fruitstrap

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

Requirements

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

Usage

  • fruitstrap [-d] <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 to your computer

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.

Issues

  • If the app is not compiled for the right iOS version, fruitstrap will succeed but the app will not run (eg. if your app is iOS 5+ only and the device is running iOS 4, fruitstrap runs and seems to copy the app to the device, but it does not appear in Springboard)
