Command Line Launcher for the iPhone Simulator

WARNING: This project is no longer supported. Please check out http://github.com/appcelerator/ioslib for replacement that works with the latest XCode.

ios-sim

The ios-sim tool is a command-line utility that launches an iOS application on the iOS Simulator. This allows for niceties such as automated testing without having to open XCode.

This fork fixes a dynamic loading problem when running Xcode 4.3. To use:

1. Download the ios-sim-xcode43.tar.gz file from the Download section above.
2. Extract the ios-sim executable and copy it to TITANIUM_HOME/mobilesdk/osx/1.8.1/iphone/ios-sim.
3. Make sure you have run "sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" to set the new path to the developer tools.

Clean your build directory and rebuild!

Features

• Choose the device family to simulate, i.e. iPhone or iPad.
• Setup environment variables.
• Pass arguments to the application.
• See the stdout and stderr, or redirect them to files.

See the --help option for more info.

Installation

Through homebrew:

$ brew install ios-sim

Download an archive:

$ curl -L https://github.com/Fingertips/ios-sim/zipball/1.3 -o ios-sim-1.3.zip
$ unzip ios-sim-1.3.zip

Or from a git clone:

$ git clone git://github.com/Fingertips/ios-sim.git

Then build and install from the source root:

$ rake install prefix=/usr/local/

你好，我想了解下iPhone越狱代码

stderr redirection?

is there a way to redirect stderr? for instance to see the output of NSLog & friends? This is how I tried starting iphonesime to redirect stderr (pseudocode):

fork do

we're in child

stderr = "some file"
exec "iphonesim launch myapp.app"

this does not work... well, it works for the iphonesim executable (stderr for iphonesim is correctly redirected to the file), but not for myapp.app... so I can't see the output of NSLog on the console. I have to check system.log (using Console.app) to see the debug output...

Session could not be started

This might very well be because I'm using the 4.0 SDK, but until I've been able to figure it out myself, I thought I'd file a ticket. I'm using the current HEAD version of iphonesim. This is the output:

% ./vendor/iphonesim launch ./build/Debug-iphonesimulator/UISpecs.app
[DEBUG] App Spec:  specified by path ./build/Debug-iphonesimulator/UISpecs.app
[DEBUG] SDK Root:  path=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator4.0.sdk version=4.0 name=Simulator - iPhone OS 4.0

$ brew install ios-sim

Does not work with xCode 4.3 and newer

Since xCode 4.3 Apple has changed its location to /Applications/Xcode.app
Due to those changes I'm unable to use the "iphonesim" tool (see the log below).

Please update your code base to keep up with the latest xCode.

Overwrite previous resouces while installing

If I install same application second time with additional resources in it then the new resources are merged in the resulting app file.
I dont want to merge but overwrite the resources.

Is there any arguments that I can specify in setSimulatedApplicationLaunchArgs or other methods , which would allow me to do so?
Or is there any provision in "iPhoneSimulatorRemoteClient" framework?
Thanks in advance.

Can't get iphonesim to report failure

I'm calling exit(1) from my iPhone app but session:didEndWithError: always has a null NSError? I need to have a non-zero exit code from my app return EXIT_FAILURE from iphonesim.

Locked Xcode from using simulator until restart

After starting an application through iPhoneism and quitting the simulator, Xcode complained that the simulator was in use.
The only way to remedy this was to restart my mac.

Will it be better than before?
