Query Apple's FindMy Network with Python

Preriquisites on MacOS 14:

brew install uv
git clone https://github.com/malmeloo/FindMy.py
cd FindMy.py
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv sync

Fetching device locations on MacOS 14 (beware this must be done in graphical mode since the OS asks for the keystore password):

python3 -m findmy decrypt --out-dir accessories/

Then copy over the accessory json to another machine (i.e the one that runs a cronjob to fetch location data). On this machine:

python3 ./examples/airtag.py accessories/xxx.json

First time it logs in to your apple account, and stores the session data in account.json. On subsequent runs, the cached session is used.

Issues:

Conclusion: Didn't work on MacOS 15, use MacOS 14 !
