IPATool-py

Python version of IPATool!

Now Supports:

• Purchasing App via --purchase
• Downloading Old IPA via iTunes Server

Installation

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

There're three commands: lookup, historyver, download. Each command's usage can be found by -h option.

You can also chain multiple command, last command's output will be passed to next command (so you don't need to supply some arguments like appVerId)

Download Newest Version

Download an app using bundleID (-o can be omited)

python3 main.py lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP download -e APPLE_EMAIL -p APPLE_PWD -o DIR

Or appID (XXXXX in the apps.apple.com/app/xxxx/idXXXXXX)

python3 main.py download -i XXXXX

You can also purchase apps when downloading using --purchase:

python3 main.py lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP download --purchase -e APPLE_EMAIL -p APPLE_PWD -o DIR

Download OLD Version

Old versions must be downloaded together with iTunes Server. You can get iTunes Server in several ways:

• Using action-ipadown directly, which integrated this tool
  • NOTE: this method does not support 2FA
• Manually way with Windows: (supports 2FA)
  • download this repo: https://github.com/NyaMisty/actions-iTunes-header
  • install iTunes 12.6.5.3, from https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/itunes12/091-87819-20180912-69177170-B085-11E8-B6AB-C1D03409AD2A6/iTunes64Setup.exe
  • patch the iTunes using actions-iTunes-header/workflow_helper/iTunesInstall/patch_itunes.py
  • install frida: pip3 install frida
  • open iTunes, sign out & re-login your account
  • run: actions-iTunes-header/workflow_helper/iTunesDownload/get_header.py
• Manually way with jailbroken iOS device: (supports 2FA)
  • download KbsyncTool
  • install com.darwindev.kbsync_XXX.deb on your jailbroken device
  • exec kbsynctool -s 9000 on your jailbroken device
  • you will find log Using -s http://192.168.100.227:9000/..., use it as server address in next step

After setting up the server, you can run this tool to download a specific version

python3 main.py lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP download -s http://127.0.0.1:9000 --appVerId 833889087

NOTE: Some users are reporting that you need to authorize computer and make first purchase in iTunes with marked "do not ask for password" before using the iTunes server. (See #26)

Get History Ver (usually used together with JSON)

Get all appVerId of app from Apple

python3 main.py lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP historyver -e APPLE_EMAIL -p APPLE_PWD

Lookup (usually used together with JSON)

Query app basic information:

• By bundleID: python3 main.py lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP
• By appID: python3 main.py lookup -i 1239860606 -c JP

Query appVerId:

python3 main.py lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP --get-verid

Headless Usage

For each command you can use --json switch to get result of command in JSON

python3 main.py --json lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP --get-verid
python3 main.py --json lookup -b com.touchingapp.potatsolite -c JP historyver -e APPLE_EMAIL -p APPLE_PWD

For Large Scale Scraping

You can download all versions of an app like this:

python3 main.py --json download --itunes-server http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9000 --appId 414478124 --purchase --downloadAllVersion

• In this mode, errors will only be logged instead of interrupting the whole process
• For each downloaded app version, it will output a line of json in stdout like this:

  {"appName": "WeChat", "appBundleId": "com.tencent.xin", "appVer": "6.5.13.34", "appId": 414478124, "appVerId": 822899148, "downloadedIPA": "wechat\\com.tencent.xin-6.5.13.34-414478124-822899148.ipa", "downloadedVerId": 822899148}

  Logs will only be printed to stderr, so you can parse this line for automation.

Development

• All requests' reqBody and respBody are modeled using modified JSONSchema2PoPo2 (see my NyaMisty/JSONSchema2PoPo2), you can regenerate the binding by cd into reqs/schemas and execute python3 -m schema_defs
• See more information on how to generate schema in reqs/schemas directory
