Application not updated

[krstns]

Hello,

I'm using ios-deploy to deploy my app, but it will never update my existing app. I have to remove the app prior running ios-deploy.
I haven't seen any option to update the app, this is how I'm using it:

ios-deploy -d `system_profiler SPUSBDataType | sed -n -e '/iPad/,/Serial/p' -e '/iPhone/,/Serial/p' | grep "Serial Number:" | awk -F ": " '{print $2}' | head -n 1` -b `ls -t builds/App*ipa | head -n 1` -v

I made sure that the file is correct, I can see console logs from the device, but there are no errors there. The same line fired when I remove the app manually from the device will update it fine.

iOS 6.1.4

You don't need that massive command to get the first connected device. It will use the first device by default.
In any case, -d doesn't do anything. The option to select a device is -i / --id.

Try with the latest 1.0.6 version

@shazron sorry, it still does not update the application

hi shazron, I also meet the same question on iOS7.I use ios-deploy to reinstall the IPA to my idevice, but the app don't update, the process of install is success and no any error.
Could you give me some suggestion?

[shazron]

Hi,
Please try with the latest version that has an --uninstall option. This uninstalls then installs the app. See the README.

[krstns]

I will give it a try, however with uninstall option, it sounds to me that all app data will be wiped, which means I would have to reupload it somehow.

[shazron]

Hi, with PR #42 there is an option to upload files (test data) with ios-deploy now. See the help for usage.
(not in the README yet)

Usage: ./ios-deploy [OPTION]...
  -d, --debug                  launch the app in GDB after installation
  -i, --id <device_id>         the id of the device to connect to
  -c, --detect                 only detect if the device is connected
  -b, --bundle <bundle.app>    the path to the app bundle to be installed
  -a, --args <args>            command line arguments to pass to the app when launching it
  -t, --timeout <timeout>      number of seconds to wait for a device to be connected
  -u, --unbuffered             don't buffer stdout
  -g, --gdbargs <args>         extra arguments to pass to GDB when starting the debugger
  -x, --gdbexec <file>         GDB commands script file
  -n, --nostart                do not start the app when debugging
  -I, --noninteractive         start in non interactive mode (quit when app crashes or exits)
  -v, --verbose                enable verbose output
  -m, --noinstall              directly start debugging without app install (-d not required)
  -p, --port <number>          port used for device, default: 12345 
  -r, --uninstall              uninstall the app before install (do not use with -m; app cache and data are cleared) 
  -1, --bundle_id <bundle id>  specify bundle id for list and upload
  -l, --list                   list files
  -o, --upload <file>          upload file

shazron,
so the only thing we are missing now is a download option, so we could download existing data and upload it back.
It starts to look better!

Thanks

[shazron]

Maybe @neoalienson can comment about whether it's possible to download items?

[shazron]

Download option is already there.
