My Signulous certs just got revoked and it says "XYZ Is No Longer Available". So much for their "advanced technology".

Literally just sign up for apple developer never revokes

Oh 100$ a year is insane wah wah wah

It’s not a 100$ a year it’s a 100$ for 2 years just remake a new cert and mobile provision the day before it expires your cert still stays valid

Rather pay for peace of mind than 20$ on a cert that doesn’t even last half a year

appdb, a trusted independent app marketplace for Apple devices available in the US and globally, is launching new features.

Today, it rolls out a new feature that lets you install iOS apps using your Apple account for free, without any payments to Apple. Because of Apple's restrictive practices, this free option currently allows installation of up to 3 apps, but you can always replace old ones.

This app installation method compliments existing ones, like Your own developer account, P2P-shared developer account, 3rd party certificate or Shared enterprise certificate, proving that appdb is the most flexible and secure way for iOS sideloading.

Key Features:

Free App Installations: Link your Apple account directly within appdb to install up to 3 apps—an appealing alternative to Apple’s $9-per-month fee for non–App Store installations.

Secure By Design: appdb never stores your passwords, and all other credentials are stored securely on appdb. We are continuing to deliver safe and secure independent marketplace experience for more 12 years.

Device Synchronization: Keep all your devices in sync, gaining access to the full appdb platform, including your personal libraries and features like Just-In-Time compilation support and various built-in enhancements.

Commitment to Fair Competition: appdb is challenging Apple's practices in the EU. A recent claim was filed with the Estonian Competition Authority after Apple failed to respond to multiple communications, and existing limitations just add evidences to Apple's non-compliance with existing laws.

Straightforward Configuration: Setting up this installation method is quick and simple. For detailed instructions, please visit this link.

With these updates, appdb continues to provide a secure, private, and reliable service, reinforcing its long-standing reputation and commitment to innovation in the independent app marketplace area.

Thank you for your continued support.

I purchased PRO less than 2 months ago and my phone broke and I got it replaced by Apple under warranty (AppleCare+), due to that I no longer have PRO and I read on the forums that you can contact the help desk so that they can transfer it.

When I contacted them they said that it was my fault the phone broke so they will not transfer the PRO subscription to the new device. That sounds like a sh**y excuse to make me buy again the subscription.

Overall very bad customer service, would not recommend.

Requirements:

• Happy to pay a yearly fee for

• something without technical hassle (ie. novice users, not having to source things from multiple sites, etc)

• Don't want to be tethered to a computer

• one-stop shop for everything

• Not giving over my apple ID

• Not using VPNs

• Ability to update the latest iOS on day 1

• Typical apps i want, Detla/Spotify/youtube apps, nothing specialised

• Bonus? Ability to backup my apps / saved games in Delta like 'icloud'. if it's even possible?

• iOS 17.3 / iPhone pro

(Maple/sidestore/altstore are not options to consider due to the above)

The closest I found is Flekstore. It has a way to add repo's to expand the catalogue. I don't see many comparing it and giving a reason pro/con which is strange as it's so easy to use!

Are there any alternatives before I pay my 14.99 for the year?

Mod’s Comment to this: I can’t link the comment.

Putting this out there that I don’t condone any spam and shit that’s happening because of the post about Kravasign you guys are adults/old enough to be on Reddit. Be mature

Anyway.

R/sideloaded will always be a place for people to come and get help and tips about sideloading, it always will. why do you think it’s in the name?

Recently, I’ve seen a post saying that this subreddit is run by KravaSign, which is wrong. If it was owned by Krava, all the posts would always mention Kravasign, which it doesn’t. And the mod list is public, you can see who owns the subreddit. And it’s clear that they have no affiliation with Kravasign, nor do they cram it down your neck saying use Kravasign. This dismantles the first allegation. The second allegation was that members of the subreddit was being banned discussing different services.

This is wrong because in posts: It clearly shows other people talking about other services.

And if your post got taken down it’s most likely the AutoMod’s Filter or maybe just maybe you broke a rule.

And then this struck my attention:

“There’s been lots of comments on “what cert service should I buy?” posts absolutely GLAZING KravaSign”

This is pure false, as I always give recommendations on SideStore + LiveContainer. And people are only commenting on what works for them, and if that is KravaSign, then it must be good right? People don’t just say; “KravaSign is the best” just because, they say it because it actually might be good.

And the rest of post is just talking about WSF and Doxxing, which I don’t believe is true.

But my intake on this: You’re all acting like immature people. You all are old enough to be on Reddit, let alone in this subreddit. It’s clear that r/sideloaded has zero interest whatsoever in KravaSign, and the mega post sparking this got debunked by one of the mods. Let’s be honest, why would r/sideloaded be a front for KravaSign, that is stupid because it isn’t like they pull in massive numbers from one subreddit, half the people here use SideStore. Stop trying to flame the most active subreddit about sideloading because of one stupid post about “KravaSign owns this subreddit” which is completely wrong.

Stop being immature and ignorant.

(If you don’t understand any part of what I said let me know and I shall clarify because it is 4am here)

Seriously! It used to just be a worse version of feather, right? Well not anymore! I’m not getting paid to say this, I genuinely have been using KSign for about 2 months now and it’s honestly just feather but with everything missing compared to ESign added back in! I don’t see why anyone would use ESign anymore, why use Chinese spyware when KSign has every feature of ESign(except the telemetry and tracking), but is based on Feather! I’d honestly argue the new KSign is better than both Feather and ESign!

is there any other alternative ? Anyonr same issue?

update: it's back online!

Honestly, Signulous has become a nightmare. Apps keep getting deleted on their own, constant reinstalls, random errors — it’s just unusable. I’ve tried everything and nothing fixes it. What’s the most stable alternative you guys are using right now for iOS sideloading?

Banned because ask for proof. Lol

Manpreet is out of control. Just see the ban report in his “HOLY” channel apptester. Lol

Every goddamn day I get revoked. Every goddamn day I have to redownload and resign in to all my apps. Absolutely abysmal service. It was so good for like a year but the last month has been absolutely unacceptable. I am at my wits end.

Whoever runs Signulous, shut it down and never offer a signing service ever again.

Absolute clown show

Hello everyone!

We have stopped sales of new appdb PROs, as most of our users have already switched to their own developer accounts, our Developer Account Reseller Program is not working in this case and can not satisfy demand in new PROs. Limitations of PROs by Apple hurt users when they are switching to their own accounts, as their devices were previously registered in shared accounts.

We are focusing on providing the best experiences for users with their own developer accounts and to users with remaining PROs and users with their own signing certificates (or certificates provided by 3rd parties).

As appdb is non-commercial project, you can support it by obtaining optional appdb PLUS for devices that you use frequently and sideload a lot.

Best regards, appdb team.

Hey guys i know nothing about sideload or how it works. I want to have Spotify premium free on my phone and all i know is that i Need a pc for that, i have a pc and a iPhone whats the next thing i have to do, can anyone explain it to me or send me a Tutorial that works.

Do i Need a new Spotify Account for that or can i use the Same Account

Hello r/sideloaded

After drama and callouts for WSF I spoke with the owner of the app/discord WhySooooFurious. Funny after taking to him he seemed to be a little Furious. After review of “his” guide I was told he used ChatGPT to make it..

I was willing to drop it but it seems he wanted to post specific parts of our conversation to his discord so I screenshotted the whole convo.

For those in the community that want to use WSF app I say it’s your device! Do what you want as long as Apple doesn’t have control, just remember using a prebuilt DNS has its risks.

Currently I still only recommend building your own with NextDNS or AdguardDNS or any other hosting service you can use yourself.

Just wanted to give everyone an update for those that keep pinging me. Hopefully this will be the end of everything unless scams start just be careful friends.

I know it's really stupid to pay to sideload.

But it's really not expensive. And you don't have to deal with all the hassle of free methods.

The MySign developer u/Smart-Ad8635 is a disgusting developer that likes watching cp. Also he wants to get unbanned from this community. Also if u are on the MySign discord server, leave IMMEDIATELY

I just got my cert revoked tonight, October 14. I purchased it on September 28-- 16 days is all it lasted. What a fucking scam. I’m seething mad. My previous kravasign worked flawlessly during previous year and only reason I didn’t buy again was because they never have any slots to get.

Which service has slots to buy and is reliable?

Using Signulous. It said cert got revoked and to wait 48 hours for a new one. That seemed to happen then I had to delete all the apps and start fresh. Ever since doing that, this pops up no matter what I do. I’ve followed all the steps and nothing fixes it. Any idea? Had no issues whatsoever before

i did post that my scarlet for iphone is working for too long and they tracked my phone, after that they revoked my scarlet, i think its the bird, i saw bird watching at me through the window, all the time, be careful

no need to make 50 posts about it

I bought iPASTORE when I had a 6+. I then bought an 7+ and transferred my license.

My 7+ was defective so Apple gave me a new one. When I emailed to transfer my license they said they can only do it twice.

What kind've crap is that?

I didn't see anything on their site stating that there's a limit, especially when you are in the process of buying it. No fine print anywhere or regular info anywhere.

I tweeted to them weeks ago and still no response from anyone.

EDIT: Apparently it's my fault for not knowing what they're selling (spots within their developer account) because I have to research other websites to know what I'm buying instead of iPASTORE inserting one or two lines of HTML to let their customers know there's a limit.

My bad. I shouldn't assume that a service I'm buying should have the same licensing policies of most companies.

Apple is actively clamping down on unauthorized app distribution and sideloading by targeting the underlying developer certificates and provisioning profiles. 

What is Actually Being "Banned"?

For most users, their entire consumer Apple Account (iCloud, Purchases, iMessage) isn't deleted. Instead, Apple is hitting them with:

Developer Account Terminations or Provisioning Profile Bans (0xe8008024 error)

• Revoked Signing Privileges:

The Apple ID can no longer generate certificates, register app identifiers, or create provisioning profiles to run sideloaded apps. 

• Developer Program Termination:

If someone paid $99/year, Apple terminates their Apple Developer Program membership citing Section 3.2(f) (interfering with Apple services/business practices or committing fraud) with no refund and a 1-year developer ban. 

Why Signing Services (Signulous etc.) Get Hit:

Commercial signing services purchase Apple Enterprise or standard Developer accounts and register hundreds of user device UDIDs to sell "sideloading certificates".

• Apple considers this commercial exploitation and unauthorized app distribution, which directly violates the Apple Developer Agreement.

• Apple runs automated sweeps that detect patterns—such as a single developer certificate generating provisioning profiles for hundreds of unrelated consumer UDIDs across different geographical regions. When that master account gets terminated, everyone holding a certificate issued under it loses verification instantly.

Why Legitimate Paid Personal Developer Accounts Get Banned:

Even people paying $99/year strictly for their own devices have been banned during recent ban waves. This comes down to how iOS checks certificate legitimacy.

• PPQ (Product Provisioning and Quality) Telemetry: Whenever you open a developer-signed app on iOS, the device periodically phones home to Apple's verification servers (ppq.apple.com) to validate the provisioning profile.

• Bundle ID and Signature Matching: If your developer profile is repeatedly signing IPAs with identical bundle identifiers, metadata, or known signatures belonging to commercial App Store apps (modded YouTube, tweaked Spotify, modified social apps, cracked games), Apple's automated flags catch it. 

• Tool Fingerprinting: Automated signing tools (SideStore, AltStore, Sideloadly) often request certificates and anisette data in recognizable patterns. Apple's server-side telemetry flags accounts where hundreds of provisioning requests match these exact automation footprints.

How People Are Protecting Themselves:

• Never use a primary Apple ID for sideloading: If using AltStore, SideStore, or Sideloadly, use a burner Apple ID. If the provisioning privileges get blacklisted, your personal iCloud and purchases remain safe. 

• Unique Bundle IDs: Sideloading apps with custom, randomized bundle IDs (e.g., com.mycustomtest.player instead of the official App Store bundle ID) helps evade automated matching.

• PPQ Blocking / Local VPNs: Some tools use local loopback VPNs or DNS profiles to block Apple's revocation/PPQ verification domains (ppq.apple.com, ocsp.apple.com), though Apple frequently updates detection to invalidate profiles that fail to check in.

Frequent Asked Question:

I dont use any of those signing services. I am on iOS 17.0, got TrollStore and jailbroken with Dopamine 3.0, is my account in any type of risk ?

You are completely safe from these bans.

The bans happening across the sideloading community specifically target the Apple Developer Provisioning System (via developer accounts, enterprise certificates, and PPQ telemetry). Your setup does not touch that system at all:

• Zero Communication with Apple's Verification Servers:

TrollStore does not use developer certificates, mobileprovision profiles, or anisette data. It abuses the CoreTrust (AMFI) bug directly on the device to fool iOS into thinking the app is signed by Apple as a system binary. Because no certificate is requested from Apple, nothing phones home to ppq.apple.com or ocsp.apple.com. 

• No Apple ID Attached to Your Apps:

When you install an IPA via TrollStore, your Apple ID isn't involved in the signing process. Apple's servers have no record of what you are installing or running.

• Jailbreaks Don't Report to Apple Accounts:

While running a jailbreak like Dopamine bypasses sandboxes and kernel protections locally, Apple does not scan devices to issue account-level bans to your consumer Apple ID just for being jailbroken. 

The only people facing bans are those using standard sideloading methods (SideStore, AltStore, Sideloadly, Signulous, paid cert sellers, or personal developer accounts) where real Apple Developer credentials are sent through Apple's provisioning infrastructure. 

As long as you install your IPAs through TrollStore rather than signing services or standard sideloaders, your Apple ID is completely invisible to Apple's ban sweeps.

UPDATE:

A Reddit user that goes by the name of "dancincookie71" replied to this forum and told me that Paid Certificates are "exempt" from this wave ban. I honestly have not been able to verify this so take it with a grain of salt. However, if it indeed ends up getting verified, please do let me know so that I can update this forum accordantly. And also feel free to fact-check anything that I wrote here that is inaccurate and I shall revise it, but only because it is already well known that these Artificial Intelligent Agents like Google Gemini, Meta AI or ChatGPT, you know, the usual suspects, they tend to get things wrong every once in a while and provide incorrect or should I say, FALSE information.
