Automate Cydia Impactor sideloading process through Apple Script (on MacOS)

Description

This Apple Script automates Cydia Impactor sideloading process (eg. uploading IPA file to Apple TV) on a MacOS computer.

My personal use case is having ProvenanceTV re-signed on my Apple TV every 7 days (to bypass non-signed IPA - free developer - lifetime Apple's limitation). Script is running on a 24/7 Mac Mini every saturday at 4am (using Apple Scheduler: launchd).

• Cydia Impactor installed on MacOS computer
