App Fixer 1.7 For Macos

How to Sign iOS Apps using Cydia Impactor

1. Download the latest version of Cydia Impactor from its official site. Don't forget to choose between the three supporting OS.

2. Locate the installer and open it. For macOS users, just 'Drag to install Impactor in your Applications folder'.

3. Connect your iOS device to the computer

4. Locate the .IPA file that you want to install. I recommend moving it to the Desktop.

5. Open Cydia Impactor, it will recognize your iPhone or iPad

6. Now, click on the IPA, then drag & drop it over to Impactor. If you do it right, you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID and password.

Once that happen, Cydia Impactor will take control of the rest. All it's going to do is verify and install the application on your iOS device.

A free iTunes login credentials will only let you sign IPA apps for a week (7 days). After the certificate expired, the app will crash every time you try to open it. The solution to this problem is going through the tutorial above again

An Error Occurred While Using Cydia Impactor

That's normal. Usually, the displayed popup should tell you what went wrong.

It means you have Two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple ID and you to need to generate an app-specific password instead of using your default iTunes password. To obtain an app-specific password, sign in to here, scroll down toward the middle of the page, and click on 'Generate Password…'. Give it a name and click Create.


GrandPerspective is a small utility application for macOS that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system.It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space.It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size.Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.

Download GrandPerspective from Sourceforge for free or from the App Store for $2.99.You'll get the same app either way.

So what's the difference?When you get it from the App Store you know that it has passed Apple's review and quality control, you receive automatic updates, you help cover distribution costs and you support further development.

Download it

GrandPerspective has been released as Open Source under the GNU General Public License.The official release files are available from the GrandPerspective download area at SourceForge.The latest release (Version 2.5.4) consists of two files:

  • GrandPerspective-2_5_4.dmg

    This is the main release file.It contains all you need to run the application.To install it, open the disk image and drag the application icon onto your Applicationsfolder, or wherever you want to put it onto your file system.Next run the application by clicking on the icon.

    This file also contains translations in:

    • Chinese (Simplified),
    • German,
    • Italian,

    This contains the source code of the application.It consists of the Objective C source code, as well as various auxiliary files, such as the XIB files that are used to construct the GUI.

System requirements

The latest release requires the following:

  • macOS 10.9 or higher
  • Intel processor
App fixer 1.7 for macos version

If you have an older system, you need to download an older version of GrandPerspective:

  • GrandPerspective 1.7.0 still supports macOS 10.7 and 10.8
  • GrandPerspective 1.5.3 still supports macOS 10.6
  • GrandPerspective 1.5.1 still supports macOS 10.5 and PowerPC processors

App Store

GrandPerspective is also distributed via the App Store as requested by several users.This exposes the app to a wider audience, including some who will only install software distributed via the App Store.I charge a small fee of $2.99 for the app when it is downloaded from there to cover the required developer program membership and other development costs.

Note: Updates here lag the releases available via SourceForge by a few weeks.Should SourceForge users find bugs in the new release, these will be fixed before making the (updated) application available on the App Store.

Related software

GrandPerspective is certainly not the first of its kind. Tree maps have been around for a while, and their application to file systems is not novel either. A few other disk usage visualisation tools that employ tree maps are:

  • Sequoiaview, which is the one I bumped into first, because as it happens it was developed in Eindhoven, which is where I currently live.
  • KDirStat and WinDirStat I need to mention, if only because they are also hosted on SourceForge. I haven't tried them though.
  • Disk Inventory X is noteworthy because it also runs on macOS.

App Fixer 1.7 For Macos Catalina

So, why GrandPerspective?Well, as you may have guessed it's a fun little coding project and I needed to pick something to code on my new Mac Mini.Having said that, it does have a few things going for it.Firstly, GrandPerspective is developed specifically for macOS, which narrows the immediate competition down to Disk Inventory X, as far as I'm aware.Secondly, GrandPerspective has its own way of visualising directory trees.The layout algorithm that is used is simple and effective, but novel to the best of my knowledge.Also, the file rectangles are drawn to be as clear and unobtrusive as possible. Whether you like it or not is a matter of taste, but you've got a choice.Thirdly, GrandPerspective will intentionally be kept as basic as possible.It should do one thing only, and do it well. That means it is a lean and mean application.GrandPerspective's memory requirements and the size it occupies on disk are pretty minimal.For those concerned about disk space, the latter must count for something, right?Finally, it has a cute logo that will enhance anyone's Dock. ;-)
