I downloaded a released archive and here is what I have got:

ideviceinstaller.c: In function ‘main’:
ideviceinstaller.c:1058:4: error: passing argument 4 of ‘instproxy_install’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror]
instproxy_install(ipc, pkgname, client_opts, status_cb, NULL);
^
In file included from ideviceinstaller.c:45:0:
/usr/local/include/libimobiledevice/installation_proxy.h:234:19: note: expected ‘instproxy_status_cb_t’ but argument is of type ‘void (*)(const char *, void *, void *)’

The difference is in plist.h: typedef void *plist_t; which is different from const char *.
This is already fixed in git but the fix is not released, and the released code is broken.

The deployment works fine when the app is not installed, but if I try to install over the top of the current app the app will crash once opened.

Also is happing with fruitstrap so is possibly more of an iOS error more the libraries themselves but was just wondering if anybody had encountered the same issue or was able to look into it for me.

Hi,
I am trying to install ideviceinstaller using command :
brew install --HEAD ideviceinstaller

I am getting error as :

Please help...I am stuck with this

ipa files are in zip file format, and zip files are not required to list directories as individual entries. Because of the following four lines of code, ideviceinstaller rejects the ipa as invalid if the .app directory isn't listed individually:
https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ideviceinstaller/blob/master/src/ideviceinstaller.c#L245

Removing those four lines of code fixes the issue. Is there a case of an invalid ipa that those lines are catching?

Some zip implementations do not add directory entries by default, and some unzip implementations don't behave correctly if they are present. Those zip implementations that do list directories by default usually provide an option to do so (with the standard zip command line tool, the -D option will do this).

Thanks for all your work on this great tool!

I am using an iPhone 5S. The ideviceinstaller worked fine when the iOS version was 7.0.3

I just upgraded the iOS version on my device to 7.1 beta 1. And ideviceinstaller fails with the message "Could not start com.apple.mobile.installation_proxy!"

On looking at the device console log, i see:

Nov 19 20:35:29 10-1-30-218 lockdownd[25] : 001f4000 _send_message: Could not send secure message.
Nov 19 20:35:33 10-1-30-218 mobile_installation_proxy[109] : 00384000 accept_with_timeout: Timed out waiting for a connection
Nov 19 20:35:33 10-1-30-218 mobile_installation_proxy[109] : Could not check in with lockdown at 'xpc': 1

Unlike all the other idevice* commands, which use "-u UDID":

$ ideviceinfo --help | grep -i -- "^\s*-u"
-u, --udid UDID target specific device by its 40-digit device UDID

the deviceinstaller command uses "-U UDID":

$ ideviceinstaller --help | grep -i -- "^\s*-u"
-U, --udid UDID Target specific device by its 40-digit device UDID.
-u, --uninstall APPID   Uninstall app specified by APPID.

This is inconsistent and very error-prone, especially since ideviceinstaller treats:
$ ideviceinstaller -u 1324deadbeef...78 -i com.MyApp
as
$ ideviceinstaller --uninstall 1324deadbeef...78 --install com.MyApp
yet silently only handles the last "mode" command, as if it was given:
$ ideviceinstaller --install com.MyApp

Proposed fix:

1. Change "-u UDID" to mean "--udid UDID" (where UDID is a 40-char-hex)
2. Change "-U APPID" to mean "--uninstall APPID" (where APPID is not a 40-char hex)
3. For backwards compatibility, allow:
   "-U UDID" --> "--udid UDID" + print a deprecation warning to stderr
   "-u APPID" --> "--uninstall APPID" + print a deprecation warning to stderr
4. Fail if given multiple modes on the same command line.

I am using libimobiledevice in my iOS project. I upgrade my iphone 6sPlus to iOS 10.0 beta version. i fired ideviceinfo command from my mac and get the response : Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -5

Any one know about this error??

when i am trying to install my ipa through ideviceinstaller, there I am having the following error: Could not connect to lockdownd. Exiting.

please let me know if someone know's the solution!

I got an error like in issue #38 when use libzip-1.1.2.
But for libzip-0.11.2 there are no errors.

I installed ideviceinstaller using brew install --HEAD ideviceinstaller and I'm getting the wrong UDID returned. I get a list of UDIDs and I only have one device connected.
This is what I get
741c4f9a9c8c43bd5a42ca7c6b193d11f46c4fce

5ea052a6fd72d004232fd86da7bcec0a138b0472
The first one is the correct UDID.

After downloading numerous of downloading tools and other incomplete files in order to complete the installations of the idevicerestore, im now stuck at this part.
Can someone please tell me what to do or what to install ?

Ideviceinstaller on mac with latest version on YOSEMITE,IOS 8.2 seems to hang and the sys log show this msg below
com.apple.usbmuxd[17630]: SCEDeviceSocketCallback 0x1006027c0-libusbmuxd/org.libimobiledevice.usbmuxd remote peer closed connection for sce 0x1006027c0.

We are stuck that we cant install our app consistently through idevice. Please fix it.

ideviceinstaller keeps returning Segmentation fault: 11 whenever I try to install an .ipa (I've tried on an iPhone and an iPad, both running iOS 7).

Even the simple command ideviceinstaller -l gives this error. Sometimes a dialog appears on the device asking me if I want to trust the computer but clicking on 'Trust' doesn't solve the problem.

If I run idevicepair unpair and try again, sometimes, the output is Could not connect to lockdownd. Exiting. instead of the segmentation one.

I'm on Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2) and to install the tools I did:

brew install libimobiledevice
brew install ideviceinstaller

hey guys,

I updated my apple devices to IOS 8.3, and I'm not able to manage any app from Ubuntu since then...

Is it working and I'm doing something wrong ...or is no support yet?

the error I get is

Could not start com.apple.mobile.installation_proxy!

Thanks

any help pls?

Hi

I try archive app or app's docs_only
both restore fail on the same iphone4(iOS 7.1.2)

my goal is backup from one iphone app's data(such as line,what's app)
and restore to the other iphone
due to my destination iphone's capacity is small then source iphone
I can't just backup/restore to move iphone's data
so I separate the backup procedure and transfer data manually

command:
ideviceinstaller -a jp.naver.line -o docs_only -o copy=. -o remove
or
ideviceinstaller -a jp.naver.line -o copy=. -o remove
or
without "-o remove"
and
ideviceinstaller -r jp.naver.line (or jp.naver.line.ipa I also tried )

result:
Restore - Error occurred: APIInternalError

another try....
command:
ideviceinstaller -i jp.naver.line.ipa
result:
Unable to locate app directory in archive!

What is the right usage of ideviceinstaller restore( -r)??

Thanks

Hi,
My:

• Mac OS version: 10.11.6
• iPhone model: iPhone 6 Plus
• iOS version: 10.0.1
• ideviceinstaller: installed latest version at 22-Sep-2016
• Xcode version: 7.3.1

I tried to use ideviceinstaller command to install IPA file to my target iPhone, and get a error:

Could not connect to lockdownd. Exiting.

and then I googled and found some solution from ideviceinstall's github issue list, and the solution is changed the privileges of directory /var/db/lockdown to 777 by command:

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/db/lockdown/

after the privilege changed command run, I still gets Could not connect to lockdownd error message.

and then I tried run ideviceinstaller IPA installation command to a iPhone with iOS 9.3.2, and the installation was succeeded.

could you kindly help to provide some solution to fix ideviceinstaller installation command to iOS 10 released version?

Thanks.

I use the cmd archive a ipa package! there has a problem,
the -o docs_only cmd is invalid.

ideviceinstaller -a com.tongbu.tuihd.LWC432R5KJ -o docs_only

but the result has no documents!

Please add this option. It's necessary to hide app from appstore updates. To avoid accidentally update the application.

the following before building:

    make depend

Configured for darwin64-x86_64-cc.
==> make depend

Any ideas on what may be happening here?

Hey,

I'm running a Linux machine and installed ideviceinstaller. The device is an iPhone 5S on iOS 8. But when I try to run the command gives me this error code: Could not connect to lockdownd. Exiting.

Any idea how I can fix this?

I installed ideviceinstaller with apt-get install and I can't execute any command. Do I really have to build it from source to make it work?

with itunes you can ask for "Transfer purchases" while backing up your device. then when you restore to a new device it also restores the applications (the "purchases").

how this can be done with the libimobiledevice tools?

In iOS 8.4.1 (non-jb), I am able to install, remove, and archive apps with no issues using ideviceinstaller from an OS X Mavericks box. In iOS 9 beta 5, I can still install and remove, but am having issues with archival.

$ ideviceinstaller -a com.activision.gw3.dimensions -o copy=iphone/
ERROR: Archive failed. Got error "UnknownCommand".

Checking idevicesyslog gives the following:

Sep  3 16:12:26 IOS9-test-device mobile_installation_proxy[190] <Error>: 0x16e1bb000 handle_connection: Unknown command

Is this expected at this point, or do you have any ideas on what may be causing this issue?

Thanks!

Hello

Please help me
I can't install .ipa file

I'm alway getting:
ideviceinstaller -d -i $HOME/build/MyApp.ipa
WARNING: could not locate iTunesMetadata.plist in archive!
WARNING: could not locate Payload/DISH.app/Info.plist in archive!

before iOS 10 this command worked great

Thanks

I lived with libimobiledevice/ideviceinstaller with no issues for 2 years. But 2 days ago I upgraded to OSX 10.11.6 (in order to install Xcode 8 GM) and now I always get

ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -21
alexanders-mbp:Android Alex$ ideviceinfo
ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -19
alexanders-mbp:Android Alex$ ideviceinfo
ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -21
alexanders-mbp:Android Alex$

If I unplug device and then plug back, I'll get "trust/don't trust" dialog when libimobiledevice/ideviceinstaller. Choosing "Trust" doesn't help.
I tried:

• reboot, of course
• downgrade Xcode to 7.3
• uninstall/install libimobiledevice/ideviceinstaller (even using --HEAD)

At the same time I can install apps using XCode successfully.

I installed ideviceinstaller v1.1.0 on MacOSX 10.11.5 Beta (15F24b).
After plug in and out some iOS devices, idevice_id -l would list some non existing iOS device. Now no iOS devices are pluged in, but the command returned two udid.
Anyone know why?

I found that system_profiler SPUSBDataType | sed -n -E -e '/(iPhone|iPad|iPod)/,/Serial/s/ *Serial Number: *(.+)/\1/p' is more accute for attached iOS devices

1. Build the newest version of idevicebackup2you can use linux or winndows(mingw)
2. Run idevicebackup2 -d -i backup --full c:\backup
3. Backup completes without issue
4. try to unback idevicebackup2 -d -i unback c:\backup

Expected results:
the unback command is able to fully extract the backup

Actual results:
The backup will extract com.apple.Maps however, after that it starts to display "Device is not ready yet. Going to try again in 2 seconds..."

hi, something awkward happended.
when I run 'ideviceinstaller -u -i wzry.ipa' in my terminal, log shows below:

WARNING: could not locate iTunesMetadata.plist in archive!
WARNING: could not locate Payload/wzry.app/SC_Info/wzry.sinf in archive!

what does AFC error code 30 stand for? how can I solve this?
Thanks in advance

ideviceinstaller doesn't archive application's container with Documents/Library folders, like it did on iOS6 & iOS7. On iOS8 the archive contains application's bundle only.

console log contains the following related information:

Here is the error, when I build libimobiledevice.

ideviceinstaller.c:910:20: error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Werror=sign-compare] while (zfsize < zs.size) {

When I try to use ideviceinstaller, the command fails with the following error message:
"Could not connect to lockdownd. Exiting."

Example commands:
ideviceinstaller -l
ideviceinstaller -i Something.ipa

I have googled more than an hour to find the solution, however nothing worked for me:

• Reinstall ideviceinstaller
• Reinstall libimobiledevice
• Reinstall brew and reinstall again both ideviceinstaller, libimobiledevice

It works only if I use sudo but it's unfortunately not acceptable in my case.

System paramereters:
MacBookPro with 10.11.5 OSX El Capitan
Target devices: iPhone 5, iPad 2

Note:
I have installed both Xcode 7.3.1 and Xcode 8 beta 3 on my computer. And used these commands to switch between them:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/

Hello,
When I try to install ideviceinstaller with this command:
brew install --HEAD ideviceinstaller
I have an error:

==> Cloning http://git.sukimashita.com/ideviceinstaller.git
Cloning into '/Users/myaccount/Library/Caches/Homebrew/ideviceinstaller--git'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://git.sukimashita.com/ideviceinstaller.git/': SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain
Error: Failed to download resource "ideviceinstaller"
Failure while executing: git clone --branch master http://git.sukimashita.com/ideviceinstaller.git /Users/elerouge/Library/Caches/Homebrew/ideviceinstaller--git

I can install it without --HEAD, like this : brew install ideviceinstaller and install is ok, but because I have trouble with it and I read on this forum that installing with --HEAD can resolve it, I want to try.
How can I resolve it ? Thanks.

I am having 2 machines, one with Yosemite and one with mavericks. I have installed ideviceinstaller by using "brew install ideviceinstaller" and it have beeen installed successfully on both machines. Now i have connected iOS 7 device with each of them, and tried to list all apps on device, install app on device, archieve app. In all cases, it have worked in mavericks perfectly. But for yosemite, it always says "Segmentation fault: 11".

Is there any problem with ideviceinstaller on yosemite?

Hi, when I git clone stable ideviceinstall.git and compile it. Compiler shows error as followings:

ideviceinstaller.c:795:12: error: ignoring return value of ‘asprintf’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]

I temporarily wrap asprintf inside if statement as follows:
//asprintf(&pkgname, "%s/%s", PKG_PATH, basename(appid)); //line 795
if(asprintf(&pkgname, "%s/%s", PKG_PATH, basename(appid))<0){
fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: print to allocate pkgname\n");
goto leave_cleanup;
}

After modification is made, "Make" does not complain at all.
Don't know which response is appropriate. Please advice.

Thanks!

I got this command to work once:

ideviceinstaller -a com.tencent.xin -o copy=$PWD -o remove

Second time it fails:

Archive - TakingInstallLock (0%)
Archive - EmptyingApplication (2%)
Archive - ArchivingApplication (3%)
Archive - ArchivingApplication (4%)
Archive - ArchivingApplication (5%)
Archive - Error occurred: APIInternalError

Also -R to clean up fails too, RemoveArchive - Error occurred: APIInternalError, immediately.

I know the error check was not there before ab04a35 but what is the actual error that causes the problem? APIInternalError is not very descriptive. -d does not help either.

Often, I find an ideviceinstaller command will complete successfully, with an exit code of 0, throwing no errors, but the logged output on stdout does not include all the status lines.

MBP:~ me$ ideviceinstaller -u "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -i "/Users/me/Documents/iOS/App Test/Debug-iphoneos/App Test.app"

MBP:~ me$ echo $?

The exact line at which event logging stops seems to vary as well, and I have noticed it happening anywhere between 20% and 90%, though the command succeeds, and the app is successfully installed, in all cases.

This is a problem for the node.js package node-idevice, and anything that depends on it (like Appium), as node-idevice verifies successful app installation based on the logging of the - Complete line to stdout.

Note: I am using a Mac Mini, running OS X 10.11.4.

Hey,

does someone know if it's possible to remove the gray app placeholders with ideviceinstaller or one of it's other tools which can occure if something went wrong during the app download? If it's not possible does someone know a method how I can do this via ssh on the device? It's necessary for me to automate this task.
