CLI( tns ) Only can deploy first time to Real IPhone device, please help :(

When developing, I use the this command to run in Emulator, everything is fine:

tns livesync ios --emulator --device "iPhone 5" --watch

But after I want to test on real IPhone device, I run

tns run ios

It ONLY CAN WORKS for the first time, after that, it always DEPLOY FAIL with this error:

Results at '/Users/wison/NativeScriptProject/DemoMobileApp/platforms/ios/build/device/DemoMobileApp.ipa' 
Project successfully built
Using  /Users/wison/NativeScriptProject/DemoMobileApp/platforms/ios/build/device/DemoMobileApp.ipa
Unable to start service com.apple.mobile.installation_proxy. Result code is: 3892314239

I really have no idea on this, and the weird thing is keep going: After I unplug the IPHONE, the "tns device" command still can LIST my iphone( how could that possible ):

Wisons-MacBook-Pro:DemoMobileApp wison$ tns device
┌───┬─────────────┬──────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────┐

Anybody can help on this ??? :)

Hi @wisonye,

Can you try to restart your device and run the command again?

[wisonye]

@Fatme I found a tips, after restart my MacOSX, then plugin the IPhone, and the default "Photos" app will open( automatic ), IF I DON'T CLOSE Photos app, "tns run ios" works for more times, if I close it, just fail, I just found this, not sure it's the real reason, still confusing on this :)

[Fatme]

It's a really strange. Can you check if Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi option is turned on from your iTunes?

[alpipego]

I have a similar problem. Where I get the same error message:

Unable to start service com.apple.mobile.installation_proxy. Result code is: 3892314239

After unplugging the phone tns device does still list the phone, it is not visible in Xcode → Window → Devices however.

Edit
I opened iTunes and checked 'Sync over WiFi' - applied - then unchecked this option - applied again - closed iTunes and now tns device completely hangs (Ctrl+C does nothing), regardless if the iPhone is connected or not.

It's curious, but I got rid of the error by stopping a ton of apps (mostly games) my son started while I was away. Got to the springboard-only state and it started installing everything smoothly.

I frequently get this issue:

Successfully deployed on device 204ea16234def71a7e7813d9e7490e54b0037b73
Unable to start service com.apple.mobile.installation_proxy. Result code is: 3892314239

Nothing mentioned here works a 100% of the time.

Same problem with iPad4,1. No solution mentioned works. I start my ios app my xcode.

[wisonye]

@rleclair65 Yep, you're right, when "tns" sometime happy, sometime is not happy, the finally helper is XCode, 100% can install and run on IOS Device :) And XCode also fixed the "Black launch screen" issue as well :)

I found that in my terminal if I list the processes and kill the forked server process it helps. For example run:
ps
to get the list of processes. It should give you something like:

PID TTY TIME CMD
496 ttys000 0:00.47 -bash
2660 ttys000 0:00.26 adb -P 5037 fork-server server --reply-fd 4

Then kill fork-server like this:
kill 2660

@aylesm How adb is related to iOS?

[spstratis]

Has there been any further updates on this?

[enchev]

Hey @spstratis what is your CLI version?

[manijak]

Someone care to explain why this is closed and no permanent solution provided?

I have this issue on CLI 2.0.1
