Bluesky's age assurance sucks, here's how to work around it.

Bluesky has implemented age verification measures in response to regional laws that restrict access, prompting users to verify their age through Epic Games' Kids Web Services before they can access adult content.

This sucks, but thankfully there are ways to work around it.

Before diving in: I encourage you to read this entire document, including the

Downloading older versions of iOS apps using ipatool

👉 ipatool is an open-source tool developed by Majd, a highly trustworthy and talented developer in the iOS community. Recently, ipatool got a significant update that allows users to easily download older versions of iOS apps on macOS/Windows/Linux!.

👉 Since ipatool doesn't have a graphical user interface (GUI), some of you might think it's tricky to use. But trust me, it's not! Here's a simple guide if you're still a bit scared of the terminal. (Tbh, everything in this *guide can be found on ipatool's repo)

👉 Note: You need to log into your Apple ID via ipatool for the tool to work. Unless you prioritize security above all, you can trust logging into your Apple account with ipatool. As explained earlier, it’s an open-source tool developed by a well-known and reliable developer, minimizing security risks to the lowest level.

Wrapper

First, you'll need a wrapper that supports arm64 architecture. We'll use https://github.com/WorldObservationLog/wrapper/tree/arm64 for this tutorial.

You can grab the latest release for arm64 on https://github.com/WorldObservationLog/wrapper/releases/tag/Wrapper.arm64.latest.

Let's download and extract the prebuilt binary.

	Upscaling stuff with 4x digimanga v2 and other stuff

	Downscaling use imagemagick, although I feel like using VapourSynth would be better since I can do a lot more post-processing.

	Halftones:
	- magick mogrify -format png -alpha off -colorspace Gray -level 0.2%,100% -filter Catrom -resize xXXXX -monitor -path ./output/ ./input/*.png
	Gray/Color:
	- magick mogrify -format png -alpha off -filter RobidouxSharp -resize xXXXX -monitor -path ./output/ ./input/*.png

	Alpha off and colorspace Gray to force grayscale, level to 0.2% black since black level are not really #000000 sometimes.
