Hello,

I'm not able to get the -uninstallApp command to work. Running on the Mac PowerBook uinstalling from an iPhone 4. The command returns as true when run though.

This is my task

<arg line='-uninstallApp -platform ios -device 50 -appid com.kiwiworks.cnn'/>

Where com.kiwiworks.cnn is what's the app is packaged as.

I figured this out. The commands involving adding/remove and launching apps do not work if you have WiFi Syncing enabled in iTunes for your iOS device.

Also just a reminder on removing the apps. The appid in debug mode, by default has '.debug' added to the end of it. So

com.examplecompany.ExampleApp would be com.examplecompany.ExampleApp.debug

Oh and if the developer who made it sees this ' THANK YOU '. Using iTunes was one of the biggest time sinks when syncing the apps.
