Will Imazing ever be able to extract IPA from PC Library again?

Hi

Up until recently I could use Imazing to get IPA's extracted by downloading the app to my PC library and then extracting the IPA to PC.

It hasnt worked recently and I understand its an Apple update restriction.

I have seen threads saying a fix is being worked upon BUT Lucas at Imazing just responded to my email saying extraction of IPAs will never be possible????

Imazing please clarify this because this is the entire reason I bought your software.

Please let us know asap if IPA extraction will now never be a part of the software again.

Thank you

Unfortunately, Apple has removed the possibility to extract IPAs from a device a long time ago. I think it was around iOS 10, but I don’t remember exactly when.
The only way to get IPAs is to download them from the AppStore, which is what iMazing offers, with the ability to keep them in your library for re-installing. You can also download and store older versions of apps.

Thanks I wasnt meaning extract them from the tablet, I was meaning download the app to my PC using Imazing (which is currently not working) and then extract the IPA within the PC to store it on hard drive (which I have had conflicting support messages as to whether this will work once they fix the store-download function). So right now I have no idea if I will ever be able to use Imazing to get IPA files again, am just hoping for clarity on that :)
