…ore data to enable incremental installs.
…the path to the status only occurs during incremental installs

What versions of Xcode has this been tested on? Since this is a fully optional new feature supporting Xcode 11 only it fine, but it would be great to document here what versions this is known to work on. |

This PR will resolve #379 |
This was tested on Xcode 11.1 and Xcode 11.2.1. but should work with any Xcode version that includes the AMDeviceSecureInstallApplicationBundle() function which there are references to back to October 2014 (Xcode 6) based on a Google search. The internals may have changed but presumably if this function was used in previous Xcode versions to deploy, then it will probably work here as well. |
…ore data to enable incremental installs. (ios-control#434) * Add --app_deltas option that can be used to specify a directory to store data to enable incremental installs. * Fixed the location of the getopts string and ensured adding appening the path to the status only occurs during incremental installs * Updated to use CF over NS types. * Resolve comments. * Apply realpath to the app delta path.
This change will leave the standard install as the default option and have no affect on standard installs. Incremental installs needs to be enabled by passing the "--app_deltas" (-A) flag as well as a path to a directory where the mobile device framework will store what it needs to determine what needs has actually changed on a subsequent install.
