You have questions, need support and or just want to talk about ipsw?
Here are ways to get in touch with the ipsw community:
-
macOSIPSW etc support is sometimes brokenAutomated testing of
ipswis challenging as it requires a lot of resources to test all the different IPSW flavors and OS versions etc. No CI/CD can really handle that unless I want to wait forever for it to run on each commit. Please create an issue and I'll fix it as soon as I can ❤️ (NOTE: a comprehensive test suite is in the roadmap so I can at least test on the few local IPSWs I have)
