The exclusive DEB feature works by intercepting MobileInstallationInstall – the function normally called by installd when installing an IPA. But when an .app is placed via dpkg, the installation daemon is never invoked. Instead, SpringBoard reads the .app bundle directly. AppSync ensures that when SpringBoard queries MobileContainerManager and MIS , it receives:

# Deploy the .deb file to multiple environments sudo dpkg -i my-api.deb --env development sudo dpkg -i my-api.deb --env staging sudo dpkg -i my-api.deb --env production
