ADT cannot list connected iOS devices.

After updating to iTunes 12.3 today I can no longer list connected devices and can't deploy to them.

After running adt -devices -platform ios all I am getting is:

iIPA.exe[3044:1be0] CFNetwork module LOADED!

If I try to use the iIPA.exe directly I will get the correct list, I also see all my devices inside iTunes.

Any help?

Thanks, I marked it as Helpful. Might be wrong to mark it as Correct Answer, because that would suggest the original problem has been solved, when really it's a work around.

For me, when having troubles getting builds on to devices, I use Xcode's Devices window, to drag the IPA file on to my device. Of course, that won't help Windows users.

Have no success with this latest build.

But the error differs. I had "unable to enumerate devices", and now I have:

Error occurred while installing the application:

2015-11-17 17:27:56.423 iIPA.exe[1812:740] CFNetwork module LOADED!

Installation Error: PackageInspectionFailed.

I use Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit).

Any progress on a fix for this? I haven't been able to build to my iOS device for weeks. I tried the patch mentioned above but I'm still receiving errors. I tried manually installing the app from command line via mb81‌'s comment but still no luck. Am I doing this incorrectly? The app is not showing up on my device.

Hi soccerob,

There is a workaround that could make you able to continue building for you iOS devices.

I am currently using Adobe AIR 19 with these steps:

1. In Deployment Tab, uncheck the "Install applications on the connected iOS device" check box

2. Publish to generate the IPA file

3. Install the app in your device with this command line:

"<ADOBE AIR SDK PATH>\lib\aot\bin\iOSBin\iIPA.exe" -install application.ipa 1 1

This command installs on the first iOS connected device found the file "application.ipa"

I am deploying all my iOS apps this way until a real solutions is out there.

You could put that command line into a batch file that you can call installipa.bat doing the process a little bit easier.

You can even change "application.ipa" with a %1 and pass the ipa file to the batchfile through parameter something like this:

"<ADOBE AIR SDK PATH>\lib\aot\bin\iOSBin\iIPA.exe" -install %1 1 1

e.g. installipa.bat application.ipa

I hope this work for you.

You can also install an ipa with iTunes.

1 - open your provisioning profile with iTunes

2 - double click on the ipa file and open with iTunes

3 - click on install and synchronize the device.

Not very confortable but it works.... some days ago I use the iipa to install ipa but with the new iPhone 6s and new provisioning profile I receive an error on application verification. The ipa could be installed only with iTunes at the moment...

Adobe, no news???

Seriously Adobe? Windows users are unable to install AIR apps since more than a month and not even a reply?     

This should have been fixed within days not more than a month, how could you be so incompetent? Prerequisite for working at Adobe is to be illiterate?

For other developers that are having a problem with this (and until we get a new fix from Adobe).

If you are using FlashBuilder, do the following:

1. Go to the debug drop down and click on Debug Configurations...

2. Select the debug configuration for your iOS-device

3. Under Choose debugging method: select Debug via network

4. Make sure Install the application on the device over USB is unchecked.

5. Press Debug

6. Once it reaches 100% progress, use a third party program such as iFunBox to install the ipa from the bin-debug folder onto the iOS device.

7. Once iFunBox has finished installing the ipa, run it by pressing the icon on the iOS device.
8. You should be able to debug wirelessly

Any news regarding this? Should we wait for another AIR SDK in labs or for an iTunes update?

iIpa.exe is an utility to manag iOS devices bundled with the air sdk,

Adt use iIPA to transfer ipa applications.

I think that the sdk 19 have an iIPA output not compatible with adt ...

No news?

At the moment I manually upload the file by calling iIPA in the following way:

iIPA.exe -uninstall mypackage 1 1

iIPA.exe -install myApp.ipa 1 1

I enqueue this to my build script.
