Deploy to a device
waid build produces the app but never installs it. waid deploy builds it if
needed, syncs an ICE candidate, then installs and launches it on a connected
iOS or Android device. It requires a usable ICE session. macOS apps use
waid build --target macos.
bash
waid deploy --target android # auto-pick the connected devicewaid deploy --target ios # auto-pick the connected iPhonewaid deploy --target ios --no-launch # install only, don't launch| Flag | What it does |
|---|---|
--target <ios|android> | Which device platform to deploy to. Required. |
--src <dir> | Your project (defaults to the current directory). |
--mode <name> | Vite mode; defaults to development. |
--tenant <key> | Tenant for the ICE candidate. |
--no-launch | Install without launching. |
--android-serial <serial> | Target a specific Android device. |
--ios-device-udid <udid> | Target a specific iPhone. |
--skip-ice-registration | Install without registration; device SSO is off. The CLI still requires a usable session. |
For an iOS device deploy, waid deploy asks once for your signing details (bundle id /
team) and saves them into waid.config.json.
bash
waid deploy --target android --src ./my-appwaid deploy --target ios --ios-device-udid 00008120-000...Use waid devices --target ios or waid devices --target android to list devices.
Candidate sync, ICE publication, and tenant installation are separate operations.
