Unpacking XIP files on Linux:

  1. Install xar from https://mackyle.github.io/xar/
  2. Install pbzx from https://github.com/NiklasRosenstein/pbzx (use gcc -llzma -lxar -I /usr/local/include pbzx.c -o pbzx and copy the binary into your PATH)
  3. use xar -xf XIP_FILE -C /path/to/extract/to
  4. Change to the directory where you extracted the file.
  5. Use pbzx -n Content | cpio -i to extract the contents.
