Hi again :)

Is it possible to download macos beta images also? I tried both ipsw download beta <build> and ipsw download macos --build <build> but with no success.

I believe what is supported is release IPSW for M1 macs (sadly apple doesn't publish beta IPSWs for macOS (yet). However you can download beta OTAs for M1 macOS.

I did add the ability to download macOS installers, but didn't have an extra system to try the output installer on (though I guess could have tried a VM or another partition. You can see what installers are currently able to downloaded with ipsw download macos --installer

I haven't "wired it up yet" because I haven't tested it, but it does (there is already code in ipsw to) create the installers, however due to some sandboxing in macOS you have to avoid running it from certain directories.

I can hook it up today if you want to try and let me know 😉

I didn't dive deep into the code, but this project seems looks like it can accomplish the task probably by scraping a different source.

It'll be cool to have the option on ipsw also

Yeah, that functionality does exist in a ipsw currently it's just not exposed. I'll try to expose it tonight. Just to confirm though, you want beta "installers" and NOT beta macOS IPSWs correct?

Didn't look too deep into that. I cannot extract the .ipsw from the installer? if it just downloads from the internet it's not great, but still fine.

@doronz88 would you be willing to enter you dev account user/password? I'm currently working in the feature/dev-portal branch and am really close to having a working solution (which would allow as fast as they are posted) beta downloads of ALL platforms, including Xcode, KDKs etc etc

but just wanted to know if anyone other than me would use it? It supports 2factor auth too 😎

That would be amazing 😍

Later on I'll make it "cron-able" but here it is - #30 🎉

That would also be great 😃
