Issues with Downloading Applications Using ipatool on Kali Linux

[Kali-Lucy]

What happened?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to use ipatool on Kali Linux, but I'm facing difficulties with downloading applications. I have successfully authenticated and can perform searches without any issues; however, the problem arises during the download process.

I searched for similar cases here but couldn't find any. Below, I’ve included some images and command outputs to help explain the issue:
Just to demonstrate that the tool is partially functioning. When I execute a search, for example:

./ipatool search Forbes

I receive the expected results:

Now, onto the core issue.

When I execute a download:

./ipatool download --bundle-identifier com.magappzine.forbesmagazine

I got this:

4:56PM ERR error="failed to reoslve the country code: country code mapping for store front () was not found" success=false

However, no requests were captured in my Burp monitoring. And since I know very little about GO, I also sought assistance from ChatGPT, where I was advised to run the following command:

go test -v ./...

which resulted in:

I noticed that some things failed, but I didn't know what to do next based on that response. Turning to ChatGPT again, I was instructed to run the following command:

go test -v ./ipatool download --bundle-identifier com.magappzine.forbesmagazine

and the result was:

And listing the directory /usr/local/go/src/ contents, there is indeed no folder named 'download'

Any suggestions on what might be causing the issue?
I appreciate any and all help in advance!
