Nativescript-cli: IOS tns run IOS failing on real device

Created on 22 Oct 2017 · 8Comments · Source: NativeScript/nativescript-cli

Dear friend, we, the rest of the NativeScript community really
appreciate your feedback! While we are doing all we can to take care of every
issue, sometimes we get overwhelmed. Because of that, we will consider issues
that are not constructive or problems that cannot be reproduced "dead".
Additionally, we will treat feature requests or bug reports with unanswered
questions regarding the behavior/reproduction for more than 20 days "dead". All
"dead" issues will get closed.

Please, provide the details below:

Did you verify this is a real problem by searching Stack Overflow and the other open issues in this repo?

Yes

Tell us about the problem

Please, ensure your title is less than 63 characters long and starts with a capital
letter.

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

only on iOS with a real device . Runs fine on android and with the IOS emulator.

Please provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

CLI: 3.2.1
Cross-platform modules: 3.2.0
Runtime(s):
Plugin(s): (look for the version number in the package.json file of your
project)
3.2.0

The project builds and runs fine on the emulator, but when I try tns run ios with a real device connected it fails with the error shown below:

Hi @anuragd7

In order to run or device application should be signed and this is what fails.
There are two options to configure it:

Automatic signing

Set TEAM_ID in build.xcconfig file or pass it as argument:
tns run ios --team-id <TEAM_ID>

Manual signing

It can not be specified in config file and you should pass it as argument:
tns run ios --provisioning <PROVISIONING PROFILE>

You can list availalbe provisining profiles and teams on yhour machine when you leave --provisining empty, for example:
`tns build ios --release --for-device --provision

Hi @dtopuzov
Thanks for your response. I tried your suggestions and ran into the following issues.

Automatic Signing
When I run tns run ios --team-id <TEAM_ID> I get the following error

Please tell me what I need to do differently. Thanks

I deleted all old profiles from the developer portal and recreated them. I then added them to the keychain. Now I am able to run the project from the command line.

I have the same exact error. Unfortunately deleting the certs and re-adding them did not work

Seeing the same problem here. Please reopen this issue

Explicitly naming the provisioning profile on the build does NOT solve the issue. Also deleting the provisioning profiles in Library > MobileDevice > Provisioning Profiles and all the certificates associated with the project in the keychain then re-creating them did NOT work either. After much trial and error I have found how to resolve this issue.

Try these two things:
(1)

npm uninstall ios-device-lib adb --save
tns platform remove ios
tns platform add ios
tns run ios

(2)
If one does not solve the issue then go to

node_modules > nativescript > node_modules >ios-device-lib . Delete this directory

node_modules > nativescript > lib > common > resources > platform-tools > android .

Inside this folder there should be 3 folders with each containing an adb.exe. Delete the exe in each.
tns run ios

@dtopuzov What I don't understand is why are we getting android debug bridge errors when I am trying to run my iOS project?

TimHawkHodg on 16 Jan 2018

Hey @TimHawkHodg ,

I'm copying my answer from here for reference:

The problem is that you have nativescript as dependency of your project. The nativescript package is the CLI itself and it should not be included in your NativeScript application. The CLI should be installed globally (npm install -g nativescript). It looks like, you've missed the -g part at some point and that's why you have the package included in your project.
In order to resolve the issue, just execute npm uninstall --save nativescript in your project dir. This way ios-device-lib and adb will be removed from your project.

As per your last question - whenever you try building your NativeScript application for iOS , CLI analyzes your dependencies and includes them in the native Xcode project. In your case this includes all CLI dependencies (like ios-device-lib, adb, etc.). These are binaries, and as I've explained in my previous answer, Xcode tries to codesign them.

Can you please try the suggested solution and see if it works for you?
