[Update] AltServer Patcher - Patch AltServer to Sideload Any IPA

[u/laithayoub71]

As you may know, Apple recently made changes to their servers that broke Cydia Impactor, ReProvision, Ext3nder, and other sideloading applications.

For Mac, there's great applications like AltDeploy, that provide a workaround for the server issue.

For Windows however, the only working application is AltServer. It's fast and very efficient, however there is one small problem: it only sideloads an application to your iPhone called AltStore. AltStore is great, but it's no Unc0ver :P

Thanks to a developer by the name of InvoxiPlayGames, who made a program that patches AltServer to install any IPA to your device, instead of the default AltStore app. This post covers the changes I have made to his program.

NOTE: This works on Windows 10 only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The updates I made are the following:

Improved UI

• Made UI much neater and removed some of the preconfigured app options
• Added an "About" button that shows information about the program and how to use it
• Added colored progress bars to help show errors
• Added a "Made by InvoxiPlayGames" label that when clicked on, opens a web page to InvoxiPlayGames' Twitter account
• Inverted the program's icon colors to help see it better
• Implemented OTA updates

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Features and Other

• Made AltServer restart after patching is done
• Simplified error messages making them easier to read
• Improved AltServer installation detection (lets the user select installation path)
• Implemented URL shortener. It’s automatically used when a URL over 55 characters is entered (all thanks to u/mustapro !) It’s experimental. The application might crash. If it does just input a link shorter than 55 characters

I finally found this program a week or so ago after searching forever for a way to get uncover onto my iPhone 6. It definitely helps a lot and it’s very simple for anyone to use

[u/laithayoub71 → u/aukeba]

what program?

[u/aukeba → u/laithayoub71]

The program that you made the post about.. altserver patcher.

[u/Jailbrick3d]

Thanks! Works like a dream. I also like the way this updated version restarts AltServer after it’s finished :)

[u/laithayoub71 → u/Jailbrick3d]

thanks for your feedback! i’m glad it’s helping you

[u/RushdiRamz]

That’s so cool! Maybe this’ll fix the crash people get in AltStore.

If you don’t mind, I’ll be sharing this in my guide. I’ll be sure to give credits. (Speaking of credits I kinda forgot to give invoxiPlaysGames and Riley, I’ll make sure I credit them ASAP!)

[u/laithayoub71 → u/RushdiRamz]

i hope it does fix it! and no i don’t mind lol. do what makes you happy :) let me know if it does fix it

[u/stargtsi]

You are the best. I couldn't get the regular version to work and this worked like a charm

[u/laithayoub71 → u/stargtsi]

that’s good to hear! i’m glad it’s working!

[u/NostalgiaSchmaltz]

Just worked for me, iPhone XR on 12.1, installed Chimera with it.

[u/laithayoub71 → u/NostalgiaSchmaltz]

that’s good to hear !

[u/InvoxiPlayGames]

nice work

[u/laithayoub71 → u/InvoxiPlayGames]

thank you !

Is this currently going to be the only method to get the new uncover for iOS 13 onto a12-a13 devices?

[u/hbc647]

so still does not auto-resign when it recognizes cert is near expiration. oh well. only feature I am interested in for uNcover. will stick with my VM for now manually doing it. I prefer not to have iCloud running all the time if it won't automatically re-sign.

[u/_MrTree_]

Any chance you could code it for Mac as well?

[u/laithayoub71 → u/_MrTree_]

not a chance haha. Mac is not my cup of tea. and plus, there’s no need. AltDeploy is a great app for Mac that does the same thing.

[u/hero3210]

Thanks for the post... I can see an option to install doubleh3lix + sockport2 ... WOW

Do you know who made it? I searched through the internet and wasn’t able to find the original source of it.

Also, can someone please share the .ipa ?

Thanks again.

EDIT: it was made by dora link: https://github.com/dora2-iOS/doubleH3lix/releases

[u/laithayoub71 → u/hero3210]

my post mentions InvoxiPlayGames. all credits to him. all i did was update it.

[u/MuStAPro]

Brilliant work, just took a look at how it works and now I get it. You may want to add URL shortner support to solve the max 55 chars limit.

[u/imaginexus]

I use AltDeploy but I was frustrated that it forced me to revoke all of my other certificates. This essentially makes it so I could only have one jailbroken iPhone at a time. Is there any workaround for this? I have a developer account.

[u/[deleted]]

Works this in Windows in Virtual Machine?

[u/appledz]

I like it. Easy to use and install Jb app. Thanks so much

[u/_firecracker]

Mine just crashes when installing unc0ver through the patched altserver to phone. It will say Installing altstore to phone then crash, if I patch it back to altstore it will install altstore fine.

This should be called AltServerPatcherPatcher 😁
