Is is possible to launch and debug one of my iOS apps in development on an iPhone (or other iOS device) without using Xcode?
I would like to do this from the command line using lldb.
I figure that since it can be done with Xcode that it may be possible to debug strictly from within the terminal.
ios-deploy can do that.
brew install node
npm install -g ios-deploy
ios-deploy -d -W -b path/to/foo.app
It will copy the app bundle to your connected device, launch the app, and start an lldb session for the app.
I just tested it right now. OSX 10.12.6, iOS 11.0.2, Xcode 9.0.1.
it is possible to debug your app without using xcode on a jailbroken device all you need is to add entitlements on debug server if you wish to debug apps you did not build , there is a great explanation here http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.php/Debugserver , once you attached to the process on the device just launch lldb on your computer and debug
