After upgrading to 1.2.2 (from 1.2.1), fail to start iOS device log capture via deviceconsole.

After investigating the source code lib/devices/ios/ios-log.js, I find the error was caused by the absence of the executable devicesyslog.

$ cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/deviceconsole/
$ ls -1
Makefile
MobileDevice.framework
MobileDevice.h
deviceconsole.xcodeproj
main.c

So I compile it manually and the issue gets resolved. I think this step (compilation) should be done automatically.

Hi All, I am using appium 1.4.8, I tried all the methods mentioned above, but I cannot see Deviceconsole.xcodeproject in under my deviceconsole folder, there is only one executable file named “deviceconsole”.What should I do?
