Description

When doing a iOS device build, the only way to get log output is via the Xcode console. It should be possible to add support to node-ios-device for streaming the syslog to the CLI. Check out the deviceconsole (https://github.com/eswick/deviceconsole) project for some implementation details.

Yay :D

You still need to manually launch the app. :( I'm working on an idea of how to start the app automatically, but I haven't been able to get it to work yet.

Like this :)

   instruments -t '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate' -D /tmp/sti.trace -w 845ff06d84d091526fd6c7502aa1894b8d8377b8  test.app

however for some reason on my device it dies with

   2014-04-01 19:52:34.945 instruments[4393:1207] Permission to debug info.rborn.test was denied.  The app must be signed with a development identity (e.g. iOS Developer).
   Instruments Trace Error : Error Starting Recording

I think there is some solution on [this SO](http://stackoverflow.com/a/20276258) but don't have the time right now to investigate more :(

Oh, don't forget to delete the output after you finish cause the trace logs are pretty big (/tmp/sti.trace)

Hope I didn't sound like a smart a** :|
