xcrun simctl install booted Hone.app
xcrun simctl launch booted com.hone.ideRequires: Apple Developer account, codesign identity, and a provisioning profile.
One-time setup — generate a provisioning profile:
# Create a stub Xcode project to trigger automatic provisioning
mkdir -p /tmp/HoneSigner/Sources
cat > /tmp/HoneSigner/Sources/main.swift <<<'import UIKit'
cat > /tmp/HoneSigner/project.yml << 'EOF'name: HoneSignertargets: Hone: type: application platform: iOS deploymentTarget: "17.0" sources: [{ path: Sources }] settings: base: PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER: com.hone.ide DEVELOPMENT_TEAM: YOUR_TEAM_ID CODE_SIGN_STYLE: Automatic GENERATE_INFOPLIST_FILE: YESEOFcd /tmp/HoneSigner && xcodegen generate
xcodebuild build -project HoneSigner.xcodeproj -scheme Hone \
-destination "generic/platform=iOS" -allowProvisioningUpdatesThis builds a throwaway app but downloads the provisioning profile you need. Find it in the built .app:
BUILT_APP=$(find ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/HoneSigner-*/Build/Products -name "Hone.app" -type d | head -1)Build, sign, and deploy:
# 1. Build for device (run from the Perry repo root so it finds libraries)cd /path/to/perry
perry compile /path/to/hone-ide/src/app.ts --target ios --output /path/to/hone-ide/Hone
# 2. Embed provisioning profile

xcrun devicectl device install app --device "$DEVICE_ID" Hone.app
xcrun devicectl device process launch --device "$DEVICE_ID" com.hone.ideReplace YOUR_TEAM_ID with your Apple Developer Team ID and the signing identity with your certificate name (find with security find-identity -v -p codesigning).
