Answer 1

Fruitstrap is no longer maintained, for a more up to date project checkout the fork by PhoneGap called ios-deploy.

To install run: npm install -g ios-deploy

Here are some examples of how to use it:

// deploy and debug your app to a connected device
ios-deploy --debug --bundle my.app

// deploy and launch your app to a connected device, but quit the debugger after
ios-deploy --justlaunch --debug --bundle my.app

// deploy and launch your app to a connected device, quit when app crashes or exits
ios-deploy --noninteractive --debug --bundle my.app

// Upload a file to your app's Documents folder
ios-deploy --bundle_id 'bundle.id' --upload test.txt --to Documents/test.txt
