Hi, there is something wrong again with their API ? cause I've tried multiple times login and don't get popup login in my phone but when I try login with browser it seems work well.

(solved) run with git-cli

hi, could you tell how can I use this tool?
I try to build binary exe file and run

✦3 ❯ ./ipatool auth login -e axxxxxx@xxxxxmail.com -p xxxxxxxxx  --verbose                 
[4] 18822
zsh: command not found: 8c

ipatool on  fix/invalid-auth-code [?] via 🐹 v1.24.1 
✦4 ❯ 8:05AM INF enter 2FA code:

[4]  + suspended (tty input)  ./ipatool auth login -e axxxxxx@xxxxxmail.com -p xxxxxxxxx

but the process was already terminated before I had a chance to enter the 2FA code.

Hi, I didn't build the exe, just download from release version, extract and then run exe from the terminal.

I ran the exe, but got this error:

D:\Downloads\Compressed\ipatool>ipatool-2.2.0-windows-amd64.exe auth login --email "xxx" --password "xxx"
4:35AM INF enter 2FA code:
xxxxxx
4:35AM ERR error="something went wrong" success=false

D:\Downloads\Compressed\ipatool>

Never figured out what that means.

I had the same problem. The error is potentially misleading. The failure appears after the 2FA code so it's tempting to assume that it's an authentication problem. But it may be a syntax problem.

If you check the help, it will show the flags for the login command. Try:

ipatool auth login --help

The email flag is listed there as '-e', and ambiguously '--email'. It seems like either one should work, but maybe try:

ipatool auth login -e me@domain.com

On my system this morning, I immediately got a notification on my other devices that I was trying to login on another device, just as I would if I were trying to login to iCloud. I took the 2FA code from that message and entered it in ipatool and, presto, I was in!
