Error installing IPA: Could not determine bundle id

[zarko-tg]

Expected behavior

IPA file is installed.

Actual behavior.

IPA file is NOT installed due to "Could not determine bundle id" error.
The command used to work with ios-deploy ver. 1.11.x. The tool now requires to provide a bundle_id in addition to the bundle (file). When the bundle_id is provided the installation succeeds.

Steps to reproduce the problem

ios-deploy --bundle app.ipa

System Specs

System Version: macOS 12.5 (21G72)
Kernel Version: Darwin 21.6.0

ios-deploy: 1.12.0 (installed with brew)
Xcode: 13.4.1
Xcode tools: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

I've also noticed this "bug" since updating to 1.12.0. As @zarko-tg mentioned, by specifying the actual bundle id with the -1 flag, it will install successfully.

Was this expected behavior with the latest version?

[ivanhernandez13]

Ah this was caused by #503 which assumes we can always extract the bundle id from the given app bundle but that only works for <name>.app, not <name>.ipa. I'll see about skipping this codepath when installing an ipa

Fix is committed and included in the latest 1.12.1 release.

@ivanhernandez13 thanks for the quick fix and release! Just grabbed it and confirmed it's working like before.

Thanks again for maintaining this project!
