ipsw download ipa windows: access is denied

[mikeo]

What happened?

⨯ failed to download app YouTube: Watch, Listen, Stream: failed to download app: failed to download file: failed to rename C:\Users***~1\AppData\Local\Temp\appstore.ipa2465566577.download to C:\Users***~1\AppData\Local\Temp\appstore.ipa2465566577: rename C:\Users***~1\AppData\Local\Temp\appstore.ipa2465566577.download C:\Users***~1\AppData\Local\Temp\appstore.ipa2465566577: Access is denied.

cant download any ipa from the appstore
(of course its in temp folder tho but idk if its completed everything it needs to do
like apply patches idk)
works on wsl but just doesnt work on windows : (

i lowkey tried to fix it myself but i am stupid
probably more of an issue of renaming the .download file to replace the ipa file
cuz i tried having a completely different output file and it doesnt have the same issue

How can we reproduce this?

ipsw download ipa --search youtube
windows

ipsw version

Version: 3.1.564, BuildCommit: 0bee5f0552e83074752b38aeb5c4f4b3bd2ddb61

I think this might be to me being too strict when creating folder with 0o750 perms?

I think I'll open them up in a test branch if you wouldn't mind testing?

[blacktop]

does it work if you don't run in Temp? or download to Temp?

[mikeo]

well im running it in desktop folder but the file downloads to temp

[blacktop]

I wonder if related to this?

i dont think its the same issue as that because youre not renaming a folder but a file. i dont really know golang too well but ill try see if i can fix it for myself. i had a bit of success with avoiding using the same file name ( mikeo@ce60db6 ) but im really new to ipsw and the apple ecosystem and i couldnt get the ipa to actually run

i asked around and someone said its because os.rename is not atomic on non-unix platforms, and to quote:

if it has to remove the old file, then rename the new one, there's a race condition in that a new file may come around with the same name after the old one is removed

it is not an urgent issue since windows users can and should use WSL anyway
