# I. Notes
- **iTunes 12.6.5 only works on Windows**. Apple killed iTunes 12.6.5 on macOS. Even if you manage to get iTunes 12.6.5 on your Mac, the download feature will not work.
- The Guide seems complicated, but it's very easy to follow. Plus, you only need to do Step 1, 2, and 3 for the first time (There are 5 steps in total).
- The Guide seems complicated, but it's very easy to follow. Plus, you only need to do Step 1, 2, and 3 once (There are 5 steps in total).
- Jailbreak is **NOT** needed. Since the iPA comes directly from iTunes, it's encrypted and can be installed without Sideload. The IPA is 100% legit!
- You can get the old version of any apps as long as that version is still **available** on AppStore.

- Method 3: Look at the buyProduct content and search for `softwareVersionExternalIdentifier`, with the bottom in the list being the latest version, and the rest is just trial and error.

- Go back to iTunes and download Facebook, again! **Charles Proxy** will automatically show the **Breakpoint popup**.
- **Edit Request** > **XML Text** > Replace the current `Build Number Version` of Facebook with the `Build Number` of **Facebook v161.0** (`826067593`) > **Execute** > **Execute**. Now iTunes will download **Facebook v161.0** instead of the latest version.
- In some cases, the **Breakpoint popup** can appear twice, simply edit the current `Build Number Version` like above one more time and you're good to go.
