About The Project

This project basically rewrites the apw project in Rust, because the apw project doesn't run on my M3 macOS 15.0.1 for no reason.

It utilises a built in helper tool in macOS 14 and above to facilitate this functionality.

Installation

Binary

Go to release page to download the binary according to you platform, and run xattr -c ./ipass-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz (to avoid "unknown developer" warning). Then extract the binary from the tarball:

tar -zxvf ./ipass-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz

Cargo

If you have cargo installed, you can easily install the binary using the command:

cargo install --git https://github.com/kezhenxu94/ipass
