I'm incredibly frustrated by the lack of command line dev tools for iOS. For example using adb with Android, I can stop a running app, clear all of its data and start it again. I can push and pull files and can dissect the internal state as a result.<p>I do find various unmaintained tools for iOS as they generally use undocumented and changing backends.<p>My current biggest need is to grab and put files in the app sandbox. There are several gui tools that can do it like i-funbox, but absolutely nothing that is automatable. <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15980545/command-line-access-to-ios-app-directory-sandbox-from-mac" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15980545/command-line-acc...</a>

I LOOOOVEEE the output. Nice, colorful and significant.<p>if you want to link it to your /usr/local/bin directory.. just modify the xctool.sh XCTOOL_DIR=path/where/xctool/is/located<p>Now... if only i could figure out how to use the xctool with Fortify....

"Runs the same tests as Xcode.app."<p>If this works, it's huge. Mad excited about this.

I created a homebrew formula for it. The PR is not yet merged, but seems to be working quite fine: <a href="https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/19590" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/19590</a>

Nicely formatted output. I've been leaning towards using Rake tasks to handle this (there are a few gems out there to help), but I'll give this a whirl.

Oh, wicked. Giving it a shot tonight :) Being able to automate this right makes me sleep better.
