@youanden Simply cd
into the node-ios-device
directory and run:
npm build .
That will build the module for your current node version. With the above command you don't have to install node-gyp. node-gyp actually comes with npm.
If you change Node.js versions, you'll have to recompile. If you run make
, it will build node-ios-device
for all versions of Node.js and io.js. We have to actively maintain this as new Node versions come out. Sort of a pain.
With your change to ios-device.cpp
and the new binary built in the out
directory, you just need to run node test/test-device.js
to see your connected device's info which will include your new property. You can also run node test/test-trackDevices.js
and connect/disconect your device to watch it in realtime.
I should point out that node-ios-device uses MobileDevice which will list devices that are not physically connected but have enabled iTunes wifi sync. Think of it as a feature.
@cb1kenobi Awesome, worked perfectly. Thanks for the explanation!
Preface: I've worked with libimobiledevice before and went through a very painful polling technique using the binaries and command-line to check for new devices, attempt to pair, wait for the user to pair, then use ideviceinfo to get the raw properties, then parse, etc. This library looks like a god-send.
I've edited
ios-device.cpp
to add a property found inmobiledevice.h : InternationalMobileEquipmentIdentity
, and tried to enter the folder and do one of the following:npm install
node-gyp rebuild
npm rebuild
or from the project directory,npm rebuild
.Do I just have to edit the
ios-device.cpp
or is there some other location I need to edit before the return object has the added property?
