fruitstrap

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

Requirements

• Mac OS X. Tested on Snow Leopard only.
• 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] -b <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.

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.
