.IPA file extracter for Apple Configurator
import os
import shutil
"""
Steps to retrieve the IPA file from the Configurator app:
1. Install Apple Configurator from the Mac App Store and sign in
2. Connect your iOS device to your Mac
3. Select "Add > Apps..." and search for the app you want to install, click "Add"
4. The newer Apple Configurator deletes the IPA after installing it, so you'll need to use this tool to grab it
5. Run this script and wait for the app to be installed
NOTE: Remember to modify appsDir and ipaDir accordingly below
"""
appsDir = "/Users/user/Library/Group Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileApps" # Configurator app directory
ipaDir = "/Users/user/Desktop/IPAs" # Directory to extract to
if not os.path.exists(ipaDir):
