ipaversion

Man-In-The-Middle agent for querying & downloading history versions of iOS apps.

• Query history versions

• Select one to download

prerequisites

1. Install iTunes 12.6.5 , login Apple ID, and trust & authorize the computer you are using.

   • macOS: https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/itunes12/091-87821-20180912-69177170-B085-11E8-B6AB-C1D03409AD2A/iTunes12.6.5.dmg
   • Windows: https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/itunes12/091-87819-20180912-69177170-B085-11E8-B6AB-C1D03409AD2A6/iTunes64Setup.exe

2. Download ipaversion from Releases page.

3. Generate your own CA cert and put into ~/.mitmproxy , OR just start ipaversion and it will generate a new one.

4. Trust the CA cert. (Read mitmproxy docs About Certificates for more information)

   • macOS

   sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -p ssl -p basic -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain ~/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem

   • Windows

   certutil -addstore root mitmproxy-ca-cert.cer

Now you are ready to GO!

usage

1. Quit ipaversion if it is open. Run ipaversion -c to make sure it turns off the system proxy.
2. Open iTunes, search for an App. Buy it if you haven't.
3. Start ipaversion
4. Go back to iTunes and click Download button.
5. ipaversion will intercept the request and use it to get history versions.

Note: By default, ipaversion will get all history versions. If you only want to query a subset of those versions, specify -start and/or -end flags:

# query a given range of versions: versionIDs[10..20)
ipaversion -start 10 -end 20
# query first(oldest) 5 versions: versionsIDs[0..5)
ipaversion -end 5

# A negative value means counting from last, for example:
# query last(latest) 5 versions
ipaversion -start -5

dump to files

In case that network is unstable for "select index and download", you can specify -dump flag to have ipaversion dump all the replay responses to files for later use.

Alternatively, upon entering index/commands, input dump <index> or just d <index> to dump one replay response to file.

With a response file, run ipaversion -i <response-file> to download ipa.

Note: the response file may only be valid for several days (a week or so).
