UPDATE

Although below are methods to extract the contents of a macOS package without actually installing it, the best way might be to create a blank disk image and install the package to this disk image in order to inspect the package contents. To do so:

  • Open the Disk Utility app.
  • Choose "File > New Image > Blank Image". Alternatively, simply press CMD-N.
  • Set the parameters and click on "Save" to create the blank disk image.
  • After creation, it should be already mounted. If not, you can mount it by navigating to the directory that it is placed at and double clicking on the disk image file.
  • Run the package installer by double clicking on the package file.
  • Select this newly created blank disk image as the destination and install it.
  • If the script is preventing you from installing by saying, for example, "macOS isn't installed", you can:

How to resign an .ipa

How to Resign an iOS App

Let's say you receive an app (e.g. MyApp.ipa) from another developer, and you want to be able to install and run it on your devices (by using ideviceinstaller, for example).

Or your certificates and provision profiles have expired and you want to provide a new build to your clients without having to make a new build on the latest XCode or iOS SDK.

Prepare New Signing Assets

The first step is to attain a Provisioning Profile which includes all of the devices you wish to install and run on. Ensure that the profile contains a certificate that you have installed in your Keychain Access (e.g. iPhone Developer: Some Body (XXXXXXXXXX) ). Download the profile (MyProfile.mobileprovision) so you can replace the profile embedded in the app.

#!/bin/bash
set -e
CONTENTS=$(tesseract -c language_model_penalty_non_dict_word=0.8 --tessdata-dir /usr/local/share/tessdata/ "$1" stdout -l eng | xml esc)

Guide to extract the root file system and decompress the kernel cache for iOS.

iOS File System Extraction

For iOS 10 and Up

Starting with iOS 10.0 Apple decrypted the file system and kernel cache. All you have to do is download an IPSW, change the extension to .zip, and unarchive it. The largest size disk image inside the unarchived zip will be the root file system. Simply mount it to see its contents.

For iOS 9 and Below

Create a private fork of a public repository

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

  1. Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare [email protected]:usi-systems/easytrace.git

Use macOS-style shortcuts in Windows

Use macOS-style shortcuts in Windows / keyboard mappings using a Mac keyboard on Windows

ℹ️ There is a newer alternative project that does similar things and more, check it out at https://github.com/stevenilsen123/mac-keyboard-behavior-in-windows

Make Windows PC's shortcut act like macOS (Mac OS X) (using AutoHotkey (ahk) script)

With this AutoHotKey script, you can use most macOS style shortcuts (eg, cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) on Windows with a standard PC keyboard.

How does it work
