fail to launch process sometimes

[viewrain]

Hi, guys:
idevice-app-runner is a great tool for me to invoke my app by command line!

 But I found that it failed to launch the process sometimes. The application was opened, but hanged there and exited later. The system log in console was like this:

Oct 29 19:37:29 USMTV-iPhone4-iOS6 kernel[0] : lockbot[13554] Builtin profile: debugserver (sandbox)
Oct 29 19:37:29 USMTV-iPhone4-iOS6 com.apple.debugserver-189[13569] : Connecting to com.apple.debugserver service...

Oct 29 19:37:35 USMTV-iPhone4-iOS6 com.apple.debugserver-189[13569] : error: failed to launch process (null): unknown error.

 After I saw the error, I killed  "idevice-app-runner" command and ran again, it worked again.    

Anyone encountered the same problem before?

Is it possible to add a retry_num flag, so that it will retry to launch the process if it's failed for the first time?

Thanks a lot!
Yu

Hi Yu,

First of all, sorry for late reply. I'm glad that you find the tool useful.

I don't remember having this problem.

As a workaround you could write shell script which starts idevice-app-runner and idevicesyslog in parallel. It then parses idevicesyslog output for error string you noticed. When/if it finds the error message it should restart idevice-app-runner. Messy but it could be acceptable.

If you need help writing this shell script - tell me.

Regards!

That's what I have done :)

Thank you so much for this useful tool and the advice~
