Allow downloading hidden APP Urls

[nsauter]

Description

There is a possibility to upload your app to the App Store but only allow users with a specific link to download them. Otherwise the App will not be visible for users. It would be great to have an option to paste this URL and download the ipa from that.

Can you provide an example link? It doesn't have to be functional, just to see the URL pattern.

[nsauter]

The URL should look like a "normal" App URL. Something like: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/APPNAME*/id1234567890

*I think APPNAME is case insensitive here since the app name itself is in capital letters but the link is generated with all lowercase.

The APPNAME* part is to my knowledge ignored by the server, you can even remove that whole part. It is just there search engine optimization and may be for users, giving them a name you can read.

Have you tried downloading such an app using the id component and supplying it as --app-idparameter to ipatool?
