Could not launch the app on Device using .ipa file

[kiran]

Hello,

I tried launching .Ipa file on my Iphone and I'm getting the below error. This is the first time i tried on IPA file. Using .app file, I have no issues. Am i passing correct server parameters ?Please help me in this regard. 

Error details: 

You specified a UDID and ipa but did not include the bundle id

info: Cleaning up appium session

error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: You specified a UDID and ipa but did not include the bundle id

info: Responding to client with error: {"status":33,"value":{"message":"A new session could not be created. (Original error: You specified a UDID and ipa but did not include the bundle id)","origValue":"You specified a UDID and ipa but did not include the bundle id"},"sessionId":null}

Here are the server parameters that i had used:

appium -U a39937e0ea4b2b2f66c200d25ca9667b0456d153 --ipa /Users/kiran/Downloads/Thatcher/ProwessiOS-1.0.ipa --app com.thatcher.prowess.alliance --port 4723

Desired Capabilities that I've set:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "iOS");

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "6.0");    

        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Mac");

capabilities.setCapability("app","/Users/kiran/Downloads/Thatcher/ProwessiOS-1.0.ipa");

wd = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),

capabilities);

Regards,

Kiran

Right now the way to to do this is:

- pass bundle id of app in via 'app'

- use --ipa server flag to pass in ipa path

what's your system configuration? maybe libimobiledevice isn't working for your system.

to work around this, install and configure ideviceinstaller and put it on your PATH; appium will then use that rather than its built-in ideviceinstaller, which looks like it's not working.

[kiran]

Thank you very much Jonathan for your guidance. I installed libimobiledevice and was able to launch the app on my device. but suddenly the app closes giving the below error. 

I understand that the app needs to be signed by developer. But I have received the .ipa file from the development team with valid provisional certificate and got it installed on my Iphone but still, im getting this error. Could you please suggest if need to check for any specific provisioning profile so that i can talk with my dev team.

is it a provisioning profile you have installed in xcode?

[kiran]

No, the profile is installed on my device. 

Sent from my iPad

[Jonathan Lipps]

Dunno then. You might want to follow up with apple support since the error is coming from Instruments.

[kiran]

Thank you very much Jonathan for your support.The issue was with the profile that I had installed is a distribution profile and finally got the developer profile installed and I'm able to run appium tests on the device :)

Nithika is your device detected by your mac,? Does the ipa have a valid developer prifile?

 From xode » instruments check if the device is detected and perform a basic recording on the app that u installed. if. U r able to record Your device is good for runnint appium tests  Talk tour dev team to get this done

Share the desired capabilities that u have configured
