Can't upload iOS app to the device with mtouch #10374

Closed rotanov closed 3 years ago

rotanov commented 3 years ago

Steps to Reproduce

We executed mtouch from internal tool to upload bulds to the device. It stopped working a couple of years ago but people just stopped using tool and started doing builds with VS. I tried to fix it, so what changed is mtouch location. From /Developer/MonoTouch/usr/bin/mtouch to /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Current/bin/mtouch I'm not sure if this was mentioned in change logs of Xamarin.iOS.

  1. /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Current/bin/mtouch --sdkroot=/Applications/Xcode.app --installdev=<path_to_app>

A target framework (--target-framework) must be specified

It's not clear how do I get the list of possible target frameworks and the syntax.

And not mentioned here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/mtouch#deploying-to-a-device or here http://docs.go-mono.com/?link=man%3amtouch(1) (which first link refers to as reference for mtouch)

Trying to guess the arguments:

  1. /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Current/bin/mtouch --sdkroot=/Applications/Xcode.app --installdev=<path_to_app> --target-framework

Missing required value for option...

Trying to guess further:

  1. /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Current/bin/mtouch --sdkroot=/Applications/Xcode.app --installdev=<path_to_app> --target-framework=Xamarin.iOS

Invalid value.

Trying to guess further:

  1. /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Current/bin/mtouch --sdkroot=/Applications/Xcode.app --installdev=<path_to_app> --target-framework=Xamarin.iOS,v14.6.0.15

Invalid target framework: Xamarin.iOS,v14.6.0.15. Valid target frameworks are: Xamarin.iOS,Version=v1.0, Xamarin.WatchOS,Version=v1.0, Xamarin.TVOS,Version=v1.0, .NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0,Profile=ios, .NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0,Profile=tvos, .NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0,Profile=watchos

I've got the list of possible values. Though it's strange that Xamarin.iOS is still v1.0. I thought it's v14.6.0.15. Whatever.

  1. /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Current/bin/mtouch --sdkroot=/Applications/Xcode.app --installdev=<path_to_app> --target-framework=Xamarin.iOS,v1.0

MT0010: Could not parse the command line arguments: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred + part of stack trace.

Oh well.

Expected Behavior

I think what expected is:

  1. It should somehow work in the end when I provide a valid option from the list provided by mtouch
  2. If mtouch requires this argument in order to upload app to device it should be mentioned in docs
  3. possible values for this argument should be mentioned whenever it's missed if required or something invalid is provided
  4. possible values should also be mentioned in docs
  5. versions should not be misleading. Like if current version of Xamarin.iOS is 14.6.0.15 I shouldn't be expected to provide Xamarin.iOS v1.0 somewhere.

Actual Behavior

Mtouch doesn't upload app to an iOS devices, error messages are not clear, there's nothing in Docs, it's not clear what to do, Versions are inconsistent.

Can you try using mlaunch (/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Current/bin/mlaunch) instead of mtouch?

rotanov commented 3 years ago

Yes, it just works. Thank you. Is it documented somewhere?

rolfbjarne commented 3 years ago

That's great!

Is it documented somewhere?

Using mtouch directly to install or launch applications on device was never a supported option, which means there was never much documentation about it either (and that continues with mlaunch).

So I'm going to close this issue.

As I mentioned it's support was and still is documented here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/mtouch#deploying-to-a-device
