Failed to handle request:Error in SSL handshake

[huantianad]

When using altserver in server mode or using it to install an app, I'm getting this error:

Detected device:Phone
Starting notification connection to device: Phone
Sent wired server connection available response!

Did you manage to fix this error? I am having the exact same error using NixOS 23.05

Sorry, I haven't been using altstore for a while, so I haven't had any luck getting it to work on NixOS

[max-amb]

Ah, ok. I have sort of given up also, thanks for your reply anyway!

I wrote a nix package which is currently in unstable so if you need it you could check it out, the fix for the ssl handshake bug was to run alt-server as root with a custom anisette server. Just putting that there for any internet traveler that may come this way!

I'm having the same issue with a custom anisette server (https://github.com/Dadoum/Provision) and I even tried to install avahi-compat to fix libdns_sd.so not being loaded.

I also tried downloading the binary from github releases and I ran patchelf and it still errors about ssl handshakes... I'm about to buy an android phone at this point 😕

[max-amb]

Did you run it as root? Also, you do not need to run patchelf on the binary, as shown by the nixpkgs pr for this package!

i am running the server, and using a similar command to install IB2X. I get the same SSL handshake error whether or not the anisette -server is running. WHY IS THERE NO GOOD TUTORIAL FOR THIS ANYWHERE?
