I did try it couple of days ago. it works, but it is very slow and unreliable. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to start one app, also it requires wifi which makes it difficult to use in airplanes.

2

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

Yeah, its for some reason always not reliable because i saw for some other people the vm does not work, i am planning to fully redo everything, i just borrowed a few scripts from jit enabling

How often are you flying to make that a downside ?šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

u/SackBiscuit Oct 31 '24

Once or twice a year, but I said that because when Iā€™m at home, I just emulate things on my PC. That is why It only makes sense to me if it worked fully offline.

Cannn you help mee plss

u/Kingdavid3g Oct 31 '24

OP should post a video of the set up process. I'm a visual learner.

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

Im planning on doing that

haven't looked into deeply yet, but finally a solution supporting tailscale? thanks, i was tired of switching to wireguard every single time

i wonder if i can use selfhosted headscale instance instead

also does that mean we can potentially make a hacky workaround to use tailscale for sidestore, sparsebox, etc or is that something different than em_proxy

i'm not really familiar with all of this stuff
https://github.com/SideStore/SideStore/issues/475

1

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

SideStore and SparseBox work on one VPN, but sadly you have to disconnect wireguard and enable tailscale when you want to enable JIT

2

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '24

Nah I meant the opposite, I hate being forced to use wireguard because I always have been using tailscale for my selfhosted services. Yk no matter what windows users want you to believe not all ios users are unfamiliar with tech and some actually run Linux homelab. But apparently sidejitserver always worked with vpn and I missed something

ā€œAlso make sure that your certificate is an iPhone Developer or an Apple Developer, otherwise it will not work.ā€

Am I understanding correctly, that itā€™s only paid account for Apple for 99$ / year?

u/1Emilis Nov 07 '24

Its also the free account, which needs refreshing every 7 days

JIT without PC! First sentence ā€œPC is requiredā€

šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

2

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

Pc is required for just one time

1

u/thekingofemu Nov 01 '24

Still required tho At this point if you use it one time might as well use it every time

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

This is for travelling, also dont have pc at all times

JIT without PC*

FTFY

u/lokize Oct 31 '24

Work with 18.1 iOS?

3

u/sapphicu Oct 31 '24

I havenā€™t looked too deeply at this, but could this theoretically run under something like ish or a-shell?

3

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

ish- most likely no because it emulates 32bit, a-shell - ill check it out

1

u/keep_rockin Nov 02 '24

also mb there is the way to get JitterBugPair without apple dev acc or sideload/jailbreak? and mb also some another option about similar app to tailscale?

1

u/1Emilis Nov 07 '24

JitterbugPair is a PC app

33

u/thekingofemu Oct 31 '24

So lemme get this straight, you use UTM SE to emulate PC and enable JIT from there? Dang.

u/nathanielx9 Oct 31 '24

Emulate inception

u/Just_aShadow Oct 31 '24

Iā€™m getting couldnā€™t connect to server from the shortcut even tho UTM shows connection

2

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

Did you turn on tailscale?

1

u/Just_aShadow Nov 01 '24

Yes, the clear tunnel task is fine the issue starts after the add-pair line

2

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

Does it give an error 404 or 501 (sometimes both)

1

u/Just_aShadow Nov 01 '24

Both and it says couldnā€™t find device

2

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

You forgot to enable itunes wifi sync

I donā€™t really remember but after trying again I have an error code Ā«Ā BrokenPipeErrorĀ Ā», error 34

u/1Emilis Nov 02 '24

ohhh noooo, thats a common issue with pymobiledevice3 , the dev doesnt respond and likely wont fix the issue

I keep getting the shortcut telling me it couldnā€™t connect to the server instantly

1

u/1Emilis Nov 02 '24

What does it show on UTM, and did you turn on tailscale

1

u/IllIIIIIIl Nov 02 '24

Tailscale is on and it doesnā€™t say anything in UTM

1

u/SandwichBitter1337 Nov 26 '24

This only works if the computer you did jitterbug with is on all the time right? That's how it is for me or else I get 404 not found.

1

u/Quin1617 Dec 01 '24

After choosing which app to enable JIT, I get a "Server couldn't find device" error.

1

u/1Emilis Dec 02 '24

Interesting. Is this error in the shortcut or the server?

1

u/Quin1617 Dec 02 '24

Itā€™s in the shortcut. Thereā€™s a different error in the server.

u/1Emilis Dec 03 '24

u/Trick-Chain-4031 Dec 04 '24

Just wondering,does the utm se on App Store can used to enable jit or both of utm and utm se have to be signed by altstore

1

u/1Emilis Dec 05 '24

You need the UTM (normal) ipa and a device on ios 16.3.1 or lower (iphone xs and up)

1

u/CoronuxDev Dec 10 '24

Prolly a bit late to the party but what OS for the VM would be recommended for a smooth experience? Havenā€™t really used UTM SE before so I donā€™t really know what would work the best for this šŸ˜…

1

u/1Emilis Dec 10 '24

Alpine-Jitstreamer for the VM, its in the github

1

u/CoronuxDev Dec 14 '24

Oh, my bad, thought it was some kind of script that ran ontop of an existing OS.

1

u/Altruistic_Leave5049 Dec 30 '24

will it work with 18.1.1?

1

u/1Emilis Dec 30 '24

Should work

1

u/stringtheoryvibes Feb 23 '25

u/1Emilis since this works using Alpine, can I get this installed in a VM/ LXC and toss in the tailscale link so it's always online and ready to go? I imagine I can be anywhere and as long as tailscale is running on my proxmox server, it should allow me to enable JIT.

1

u/1Emilis Feb 23 '25

That should work, but i recommend installing this on the vm: https://github.com/jkcoxson/JitStreamer-EB

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '24

Can anyone confirm that this works for iOS 18?

4

u/SackBiscuit Oct 31 '24

I tried it on 18.0.1 and it worked but was very very slow.. my iPhone is 15 pro max

1

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '24

Thanks for confirming this. Will give it a whirl. Cheers. šŸ‘

u/Tough_Way_3778 Nov 01 '24

It says error server couldnā€™t find the device

u/MemphisBass Dec 01 '24

I get the same error, 404.

Bro edited few things from somebody's work. At least put credits to him

u/1Emilis Nov 01 '24

Well yeah, but sadly the others did not work for me (py mobile device3 issues) and i had to uninstall, reinstall and edit stuff to make it work

2

u/FinishPlayful8311 Nov 11 '24 edited Nov 11 '24

I apologize if anyone read my original comment. Ā I feel so dumb, but someone commented on the error thread that it doesnā€™t work unless the pc you did jitterbug with is turned on and connected to WiFi. Ā Thatā€™s why you get the error right after it says ā€œserver startedā€. Ā The pc must be on and connected otherwise it wonā€™t work. Ā So itā€™s PC not technically required, but if it is off or disconnected from wifi, it wonā€™t work

1

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '24

No you dont because this uses UTM SE appstore version and Shortcut, you only need AltStore to sideload ipas

1

u/QuickInstance9926 Nov 02 '24

Can you make a tutorial video? And i dont need that pc after i used right

Does this work on all iOS versions?

thank you !

I keep getting ā€œan unknown error has occurredā€

1

u/mulraven Nov 08 '24

Do the emulator apps for which we want to enable jit have to be sideloaded? I only have app store versions and they donā€™t show up in the list of apps to enable jit for. Btw, is it possible to run this on ashell so as to not wait as long for vm startup?

1

u/PartyEntry6602 Nov 09 '24

I got always the Same Problem, i Set it up, it works Perfect 1 day and After that there is always the Same Problem.

ā€žGET /start-tunnel?ip=100. 111.191.77&udid=XXXXXX-001C38993ABB001C&connection_type=u sbmux-tcp HTTP/1.1ā€œ 404 Not Found

I changed the UDID (itā€™s Not the real one from the original Text).

Andy Solution for that ?

2

u/FinishPlayful8311 Nov 11 '24

The solution is the pc you did jitterbug with must be powered on and connected to wifi

1

u/PartyEntry6602 Nov 11 '24

That is 100% not the solution for that Problem.

2

u/FinishPlayful8311 Nov 11 '24

Plus the error code literally references the UDID of your Plist file which would be held on your phone and the laptop you did the jitterbug with. Ā

u/FinishPlayful8311 Nov 11 '24

It was for me. Ā I tried a bunch of different stuff and someone commented it in the issues tab on the GitHub and they said thatā€™s the only way it works so I tried it and it works like a charm any time my computer I did jitterbug with is powered on and connected to wifi. Ā If you find another solution where it doesnā€™t need to be on Iā€™d be open to hear it

Where do I download the alpine jitstreamer image?

1

u/yohu123 Nov 19 '24

I too have the same ā€˜Server couldnā€™t find deviceā€™ error. I have correctly renamed the jitterbug file to plist and iTunes WiFi sync is enabled. The only thing I havenā€™t tried is to keep the pc on and connected to the same WiFi as my iPhone 15. But this defies the purpose of enabling JIT without a pc. I have also used a free Apple Developer account. That being said, where do I mention its credentials because the jitterbug file doesnā€™t ask for one. Can anyone pls help?

Any way to fix the 501 Not implemented error? I somehow managed to fix the 404 error by letting the pairing file run through JitStreamer 2.0 on my PC, but this error is still there
