ideviceinstaller --archive doesn't seem to work? #150

I'm trying to copy the files for a certain app from my iPad. The help page is unclear on what this --archive command does, but it sounds like it will create an archive from the container on device, so I tried...

% ideviceinstaller -l                           
CFBundleIdentifier, CFBundleVersion, CFBundleDisplayName
...
com.foo.Foo, "20", "Foo"
...
% ideviceinstaller -a com.foo.Foo                   
ERROR: Archive failed. Got error "UnknownCommand".

This feature has been abandoned by Apple with iOS 7 and doesn't work anymore. I should reflect this in the documentation/output of the app...
