Can't connect to Mobile Safari in iOS Simulator using Node

Issue is line 36:

data.__argument.WIRSocketDataKey = JSON.stringify(data.__argument.WIRSocketDataKey);

bplistCreator.js treats WIRSocketDataKey as a string when it's actually data in bplist terms.

Line 36 should be:

data.__argument.WIRSocketDataKey = new Buffer(JSON.stringify(data.__argument.WIRSocketDataKey));

For this to work the version of bplistCreator.js from GH is required as the version with data support doesn't appear to be available via npm yet https://github.com/nearinfinity/node-bplist-creator

Have kept history below just for reference:

Done a bit more digging and watching the system.log during execution...

tail -f /var/log/system.log

And I see the following when the browser crashes

-[__NSCFString bytes]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xa947af0*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFString bytes]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xa947af0'*** First throw call stack:(0x48b012 0x1578e7e 0x5164bd 0x47abbc 0x47a94e 0x413390 0x43b763 0xb55415 0x44bf0f5 0x45080d8 0x45085f1 0x3557548 0x40ef3f 0x40e96f 0x431734 0x430f44 0x430e1b 0x3556c50 0x9026e557 0x90258cee)com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[237] (UIKitApplication:com.apple.mobilesafari[0x10ee][59604]):     Job appears to have crashed: Abort trap: 6backboardd[54902]: Application 'UIKitApplication:com.apple.mobilesafari[0x10ee]' exited     abnormally with signal 6: Abort trap: 6ReportCrash[59611]: Saved crash report for MobileSafari[59604] version 1659.13 to /Users/xx/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/MobileSafari_2013-01-29-212042_Andy-Daviess-MacBook-Pro.crash

(I've removed times and dates from above)

EDIT:

I think the issue is that WIRSocketDataKey is being sent as a string when it should be data

Doesn't look like node-bplist-creator supports data type at the moment so that's the first thing that we need to fixup.

EDIT 2:

GH version of node-bplist-creater does support data type, but doesn't appear to be packaged (???)

EDIT 3:

Got it working will send you a pull request tomorrow!
