Overview

Store both types of Apple's DeveloperDiskImage files:

• DeveloperDiskImage.dmg & DeveloperDiskImage.dmg.signature
  • Used for each iOS version < 17.0
• The new Personalized images, but splitted to:
  • APFS
  • BuildManifest.plist
  • Trustcache

The split of the new format is requires for OS* other than macOS that will have trouble extracting the original APFS image inside: ~/Library/Developer/DeveloperDiskImages.

Python package

Additionally, this repo provides a python API for accessing this repository. You can install it as follows:

python3 -m pip install -U developer_disk_image

Example usage

from developer_disk_image.repo import DeveloperDiskImageRepository

repo = DeveloperDiskImageRepository.create()

# will get both the APFS and the signature file
developer_disk_image = repo.get_developer_disk_image('16.4')

# will get all necessary files for mount
personalized_disk_image = repo.get_personalized_disk_image()
