I used my apple Id and password to download apps but it is giving me the above error.

How to fix? ipatool 1.0.9

apple content id is more easier for find when user searching for app, but bundle id is not on the web page.

for eg. testflight url https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664 id 899247664 is in URL, and in HTML <meta name="apple:content_id" content="899247664"> also is trackId in search result.

so user directly input the apple content id could skip the search part in download sub command, maybe?

What happened?

I was downloading google assistant via ipatool, but (i used the --purchase addon) and it did not work, so then I tried other apps that use the purchase command and it still did not work

Description

I have endangered games and apps delisted from the store. They are locked in a family purchased list, as the account formally belonged to me but now my mother uses that account.

I am sorry for this silly question but I am not able to figure out how can I use/install this tool?

SVEIDs are (presumably) used by iTunes to grab app versions for downloading a specific version of an app. AppStore++, Adowngrader, and App Admin use this to downgrade apps, and I believe the App Store itself uses it when you're on an older version of iOS than the latest version supports.

Adowngrader is open source, maybe something helpful is there.

It would be great if the ipatool could support custom apps: https://developer.apple.com/custom-apps/

Access control of custom apps is based on an organization ID and name of an Apple Business Manager account that are entered into App Store Connect distribution settings of the app. From ABM, the app can be consumed via MDM or redeemable codes.

When downloading the latest release of ipatool from the GitHub, it returns as a non-executable binary format. The fix for the user would be to run chmod on the binary, but a simpler solution would be if you were to release it in a .zip file to maintain the permissions.

And thank you for such an awesome tool man! Best regards

I want to use ipatool in a cron job on a server to automatically pull the latest version of an app from the App Store. However, the server can't do it on its own due to 2FA. Is there a way to get around this? For example, in https://docs.fastlane.tools/getting-started/ios/authentication/ they discuss a number of ways, but all of them either require some manual help periodically or else aren't applicable to downloading apps from the App Store.

How to change region and country of Apps?
Some Apps do not support for all countries.

Hi Majd
This gif seems to have been originally recorded, but it should be updated ipa to ipatool now to avoid causing confused to users.

This is the ipa file downloaded by "ipatool"

➜  ~ otool -l /Users/tinxie/Downloads/com.xxxxx.xxxxxx_284882215_v320.0_362/Payload/xxxxxx.app/xxxxxx | grep -B 2 crypt
          cmd LC_ENCRYPTION_INFO_64
      cmdsize 24
     cryptoff 16384
    cryptsize 3686400
      cryptid 1

cryptid 1
the value of cryptid is 1 which shows that the application binary is encrypted.
If for an application, the cryptid value is 0, it would mean that the application binary is unencrypted.

can auto decrypt application binary files?

If the App has both iPad & iPhone app, it is good to download it.
But when the App has only iPad app, there is no results of searching.

Thanks for the great work, especially with the 1.1.0 release. I have no problem running this tool on macOS 12.2. But I get this error on macOS 11.1:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libswift_Concurrency.dylib

Reason: image not found

@majd Hi

does this tool support downloading ipa files from apple business manager ?
Apple Configurator 2 currently support this feature when u provide your apple business manager account it download .ipa files at this path
~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileApps/

can u guide how it does that ?

Thanks

I've been trying to compile this on Linux and been exploring the feasibility of a port. After a couple of changes (which are pretty dirty because I've never worked with Swift), I could get the program to compile.

However, the login fails because of invalid credentials:

root@139ae75041b2:~/ipatool# .build/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/ipatool auth login --log-level debug
==> ⚠️	[Warning] Enter Apple ID email:
==> ⚠️	[Warning] Enter Apple ID password:
==> 🛠	[Debug] Creating HTTP client...
==> 🛠	[Debug] Creating App Store client...
==> ℹ️	[Info] Authenticating with the App Store...
==> 🛠	[Debug] invalidCredentials
==> ❌	[Error] Invalid credentials.

Specifically, Apple returns the following network response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>pings</key>
<array></array>
<key>failureType</key><string>-5000</string>
<key>customerMessage</key><string>The Apple ID you entered couldn’t be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.</string>
<key>m-allowed</key><false/>
<key>cancel-purchase-batch</key><true/>
</dict>
</plist>

The 2FA popup worked on the first try, and then failed the second time. It doesn't seem like I got blocked because the login still works when running ipatool on my macOS.

I imagine the reason might be in different HTTP headers between macOS and Linux, maybe?

I've been using Ubuntu 20.04 on arm64 with Swift version 5.6.1, all running in Docker on macOS.

the IPAs downloaded through ipatool are working fine on m1 macs running 11.2.3 or below just like imazing would but apple stopped serving macOS compatible sinf data as you said and the 11.3 update stopped sideloading but you mentioned in the READ-ME that it's possible to get around that by using a jailbroken device so can you please give more details on how to exactly do that?
ps: I know it's not really an issue with your tool but I just hope that you will update the read me page with detailed steps.
thank you

What happened?

Hi Dev. This project is amazing. I have using your project and remake it. Using siri shortcut + github actions. But if can support input 2FA code from github secrets env?

Hello, I try to download an app using the tool with my apple ID and password but it gives invalid credentials error. What could be the reason for this authentication error? The provided password is encrypted or plain text?

==> ℹ️ [Info] Authenticating with the App Store...
==> ❌ [Error] Invalid credentials.

Works fine with Catalina and Big Sur...

As it currently stands, the tool currently only allows for downloading previously installed apps, however there is no way to list these apps and instead relies on you knowing the exact bundleId for every app downloaded.

It would be great to be able to specify the output path, especially when using ipatool in scripts and where it's downloading multiple .ipas

Hey majd,

Installed through brew on Mac 10.15.4.
xCode 11.4.1

Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ipatool Reason: image not found.

Perhaps can be fixed by added optional flag on libswift_Concurrency.dylib.

Can't try it out myself since I refuse to update xcode & break my tweak dev environment.

Support for tvOS ipas would be useful

I saw some work was started in #27 and wanted to create a tracking issue for similar efforts going forward.

Hi Majd

First of all thank you very much! this tool looks very useful!

Second, I'm getting the following error when trying to download apps (I tried multiple, this one I just choose randomly)

==> ℹ️	[Info] Querying the iTunes Store for 'sa.virginmobile.vm' in country 'US'...
==> ⚠️	[Warning] Enter Apple ID email:
==> ⚠️	[Warning] Enter Apple ID password:

==> ❌	[Error] Your Apple ID does not have a license for this app. Download the app on an iOS device to obtain a license.

Do you know what's the error or how to solve it?

Thank you

Nice util. but i need download the special device ipa, did ipatool support this feature?

I'm trying to download an ipa like any user I guess..
but the problem is that I can't get past the authentication, my appleid has 2FA
I don't know what's the default approach here, this is the first time I try this.
anyway when I put my appleid and password, it instantly gives me unknown error..
I tried debug log but it made this even more weird.
this is a screenshot of what's happening:

ipatool download -b facebook
==> ℹ️ [Info] Querying the iTunes Store for 'facebook' in country 'US'...
==> ❌ [Error] Could not find app.

I am not sure if this is in the project's scope, but it would be nice if it could be great if support for running on jailbroken iOS was added

What happened?

ipatool download -b com.emberlink.foodby --log-level debug> temp.log 2>&1
ipatool download -b com.emberlink.foodby --log-level debug> temp.log
ipatool download -b com.emberlink.foodby | tee temp.log
ipatool download -b com.emberlink.foodby 2>&1 | tee temp.log

Tried these two commands. If I don't use pipe, I can get error response (as expected)

❌	[Error] Your Apple ID does not have a license for this app. Use the "purchase" command or the "--purchase" to obtain a license.

But I can not get any log with pipe
