Encountering the message "Error mounting to image" and "No devices found to debug" when attempting a Remote Build to a Mac using Xcode with Cordova

I'm encountering an issue while trying to debug my cordova project on an iPhone using a remote build on my Mac. The build is successful, but I receive the following two error messages during deployment:

Failed to launch iOS remote for build
C:\Flex\Trunk\Flex.Net\Flex.Net.MobileHybrid\bld\ios\Release\buildInfo.json` to : Http 404: Error mounting developer disk image

In an attempt to resolve this error, I've already attempted the following without success:

  • Restarting all devices
  • Ensuring the presence of a disk image for each iOS by checking the folder Finder > Xcode > Show Package Contents > Developer > Platforms > DeviceSupport.
  • Downloading the latest XCode, Cordova, and iOS (10.0.2) on my phone.
  • Utilizing a phone with a lower version of iOS (9.3).

Failed to Debug iOS remote for build C:\Flex\Trunk\Flex.Net\Flex.Net.MobileHybrid\bld\ios\Release\buildInfo.json to : Http 500: No devices found to debug. Please ensure that a device is connected and awake and retry.

Regarding the second error message, here are the steps I have taken in an effort to address it:

  • Verifying that all different kinds of Apple developer certificates are set up properly. I have also successfully debugged the device on XCode on my Mac.
  • Restarting all devices involved, updating everything (Xcode, Visual Studio, iOS, Cordova, plugins, etc.), and attempting to register a different iPhone as well.

If anyone has any insights into what might be triggering these errors, please share your thoughts. I feel like I have exhausted almost every troubleshooting step.

Answer №1

After attempting Zelina's fix, I encountered the following error message 

Error: libimobiledevice HEAD-45fda81 already installed
and faced continuous failure (Http 404 and 500).

To resolve this issue on my MAC terminal, I took the following steps:

  • uninstalled ideviceinstaller using brew
  • forcefully uninstalled libimobiledevice while ignoring its dependencies with brew
  • updated brew and then reinstalled libimobiledevice with --HEAD option, followed by installing ideviceinstaller and ios-webkit-debug-proxy
  • performed an upgrade on ios-webkit-debug-proxy via brew

If the installation process goes smoothly without any errors, try debugging with VS2015 once more - it should now function correctly.

I sincerely hope that this solution proves helpful to someone out there, as I personally struggled for a considerable amount of time before discovering this workaround.

Answer №2

Following the recommendation, I decided to update the library responsible for deploying on devices from my mac by using the command 

brew upgrade libimobiledevice --HEAD
. As a result, I have been able to successfully deploy using Visual Studio.
