Add App Inventory module for parsing-coverage analysis#1680
Merged
Conversation
…y in LAVA Three new artifacts write machine-readable coverage data into _lava_artifacts.db so batch tooling can diff installed apps against what the tooling parsed: - extractionInfo: LEAPP version, input path/name, extraction type, iOS version and device identifiers (data_ark.plist, iTunes Info.plist) - installedAppInventory: one row per app container (bundle/data/group/ plugin) with bundle ID, container path and UUID, from applicationState.db and container metadata plists - appFileInventory (lava_only): every file in the extraction with size, modified time and the app container it belongs to, enumerated from the seeker listings without extracting anything
The inventory artifacts are meant for developer tooling (batch-leapp coverage analysis), not the main user base. Moved the module to scripts/alternate_artifacts/, which is only loaded when the CLI is run with --custom_artifacts_path scripts/alternate_artifacts. The GUI and default CLI runs are unaffected (598 plugins as before; 601 with the flag). Added a README documenting usage.

Summary
Adds
scripts/alternate_artifacts/appInventory.py— three developer-only artifacts that write machine-readable coverage data into the LAVA SQLite output (_lava_artifacts.db), so downstream tooling (batch-leapp) can determine which installed apps were NOT parsed by iLEAPP. Artifact-level only; no core/framework changes.Not part of normal runs. The module lives in
scripts/alternate_artifacts/, which is only loaded with the existing CLI option:The GUI and default CLI runs are unaffected (598 plugins load as before; 601 with the flag).
Artifacts
paths: None, always runs when loaded): LEAPP name/version, input path/name, extraction type, report folder, iOS version, device name/time zone (data_ark.plist) and iTunes backup Info.plist identifiers. Fills the gap that device identifiers were previously HTML-only.compatibilityInfoblobs +.com.apple.mobile_container_manager.metadata.plistfiles. Bundle containers matched with[Cc]ontainerssince they live under lowercase/private/var/containers/on device.lava_onlydue to size): every file in the extraction with size and modified time, mapped to its app container (GUID→bundle map for FFS; AppDomain prefixes for iTunes backups). Enumerates the seeker's existing listings (zip/tar central directory, dir walk, iTunes manifest) — no extraction/copying.Modified Time is stored as text, not LAVA datetime: zip archives carry zone-less DOS timestamps, so UTC coercion would be wrong. Tar/dir/iTunes values are UTC.
