Fixes the Apple sign-in regression that has made every check/renew fail with -80045 since 2026-10-12: the vendored isideload 0.3.17 does not use the client_info handed out by the anisette server and never resyncs, which Apple now rejects. Upstream isideload fixed this in 0.4.x (nab138/isideload#26 and follow-ups, reported in nab138/isideload#27), so this PR moves the vendored copy from 0.3.17 to 0.4.6 (upstream 8ca39b62).

Refs #6.

What changed

Cargo.toml — the dependency requirement was isideload = { version = "0.3.17", … }, i.e. ^0.3.17, which does not match 0.4.x. Because of that the [patch.crates-io] isideload = { path = "vendor/isideload" } override was silently ignored and Cargo kept building the crates.io 0.3.17. Bumped to 0.4.6 (and refreshed the comment above the patch section).

vendor/isideload → 0.4.6 (wholesale copy of upstream 8ca39b62), plus the things needed to drop it in unchanged:

  1. AnisetteData accessors restored (machine_id, one_time_password, local_user_id, device_unique_identifier). 0.4.x made the fields private and the AltStore anisette bridge in AltKeeper reads them. Upstream isideload has no reason to expose them, so they live in the vendored copy only.
  2. Your local modifications ported into the new grandslam.rs:
    • the ALTKEEPER_DEBUG / ALTREFRESH_DEBUG logging (gs_debug(), GS_SEQ, the [gs #n] lines, including the error body);
    • the transport settings that 0.4.6 has commented out or missing: HTTP/1.1 only, pool_max_idle_per_host(0), Connection: close on every request, and native TLS on macOS (plus the native-tls feature for the macOS target in the vendored manifest, which 0.4.6 only enables for Windows — without it tls_backend_native() does not compile on macOS).
  3. [patch, pending nab138/isideload#29] — after an hsc 434 resync, 0.4.6 re-sends the init request with the freshly resynced client data but the step-2 proof request still carried the original cpd. Two lines (let mut cpd + cpd = fresh_cpd;) so both requests use the same anisette identity. Droppable as soon as the upstream fix lands; the comment in the code says so.

Two call sites in src/apple.rs (the only application changes needed):

// MaxCertsBehavior is generic now; use the crate's boxed callback type
pub fn max_certs_behavior(value: Option<&str>) -> MaxCertsBehavior<MaxCertsCallbackBox> { … }

// sign_app gained pairing_file and device_udid
sideloader.sign_app::<_, std::future::Ready<()>>(
    ipa.to_path_buf(), Some(team), false,
    None::<fn(f32) -> std::future::Ready<()>>,
    None, // pairing_file
    None, // device_udid
)

needs_reprovision() in src/apple.rs also accepts "Max anisette provisioning attempts reached": 0.4.x runs its own provisioning retry loop and bails with that message, which the old matcher did not recognise, so state/anisette_state was not retired in exactly the case where it had to be.

Cargo.lock regenerated accordingly, so the cargo build --release --locked in the Dockerfile keeps working.

Why 0.4.6 and not 0.5.0

0.4.6 is the version this has been running for over a week. 0.5.0 adds the "reuse the main profile" option, which is unrelated to the login fix; bumping further is a one-line change once that feature has been tested here — happy to do it in a follow-up.

Testing

  • cargo build --release --locked from this branch (rust:1-bookworm, same command as the Dockerfile) — builds clean; the image is 138 MB and starts with serve --bind 0.0.0.0:8787 --altserver.
  • The same build has been running in production here (Docker, headless, iPad over Wi-Fi): sign-in works again and unattended renewals succeed for three profiles (two apps and a widget extension), including App ID creation/reuse.
  • ALTKEEPER_DEBUG=1 output verified: the [gs #n] request/response lines and the … error body (…) line on Apple errors.
  • The hsc 434 resync path and the -45061 state retirement are not exercised by those runs (Apple has to trigger them); the two patches above come from reading the code, not from a live repro.

I could not diff the vendored copy against a tagged isideload 0.3.17, so if there is another local tweak inside vendor/isideload that I did not notice, tell me and I'll port it — the diff of vendor/ is the best place to check.

One note: I also have a separate, unrelated patch for the SMS 2FA path (/auth/verify/phone answers a bare 403, so sign-in only works through a trusted device). It is deliberately not part of this PR; say the word if you want it as a separate PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changed
    • Updated app installation and signing to support app extensions and app-specific device information.
    • Improved account login and anisette recovery, including configurable retries for rate limits and recovery when refreshed data is needed.
    • Updated bundled sideloading behavior, including app-name handling. Unattended renewals were reported working in a long-running Docker deployment.

Apple started rejecting logins from 0.3.17 on 2026-10-12 (-80045): it ignores the client_info handed out by the anisette server and never resyncs (nab138/isideload#26, BartolomeoRusso9#27). 0.4.6 takes the server client_info and re-provisions when Apple asks.

The Cargo.toml requirement was still ^0.3.17, so the [patch.crates-io] path override was ignored and cargo kept building the crates.io 0.3.17; bump it to 0.4.6 and refresh Cargo.lock.

The vendored copy keeps two things AltKeeper needs: the AnisetteData accessors used by the AltStore bridge, and the local ALTKEEPER_DEBUG logging + HTTP/1.1 Connection: close transport settings, ported to the new grandslam.rs.
MaxCertsBehavior is generic over the callback (use MaxCertsCallbackBox) and sign_app takes pairing_file/device_udid.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates the vendored isideload crate from 0.3.17 to 0.4.6 and adapts application call sites to its revised APIs. The update changes Anisette provisioning, Apple authentication, certificate handling, app signing, and installation behavior.

Changes: Vendored isideload update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency and callback API integration
Cargo.toml, vendor/isideload/Cargo.toml, vendor/isideload/src/util/*, src/apple.rs, CHANGELOG.md, vendor/isideload/README.md, vendor/isideload/src/lib.rs
The manifests select isideload 0.4.6 and update dependencies. Shared callback contracts are added, application call sites use revised APIs, and error formatting gains a debug implementation.
Anisette provisioning and resync
vendor/isideload/src/anisette/*
Anisette providers return data or provisioning statuses. The generator retries provisioning up to three times and supports resync. The remote provider adds SIM-aware requests and forced state resets.
Apple authentication and HTTP retries
vendor/isideload/src/auth/*
AppleAccount adds configurable HTTP 429 retries, handles additional SMS response cases, and retries login initialization once after qualifying Anisette resync data.
Certificate and provisioning-profile signing
vendor/isideload/src/sideload/{builder,cert_identity,sideloader,sign}.rs, vendor/isideload/src/dev/certificates.rs
Certificate handling switches to x509_cert and builds certificate chains. Sideloader retrieves profiles for registered app IDs and passes their profiles and entitlements to bundle signing.
App metadata and installation updates
vendor/isideload/src/sideload/{application,bundle,install,sideloader}.rs, vendor/isideload/src/dev/{app_groups,app_ids,mod}.rs
Special-app handling can encrypt and include pairing-file data and store a device UDID. Bundle and app-group metadata are updated, app names are normalized, and installation upload chunks and progress logging are adjusted.

209-227: 🎯 Functional Correctness | Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a delay between HTTP 429 retries.

The builder default is Some(10). Each retry recurses immediately into plist_request with no sleep. Apple's rate limiter can still reject the next request, so the retries can use all 10 attempts within milliseconds. This can also extend the throttling period. Wait before each retry, and honor Retry-After if present.

+                    .unwrap_or(1)
+                    .min(30);
                 warn!(

                 );
+                tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(wait)).await;

The wasm32 build needs a different timer, because tokio::time is not available there. Gate the sleep with #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))].

grandslam.rs calls ClientBuilder::tls_backend_native() on macOS (it is part of the transport settings ported from the 0.3.17 copy), but reqwest only exposes that method with the native-tls feature, and the 0.4.6 manifest enabled it for Windows alone. Add the same target-specific reqwest block for macOS, as the 0.3.17 copy had.

Spotted by CodeRabbit in review; it cannot be caught by a Linux build because the call is behind cfg(target_os = "macos").

On the nitpick (grandslam.rs:209-227, no delay between 429 retries): that retry branch is upstream 0.4.6 code, unchanged by this PR. The point is fair — with retry_limit the recursion can burn every attempt in milliseconds, which does not help against Apple's limiter. I left it out to keep the vendor diff to the version bump plus the two local bits that were already there; if you want it in this PR I can add it (honouring Retry-After, with a cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32")) gate because tokio::time is not available there).

After an hsc 434 resync, 0.4.6 re-sends the init request with fresh anisette client data but the step-2 proof request still serialised the original cpd, so the two halves of the login could use different anisette identities.

Marked as a local patch pending nab138/isideload#29 (still present on their main); droppable once upstream ships the fix.
… provisioning retries

0.4.x retries provisioning itself (get_data_or_provision, 3 attempts) and then fails with 'Max anisette provisioning attempts reached'. needs_reprovision() only knew -45061 / 'reprovision required', so anisette_state was not moved aside in the one case where a fresh identity is needed.
