The app is available in either a x86_64 binary for Intel based Mac computers or an arm64 binary for Apple Silicon based Mac computers. You must download the correct binary that matches your computers architecture.

Known issues

  • If the app icon in a watchOS app is compiled into an Assets.car file, it won't be made available to Appfigurate and the default placeholder icon will be used instead.
