Summary

Follow-up to #114. The WebDriverAgent code is BSD-licensed, and BSD requires its notice to travel with binary distributions, not only with the source.

scripts/patch-runner.sh now copies LICENSE and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md into the root of the runner app and, where present, the host app. That covers all three released artifacts, because make ipa-unsigned and make sim-zip both run the script before packaging. The script already copies icon files into the same place.

The bundles are unsigned at this point (CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO) and are signed later by mobilecli or Device Farm, so adding files does not invalidate a signature.

Test plan

  • make ipa-unsigned: build succeeded; both files are present in devicekit-ios-runner.ipa and devicekit-ios.ipa under Payload/<app>.app/
  • make sim-zip-arm64: build succeeded; both files are present in devicekit-ios-Sim-arm64.zip
  • xcrun simctl install of the new simulator runner on an iPhone 17 simulator succeeded, and the installed bundle contains both files
  • Not verified: the runner starting and serving requests. mobilecli dump ui hung on the test simulator, and the control run with an unmodified build of main hung even earlier, inside xcrun simctl uninstall, with other simctl calls on that simulator stuck too. That points to local simulator state rather than this change, but it is not proof. Please run a quick simulator or device check before the next release.

TASK-0123

…p bundles

The BSD license of the WebDriverAgent-derived code requires its notice to travel with binary distributions. patch-runner.sh now copies both files into the runner app and, where present, the host app, so the runner IPA, the app IPA and the simulator zips all carry them.

Walkthrough

The patch runner now resolves the repository root and copies LICENSE and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md into each existing runner or host app bundle. It exits with status 1 if either copy fails. The completion message now reports that notices, the display name, and the icon were applied.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 38909

The change adds license and third-party notices to the runner and host app bundles. If the notice copy fails, the simulator install recipe can still report success with the notices missing. This is a small, easily fixed gap and does not block merging.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Stop the installation when notice copying fails.

If patch-runner.sh cannot copy a notice, it exits with status 1. This recipe still runs both installations and prints a success message. Stop the recipe on that failure so it cannot report a successful installation with missing notices.

Update the installation recipe in patch-runner.sh to stop immediately when notice copying fails, before either installation runs or a success message is printed. Preserve the script’s failure status so the recipe cannot report success after a failed notice copy.
