ideviceinstaller hooks in Calabash device

[jmoody]

ATTN @krukow @TobiasRoikjer

My plan is to implement hooks for ideviceinstaller. If the ideviceinstaller command-line application is available, then we'll use it. If it is not, we'll raise an error.

Here are my various attempts at an API.

• https://github.com/calabash/luffa/blob/develop/lib/luffa/ios/ideviceinstaller.rb
• https://github.com/jmoody/briar/blob/develop/bin/briar_ideviceinstaller.rb

Each has their own peculiar problems. The luffa implementation is the 2nd pass.

@kamstrup mentioned this: https://github.com/blueboxsecurity/idevice

It is LGPL, which I think makes it unsuitable for us.

The long-term plan to provide instructions on how to implement hooks for other third-party installers.

@krukow

Unless you want these hooks in Calabash, we are going to provide an install_on_device method and instructions on how to override this method.

@jmoody I'm not sure what you're asking me to do here? why are they hooks? Are they not just regular methods - and if not in Calabash, then where are they?

RESOLVED: Device install_app_on_device will be abstract.
