AirTag Data Extraction Tool Development

macOS Developer - AirTag Data Extraction. ### Project Overview Seeking a specialized **macOS developer** to create a proof of concept based on the AirtagAlex project. Key Requirements: - Extract the following data from AirTags: - Location data - Battery status - Proximity alerts - Support both GUI and CLI interfaces **Reference repository:** [login to view URL] **Reference Video:** [login to view URL] ### What is AirtagAlex? AirtagAlex is a shell script that extracts AirTag metadata from macOS `[login to view URL]` file, including: - GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude) - Geocoding information - Precision range data - Battery status - CSV export functionality ### Project Objectives - **Implement and test** AirtagAlex script across macOS versions Sonoma 14.3.1) - **Document findings** and propose improvements - **Create optional GUI** for easier usage ## Technical Requirements - **Advanced macOS experience** - Deep understanding of **macOS file system** - Expertise in **shell scripting** (bash/zsh) - Proficiency with **command-line tools** (jq, grep, awk) - Understanding of **system permissions** and Full Disk Access - Experience with **binary file analysis** - Strong UI/UX design skills for creating intuitive interfaces - Familiarity with CLI tools and commands - Knowledge of Apple's **Find My protocol** ### MANDATORY Hardware Requirements for POC ⚠️ You MUST have these to apply: Required Hardware: Mac computer compatible with macOS Sonoma Check compatibility: [login to view URL] Must be able to run macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 or later No virtual machines or simulators accepted Physical AirTag devices (minimum 2 units) Must be your own personal AirTags Registered to your Apple ID Active and functional for testing ### Deliverables ## Phase 1 - Proof of Concept: Feasibility report with technical analysis of current limitations Working POC script demonstrating core functionality Compatibility matrix by macOS version (tested up to August 2025) Technical documentation of findings and approach Recommendation report for Phase 2 implementation Demo video showing POC functionality ## Phase 2 - Production Implementation: (Contracted separately after successful POC) Production-ready solution. Comprehensive documentation for installation and usage Solution proposals for recent macOS versions Optimized performance for large datasets Commented source code with version control Optional GUI for end-user accessibility ### To Apply - Include in your proposal: ⚠️ FIRST - Confirm you have the mandatory hardware: Screenshot of your Mac's "About This Mac" showing Sonoma compatibility Photo/screenshot of your AirTags in the Find My app Confirmation that you understand this requires physical testing on real hardware
