Our solution lets users download an app once, to their computer, and deploy it to any number of devices, to any Apple ID. As it stands, every single mobile device will need to individually download the same app, resulting in completely wasted bandwidth. Many users have multiple devices or manage their household's devices, on which the same apps are often deployed. There are quite a few use cases where maintaining an app library (.IPA packages) on a computer is useful: There are now only 2 'official' ways left for businesses to manage app deployment: MDM, which is not suitable for smaller scale deployment, and Apple Configurator, which simply isn't available on Windows at all.Īpple did release an iOS 11 compatible iTunes 12.6.3, because quote 'certain business partners might still need to use iTunes to install apps', but that constitutes a temporary workaround more than a long term solution.įor small to medium sized businesses and educational institutions which often only have Windows PCs, iMazing's app management features are not just practical, they're literally becoming the only viable solution. We strongly hope that Apple won't block iMazing's app download capabilities: we've done our best to provide tools which many iOS users truly need.ĭownloading apps to Windows PC: why it's a big deal To our knowledge, iMazing is the only non-Apple software to enable users to download their purchases from the iOS App Store. We decided to build a completely new app management section, which we are releasing in iMazing 2.5 (macOS) and iMazing 2.4 (Windows) as part of our 100% free features. The strongest request by far was app download (.IPA).Īfter a week of R&D, we found that we could indeed download apps just like iTunes used to. Since iTunes 12.7 completely dropped app management features, our users have been asking if iMazing could help. iMazing's free app management tools will surely help users who depended on iTunes 12.6.5 for downloading IPAs to their computer and deploying them manually. We're bumping it because iTunes 12.6.5, the special version of iTunes which retained access to the App Store, is not compatible with macOS 10.14 Mojave. This post was originally published on the 21st of November 2017 when we introduced our new app management features.
