IOSApp Any Version Capture Package Downgrade Tutorial

TL;DR / [Geek Summary]:

• Version Rollback: Defeat bloatware and ads by forcing the download of legacy IPA images via packet interception.
• Intercept Logic: Use legacy iTunes (v12.6.x) paired with interceptors to inject specific version IDs into download requests.
• Persistence Hack: Modify iTunesMetadata.plist to physically block App Store update notifications, ensuring version stability.

Lanzou: iOS old version app download v5.2.zip

iTunes v12.6.5.3 download 64-bit 32-bit

# Postscript

1. Aisi Assistant also has the historical version of each APP, and you can choose to install it, but the historical version installed through Aisi Assistant cannot get updates through the App Store!

2. The iTunes used must be version 12.6.3.6 or below

3. Block updates: Change the suffix of the downloaded ipa file to .zip, and after opening it, delete the iTunesMetadata.plist file (Other files are protected by signatures, please do not modify them, otherwise you need to re-sign the ipa), and after completion, change the file suffix back to .ipa, and then use Aisi or install it online to not receive updates in the App Store!
