Why is this needed?

If you click on running the latest previews multiple times, we also install the app multiple times – which doesn’t make a ton of sense since the follow-up installs will reinstall the app again.

Steps to address the need

We should cancel running installation when we are trying to install the same app on the same device/simulator.

Hi, @fortmarek. I’m Dosu, and I’m helping the tuist team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary

You reported that launching the same latest preview repeatedly on macOS can trigger duplicate installs.
The suggested behavior is to detect an in-progress install for the same app on the same device or simulator and cancel the existing install instead of starting another one.
There haven’t been any additional comments or follow-up developments on the issue yet.

Next Steps

Please let us know if this is still relevant on the latest version of Tuist.
If it is, you can keep the discussion open by commenting here; otherwise, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.
