ERROR: InstallationLookupFailed about ifuse HOT 14 CLOSED

Same problem (though mine fails on --documents APPID), this looks like new behavior on 8.3

from ifuse.

This is a problem at a lower level than ifuse. When I tried to create a HouseArrestClient against VendDocuments I got the same error. For me, VendContainer worked OK so at least there is a suitable workaround.

@dabvid apparently iOS 8.3 has new restrictions on document sharing: http://www.iclarified.com/48418/ios-83-blocks-file-manager-software-from-accessing-app-data

We just figured out a solution to bring the sandbox access back for those Apps that willing to. Now sandbox access will only be available for Apps having "UIFileSharingEnabled" key set to true in their info.plist [ iPhoneOSKeys.html ] and the access is restricted to /Documents directory only.

Thanks @kekiefer
Was suspecting it could be related to 8.3 but couldn't verify.

from ifuse.

In the past, I've used the --container functionality both for "forensics" (poking around to see how other apps work) and for development. I've found that with 8.3,--container no longer works with app-store installed apps, but --container does still work with apps that are deployed via XCode and Ad-Hoc distribution.

from ifuse.

What exactly is "container", and does this work if I upgrade my iOS from 8.3?

from ifuse.

The --container flag mounts the entire directory tree for an app, instead of just the Documents directory. Previously, it could be used to poke around in various apps private data, databases, etc. Now it only works for apps that you've written and installed yourself via Xcode.

from ifuse.

Closing as already answered in #24 (comment) and further. It's not a bug in ifuse, Apple tightened Sandbox access restrictions. Only Apps with "UIFileSharingEnabled" can be accessed.

So I have no way of getting a zip file to an old application I use :( Thanks Apple.(9.2.1)

from ifuse.

I don't think they blocked it on 9.2.1, if the app supports iTunes-file-sharing. See for example my writeup here http://tunesviewer.sourceforge.net/ios-transfer-made-easier/

from ifuse.

From what I can tell it was blanket enabled for everything and then changed to only ones that request the permission. So for any older applications you're screwed. I even tried iFunbox on Windows and it said that the change made it so you have to be jailbroken to access these applications on 8.x+.

@programmin1 Arch's libimobiledevice doesn't seem to ship with python2 bindings. Is there a way to try this out?

EDIT: Okay so libimobiledevice-git solved the import for that but now it complains about missing plist bindings. I have libplist-git installed and the AUR package mentions running python2 so I assume it generates the bindings.

EDIT2:

Configuration for libplist 1.13.0:
-------------------------------------------

  Install prefix: .........: /usr
  Python bindings .........: no

I've specified the path to python2 but don't see any configure option for enabling it.

EDIT3: Installing cython2 cleared that up but as it turns out libimobiledevice didn't actually generate the python bindings. I reconfigured with cython2 installed but now libimobieldevice is saying

Configuration for libimobiledevice 1.2.1:
-------------------------------------------

  Install prefix: .........: /usr
  Debug code ..............: no
  Python bindings .........: no
  SSL support backend .....: OpenSSL

  Now type 'make' to build libimobiledevice 1.2.1,
  and then 'make install' for installation.

from ifuse.

So does it restrict access for '--container' flag or for '--documents' flag too? Because mine doesn't work for both. (iOS 9.0.1, libimobiledevice 1.2.0-1, ifuse 1.1.3)

from ifuse.

iOS 13. Both --container & --documents flag does not work
