your computer
<arguments> are passed as argv to the running app.
<gdb_arguments> are passed to gdb.

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: Removed the specified bundle identifier (eg com.foo.MyApp) from the specified device, or all attached devices if none are specified.
