It handles three formats: legacy DeveloperDiskImage.dmg files for iOS versions before 17.0, newer personalized images split into APFS, BuildManifest.plist, and trustcache components, and Cryptex1 assets for alternative installation methods. The package normalizes file names across releases so download URLs remain predictable, and it exposes a simple API to fetch the appropriate variant for your use case.\n\nThe package depends only on requests and supports Python 3.9 through 3.13. It fetches payloads from raw.githubusercontent.com, which bypasses GitHub's REST API rate limits, so no authentication token is required. The repository is actively maintained and includes an update script for refreshing variants from a local Xcode installation on macOS.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to programmatically fetch Apple's DeveloperDiskImage files in an automated workflow. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and handles multiple image formats. Be aware of the GPLv3+ copyleft license if you plan to distribute derivative work, and note that some functionality (the update script) is macOS-only."},"id":"developer-disk-image","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/developer-disk-image","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/developer-disk-image.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/developer-disk-image/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"developer-disk-image","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Download DeveloperDiskImage ans Personalized images from GitHub"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":314876,"position":7694,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.0"}
