Ios-deploy install doesn't work

[vinigabriel]

Hi,

Command line arguments than I used for ios-deploy.

sudo npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm --allow-root

Expected behavior

Install ios-deploy global via NPM

Actual behavior.

Ios-deploy not installed and get the error 65:

[vinigabriel]

I temporarily turn off the SIP and ran the commands again. I got build sucess.

[ceeyang]

I had turn off the SIP, but it does't work for me .

[ceeyang]

[tonylucas]

I had same problem, even turning off the SIP.
I removed XPCServices file, and the install worked;

[ceeyang]

@tonylucas I have no XPCServices file, I don't know how to do, can you help me

[ceeyang]

@tonylucas thanks very much, I got it.

[smallMotorFly]

@tonylucas thanks very much, I got it too.but does the file work for others?

[KimCongMax]

hey guy,how did you remove this file?

[tonylucas]

@KimCongMax sudo rm /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/XPCServices
But you need to turn off the SIP to be able to do it.

[KimCongMax]

@tonylucas i tried ,but failed with this tips
rm: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/XPCServices: Operation not permitted

[tonylucas]

But you need to turn off the SIP to be able to do it.

[KimCongMax]

@tonylucas Thanks ,come china， i owe you a dinner

[KimCongMax]

this problem bothered me a day @tonylucas

UPDATE: This is a workaround, not a solution

I wouldn't call this a solution, but at least this will get you moving forward again. Follow #349 for a solution. Seems kind of sketchy that we have to disable system protections on macOS to delete a core system file.

How to apply the workaround:

For those looking for a straight forward solution workaround, I was able to resolve this on my machine following the instructions in this thread.

My environment:

OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.5
Xcode Version: Version 9.4.1 (9F2000)

Disable "SIP"

1. Click the  symbol in the Menu bar.
2. Click Restart…
3. Hold down Command-R to reboot into Recovery Mode.
4. Click Utilities.
5. Select Terminal.
6. Enter csrutil disable.
7. Enter reboot.

Attempt install with "SIP" disabled

1. After reboot, move XPCServices file to temporary location for safety purposes sudo mv /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/XPCServices ~
2. Attempt install again with this command sudo npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm --allow-root
3. Install should successfully complete.

Re-enable "SIP"

1. Click the  symbol in the Menu bar.
2. Click Restart…
3. Hold down Command-R to reboot into Recovery Mode.
4. Click Utilities.
5. Select Terminal.
6. Enter csrutil enable. (important that you set it to enable here...)
7. Enter reboot.

==========
Update 2: Changed to a mv command instead of an rm command. Safety first! 👍

[XY113HE]

@tonylucas thk u very much, it works, happyhappyhappy

[lyon007]

good

[yytian1017]

@jaydrogers thk u very much, it works, happyhappyhappy

[bend-up]

@jaydrogers Thank you for workaround, I must however warn about installing ios-deploy with sudo and --unsafe-perm --allow-root.
With SIP disabled I've got my OS corrupted (permissions problem), not sure whether because of that command or because of operating with SIP disabled for some time. Anyway this is what worked for me and seems to be a safer version of your workaround:

1. Reboot into Recovery mode and in terminal type:
   csrutil disable
2. After reboot, move XPCServices file to safe location:
   sudo mv /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/XPCServices ~
3. Reboot into Recovery mode and in terminal type:
   csrutil enable
4. After reboot install ios-deploy:
   npm install -g ios-deploy

My environment:

OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)
Xcode: Version 9.4.1 (9F2000)

[jaydrogers]

@bend-up Thanks for this. I updated my command for others so that it runs the mv command instead.

I cringed when I saw that sudo command too. When I tried it without the sudo permissions, it threw this huge message with a ton of warning flags (!!!!) saying that it will fail unless I added sudo and --unsafe-perm.

It would be really nice to see these commands removed for security and safety purposes, but it seems quite intentional that it needs sudo permissions.

[bend-up]

@jaydrogers yes, it warns you about that, however for me worked it without the sudo permissions, so I'd try that first and if that doesn't work then version with sudo.

[chazzmoney]

@bend-up I think you have a typo in 3.

csrutil enable

Thanks for your note - big help!

[bend-up]

@chazzmoney Thank you, updated.

[bennid]

Is there any work being done to allow for this install to work without disabling SIP? I'm running on a machine in a datacenter I don't have access to, and have recently upgraded to High Sierra and xcode 9.4, and am now getting this error.

[jaydrogers]

@bennid: Track issue #349. There was a comment posted this morning that might work: #349 (comment)

[bennid]

Unfortunately that still requires disabling SIP

[jasonfish568]

Thanks jaydrogers. This comment needs to be highlighted for everyone who comes to this page.

[nestamarl]

after I installed the "Xcode 10 beta 4" the problem disappeared

[jasonfish568]

Can anyone who tried nestamari's solution give us some feedback on it?

[shazron]

Duping to #349

[shazron]

1.9.3 published with this fix: https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy/releases/tag/1.9.3

[stevecarlton]

Was able to confirm 1.9.3 resolved this issue. Thanks!

[GreenRidingHood]

I guess we dont read messages on the terminal, no offence I am the same :D
end of the error message, saying run with "--unsafe-perm=true" or else it will fail

!!!! WARNING:You are on OS X 10.11 El Capitan or greater, you may need to add the
!!!! WARNING: --unsafe-perm=true flag when running npm install
!!!! WARNING: or else it will fail.

so I run "sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true -g ios-deploy" and worked

[matheusleite]

Nothing of this instructions worked for me at 1.9.3 version.

[matheusleite]

@GreenRidingHood Even with the "sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true -g ios-deploy" command I receive this warning and don't work

[gersonmontenegro]

I only executed the command that bring us @jaydrogers :
sudo npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm --allow-root
And it works on my Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6

so I run "sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true -g ios-deploy" and worked

This should be the right answer, it worked supernice, Thanks a Lot!

[andmar8]

@GreenRidingHood Even with the "sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true -g ios-deploy" command I receive this warning and don't work

Same on 1.9.3 or 1.9.4. Followed SIP disable advice, did the sudo install with unsafe perm and allow root... none of it works... just get the same OP error

I'm running catalina 10.15.1 with xcode 11.2.1 bv 11B500

... Nevermind:

"brew install ios-deploy"

Fixed!

[awaism551]

sudo npm uninstall -g ios-deploy
brew install ios-deploy

[hablema]

@awaism551 : Thanks. That was the only thing that worked for me.

[happygirlcici]

@awaism551 thanks
sudo npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm --allow-root not working on Cellar Mac
and brew install ios-deploy, so happy
