It looks like --bundle-id option has no effect in this command. All these commands return the same output:

• idb file ls --bundle-id com.facebook.flipper /
• idb file ls --bundle-id this.does.not.exist /
• idb file ls /

Additional Information

• idb revision: 1.0.13 (latest pip package)
• iPhone: iPhone 6s Plus
• iOS Version: 14.4.2

When building idb from the current master branch, it works ok. So the real issue is that we don't get the latest version by brew & pip installs.

I tested the new release version 1.1.2 but oddly it has this same issue. All these commands return still the same output:

• idb file ls --bundle-id com.facebook.flipper /
• idb file ls --bundle-id this.does.not.exist /
• idb file ls /

@iqqmuT The same issue.Do you have a way to start the idb_companion with the binary instead of launching it within Xcode?

[iqqmuT]

@FFFang Unfortunately I haven't figured it out.

[ma125125t]

@iqqmuT OK.Still thank you for the workaround.

@FFFang @iqqmuT you guys should take a look at https://github.com/facebook/idb/issues/671 if you haven't Also I think I explain how to launch from binary in my last comment there, TLDR; archive the build and distribute as built products then copy/paste to /urs/local/bin, do not forget to add frameworks to your /usr/local/Frameworks folder

I do have different outputs for the commands you guys listed. However I still have the flipper certificate issue https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/2113

EDIT: Solved my certificate issue, was related to another fix I tried to apply and forgot to clean. Now if I idb connect first, then I'm good with flipper

This issue seems to be fixed in the release version 1.1.3.

@iqqmuT, can you help me? i facing this problem, I already builded idb_companion from source, updated idb python client, and im using 0.125.0 version, the idb file command always returns the same response ignoring bundle-id

@hlspablo

• Can you make sure you are using the latest versions?
• Which component has version 0.125.0?
• If you are using self built idb_companion, make sure to brew uninstall idb-companion and clean and build again

@iqqmuT Thanks for your time, the problem was pip cache that was installing an outdated version, and I had to change the idb path on Flipper since I used pip3.9. this pip caching behavior is very weird, since it doest warn about new versions.
