I have some png images extracted from IPA files and I want to get the original PNG back, I was advised that did the task required so I downloaded it and tried running the following command: pngcrush -fix icon.png icon1.png But I get a libpng error. I don't know if libpng needs to be downloaded as well, since the error doesn't says that I need a different version of libpng, just says: While reading icon.png: pngcrush caught libpng error: incorrect header check I also tried this one: pngcrush -revert-iphone-optimizations icon.png icn1.png And pngcrush acts as if didn't knew the command. Any ideas on what to do?
