ipsw started out as just a humble IPSW downloader and has grown into SO much more, however, the download code had gotten pretty crusty. It is hopefully MUCH more simple, flexible, intuitive and powerful.
Feature Highlights
- I saw @pedantcoder mention the Apple Releases RSS feed (which I had no idea existed) and NOW
ipswcan consume and watch it as well as notify you about 🆕 releases! Now you can one up ALL your twitter crew with the quickness 🏃♀️ - 🆕 new ~/.ipsw.yml config support!
ipswcan also consume ENV_VARs as config as well 🤯 That way it is easier to runipswas a cronjob and you can set your favorite default settings in the config. https://blacktop.github.io/ipsw/docs/commands/download/#download-ipsw-config - Need to analyze that OTA only iOS 14.8.1 release?? FYI, you can do that via
ipsw download ota --version 14.8.1 --device iPhone10,1Also pull remote kernelcaches AND dyld_shared_caches ?! WHAT?! 🤯 https://blacktop.github.io/ipsw/docs/commands/download/#download-ota - I finally got around to wiring up macOS full installer downloading/building. Checkout what Apple has available with
ipsw download macos --listand see how to download them here https://blacktop.github.io/ipsw/docs/commands/download/#download-macos - Need to know if your favorite version of iOS is still being signed by Apple? I know I do!! 🤔
