Installing IPAs on the M1

Installing IPAs on Apple Silicon (M1)

  1. Open Apple Configurator 2 and plug in your iPhone or iPad
  2. Click Add, login to the App Store and select the application you want to install
  3. Open up ~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets and wait until the TemporaryItems directory appears
  4. Copy the application from the newly created temporary directory, but do note that it will disappear once Apple Configurator is done installing
  5. Double click the .ipa on your Apple Silicon (M1) device and install it
  6. Fix permissions on the installed application by running sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<your_app>.app (if you skip this step, you're unable to start the application)

Note that it's easier if you already have the application installed, as Apple Configurator will prompt you about overwriting the existing installation, at which point the temporary file (the .ipa) will still exist, until you choose an action in the prompt.

Export TOTP tokens from Authy

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.
