[SOLVED] Apps won’t refresh even after changing Anisette

[steady perch]

Ever since the default anisette stopped working, my apps haven’t been able to be refreshed. Even after I set the anisette URL to https://ani.sidestore.io and turning off Use preferred servers, the issue persists

[torpid idol]

Hello! Try updating to 0.5.0 in #announcements or #1134082649439354902

[heady sparrow]

is your wireguard vpn active

[steady perch]

Yes

[steady perch]

How am I supposed to do that?

[heady sparrow]

sideload in sidestore

[torpid idol]

Use AltServer on computer. Did you recently update iOS?

[steady perch]

Yeah, I can’t sideload either

[heady sparrow]

wat version are you on

[steady perch]

No, I’m on iOS 16.4

[heady sparrow]

ios and sidestore

wats your sidestore version

[molten rune]

Use altserver to sideload the new sidestore version

[heady sparrow]

^

[steady perch]

Will I lose my sideloaded + deactivated app data?

[heady sparrow]

no

[steady perch]

Alright

[heady sparrow]

it will only replace sidestore

[steady perch]

K

didnt work

i cant install altstore

[torpid idol]

?

[steady perch]

no app ids left

[torpid idol]

https://wiki.sidestore.io/guides/create-account.html

[steady perch]

BRO

wtf

i cant even use it

Okay what the f

Uck

Every time I try to press the create account button iTunes freezes

[heady sparrow]

welp skill issue

wait for 7 days

[steady perch]

💀

“The operation couldn’t be completed. AFC was unable to manage files on the device”

What does this mean?

@heady sparrow

[torpid idol]

Try regenerating your pairing file with jitterbugpair

[steady perch]

Ok

[steady perch]

@torpid idol it says the data is not in the correct format

[torpid idol]

What is your anisette server set to?

Make sure it's https://ani.sidestore.io with https

[steady perch]

i did

now its giving the same AFC error again

[torpid idol]

0.4.0?

[torpid idol]

If so, try a few times

[steady perch]

ye im on SideStore 0.4.0-nightly.2023.06.14.1+0dc526f

[torpid idol]

Yeah, def retry a few times. 0.4.0 buggy

[steady perch]

alright, ill try 5 times

it takes like 3 minutes before it tells me if it worked or not every time

[torpid idol]

Best option is AltServer

[steady perch]

wdym by that

[torpid idol]

Using AltServer to update SideStore

[steady perch]

how so?

[torpid idol]

AltServer's much more stable than SideStore 0.4.0

You can shift click sideload ipa on AltServer

[steady perch]

there isnt a sideload ipa option on altserver

[torpid idol]

Hold shift then click open

[steady perch]

oh right right

[torpid idol]

Or control/alt? Idr

[steady perch]

alr its doing its thing

LETS GO

[torpid idol]

Good stuff, hehe

[steady perch]

SideStore 0.5.0-nightly.2023.07.27.1+6e6dbd9

[torpid idol]

Buh

[steady perch]

now to refresh my apps, see if it works

[torpid idol]

I mean, good enough, lol

[steady perch]

bruh this shii still trying to refresh?

been like five minutes ffs

@torpid idol wtf is happening

the progress bar is going DOWN?!!?!

[torpid idol]

Hm?

[steady perch]

im trying to refresh

[torpid idol]

Screenshot?

[steady perch]

been waiting for ages for it to do its thing

it was almost to the end like 2 minutes ago

then i watched it go down

It just went even further down

[torpid idol]

Hmm interesting

Is your VPN on?

[steady perch]

yes :P

should i try making a new wireguard thingy?

[torpid idol]

Try relaunching SideStore and try refreshing it again

You don't have to blur the app, i'll delete it if it's rule breaking without banning you, i'm not that insane, lol

[steady perch]

alright 🙃

[torpid idol]

(Plus knowing what it is might help diagnosing)

I've never seen the bar go down though lmao

[steady perch]

i am so lost bro

it still isnt working

not even an error log or anything

[torpid idol]

Do other apps work?

[steady perch]

it just stops loading

[steady perch]

i tried reactivating delta and the same thing happened

it just freezes

[torpid idol]

Hmm

[steady perch]

nothing i do changes it

[torpid idol]

This is for sure 0.5.0

[steady perch]

i use nightly, that nightly?

[torpid idol]

You might need to delete/reinstall SideStore.

nightly == 0.5.0 rn

[steady perch]

is this file the nightly version?

or is it stable?

[torpid idol]

There is no nightly, only 0.5.0 stable rn

Idk why yours says 0.5.0 nightly, other than it being a misbuild

[steady perch]

weird

ok im on 0.5.0 stable

let me try this

yeah it just stopped again

not going any further no matter how long i wait

[torpid idol]

Which app?

[steady perch]

a sideloaded app

:)

ok it went down again

like WAY down

from what visually looked like 70-80% down to 20%

[torpid idol]

That's so weird O_o

Do you have minimuxer logs?

[steady perch]

never heard of it, so no

[torpid idol]

heh, Files > SideStore > minimuxer.log

[torpid idol]

Is the VPN on?

[steady perch]

YES

caps lock

yes

[torpid idol]

Try toggling it off and on again

[steady perch]

ok

Unable to install the app from the staging directory

weird

[torpid idol]

Toggle the VPN, restart SideStore and try again

[steady perch]

ok

yeah it just stopped again

[torpid idol]

Your device is cursed, lol

Anything wacky about your wifi?

[steady perch]

nah, its been pretty normal

nothing out of the ordinary showing up in router logs

the progress bar is going down again XD

[torpid idol]

You don't block Apple servers or anything weird?

[steady perch]

nope

[torpid idol]

14:29:49 [ERROR] No device connection is wacky

[steady perch]

yeah i noticed that too

weird asf

[torpid idol]

What time is it for you rn?

[steady perch]

3:43pm

[torpid idol]

Also maybe try a burner Apple ID?

Ah, so those are from an hour ago

[steady perch]

itunes crashes every time i try

[steady perch]

?

[torpid idol]

Those logs

14:29 is 24 hour clock

2:29

[steady perch]

wtf

that should be 1 hour ahead

[torpid idol]

Ah, hehe

[steady perch]

could it have to do with my system time or something?

[torpid idol]

Maybe our logger doesn't account daylight savings

It could

Make sure it's up to date/accurate

[steady perch]

yeah that makes sense

@torpid idol i have no idea why but after restarting my phone for the 4th time, it works now

wait wait

theres still an issue

i cant reactivate apps

[torpid idol]

Does it crash? You might have to retry

Also can you show your Advanced Settings / Settings > SideStore?

[steady perch]

ok it worked XD

i just restarted the app twice

[torpid idol]

Thank you, paranoia :)

[torpid idol]

Yeah, deactivating/reactivating might take a few tries

[steady perch]

it was very weird but it works now, ty for the help

[torpid idol]

Ofc ofc

iOS is a finicky lil thing

[steady perch]

fr

if only it was open source :D

[torpid idol]

Glad it's good now :)

Some of it is, not a lot, hehe

[steady perch]

just enough is to be able to do this cool stuff

im still waiting on a jailbreak for iOS 16.4 on an A12 chip or newer XD

[torpid idol]

Oh we're based off the non-open bits anyway, haha

[steady perch]

lool

[torpid idol]

Anisette is fully closed source and RE'd by us

[steady perch]

RE?

[torpid idol]

Reverse engineered

[steady perch]

oh right right

is that legal?

[torpid idol]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steady perch]

lol

[torpid idol]

They provide the functions for free with Apple Music Android, so

Probably

[steady perch]

fair point

[torpid idol]

(Fun fact, SideStore is powered off Android anisette internally, we just dress it up to look like a Mac )

[steady perch]

XDDD

thats pretty smart, ngl

[torpid idol]

Dadoum and others on the team are geniuses

[steady perch]

fr, props to you guys for making this work

sidestore is basically the closest you can get to permasigning apps without actually permasigning them LOL

[torpid idol]

Yep

It's like mobile Xcode, hehe

[steady perch]

fr, i'd like to say i understand a lot of this, but frankly im not smart enough XD

apple-related software stuff is confusing and messy

[torpid idol]

Why do you think SideStore hasn't had a stable update in 2 months

[steady perch]

rip

anyways, u just wanna chat since i got nothing going on rn?

[torpid idol]

lmao, as nice as that sounds, and as insane as it is to be speaking to William Afton, I've got other duties to attend to. It was nice helping you though! Hope to see you around

[steady perch]

alright, no worries. the help is much appreciated

see you around dude!

how do you close this lol

[THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED AND IDK HOW TO CLOSE IT]
