Zsign + iOS 16 Support

Open QuixThe2nd opened this issue 2 years ago • 15 comments

Has anyone confirmed whether or not zsign is working on iOS 16? I'm unable to install apps on iOS 16 (even with developer mode enabled) and can't figure out whether it's an issue with Zsign or the profile itself. Any thoughts? (How I'm creating profiles right now: https://forum.starfiles.co/d/23-creating-an-ios-signing-certificate)

All is well for me

What profile and certificate type are you using?

Is developer mode active on your device?

Is developer mode active on your device?

Yes it is.

It seems most third party app stores that use zsign aren't working on iOS 16 (even though some are). What are they doing differently?

If you use the online installation, you should check the itms-services protocol for plist issues

Yeah I use itms-services. It works fine on iOS 12-15, just 16 that has issues, so i dont think the plist would have any issues, right?

Hello,

Currently zsign work 50/50 for iOS 16, iOS 16 didn't change it's code-signature i fact Issue affects over-the-air installations. so this has to be checked/fixed by Apple.

Hey @gyke69,

It seems that updated apps from 15 -> 16 work, but installing new apps just say "cannot install, please try again later."

Other signing services such appear to be working on 16 without a change, using Apple distribution certificate, while I tested with both iOS/Apple distribution and got the same "try again later" message.

Apples own (non-App Store) apps seem to be able to update/install OTA.

Hello,

We have to wait a bit more and then come to a conclusion. iOS 16 is pretty new so we definitely more reports.

Could it be a certificate issue? I've tried Apple Development and Apple Distribution with Ad Hoc profiles.

Hope this will help for a future and permanent solution

For all people that are having the “Unable to Install problem” ( doesn’t not work for me on Duolingo ) but you can give it a try with other apps.

Download sidelodly Load the ipa file and select “remove extension” and export.

That will generate a new ipa file , sign and install that ipa.

Doing that I was able al least to install the app and to open it ( then I got something went wrong inside app loading lessons )

If using iOS 16, in plist file bundle id must be correct with bundle id of ipa file.
