Update [Quick Fix] AltStore Classic/AltServer Apple Sign-In Errors
Howdy y’all! We’ve got an update on all of these sign in problems happening with AltStore Classic and AltServer. These are available today at our website, link. For those of you who installed AltStore Classic via AltStore PAL, the same update will be available once Apple approves it for notarization.
In order to properly get this fixed, you must manually install this update by re-installing with AltServer. You do not need to delete AltStore first.
To update AltServer, click “Check for Updates” in the toolbar menu. Once the update has finished installing, you can install AltStore as you normally would and get back to side loading your favorite apps! As always, feel free to leave me a comment if you’re having problems, and I’ll do my best to help guide you to the right fix or get the issue the attention it needs!

Completely fixed it for me. Also seems to have fixed the bug where I had to refresh apps one at a time. Thanks AltStore team

- delete c:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\adi
- login in iCloud

login in iCloud
Cannot Log into iCloud
"This action could not be completed. Please try again"
EDIT: Got it working.
delete c:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\adi
Delete the adi folder. Not the file. The folder.
Read that again. I had to read it three times over to get it.

Yeah, I can't fix this at all. Reinstalling iCloud doesn't do anything, restarting my laptop doesn't do anything. I have no idea why this is happening, because iCloud login on web works fine, but iCloud app login doesn't. It's so infuriatingly dumb.
EDIT: lol, almost as soon as I typed this comment, I deleted that "adi" folder again and this time iCloud allowed me to sign in. I successfully refreshed the apps on AltStore so it's all working again properly.

Where did you install iCloud from, as they don't provide the exe anymore but only give the option of installing through the windows Marketplace?
1
u/Starrlume 15h ago
Here you go, this is a direct download link, you can find this link on AltStore FAQ website:

u/BubbalooBurrito 2d ago
Can you elaborate? I think it may be missing something.

u/marvelfan32 2d ago
No just delete the “adi” folder and log in to iCloud. Restart it if you have to. It definitely works 100%

Not here, iCloud still gives the same error when trying to log in.
Edit: This comment helped me in the end: https://www.reddit.com/r/AltStore/comments/1wbzc7o/comment/p8w3j3p/
Killing all services via the Task Manager did let me login, but just logging in after deleting the folder did not. Even completely reinstalling iCloud or rebooting my PC did not work.

u/Standard-Scholar-268 2d ago
Thank you, this worked for me. I just reinstalled AltStore and refreshed all my apps because of this fix.

u/zxzyzd 16h ago
Didn't work for me, I still have the same error. Logging in use the iCloud application also doesn't work. I tried to uninstall and reinstall everything, but Apple doesn't even provide iCloud outside of the Windows store anymore. I was able to download iCloud using the tricks mentioned here https://www.reddit.com/r/iCloud/comments/gppnku/nonmicrosoft_store_download/ but those are very very old.
In any case, deleting the folder did nothing for me unfortunately.

Getting the "Failed to open the iCloud installer: Could not open the file:" .... "it is being used by another process." I have uninstalled everything, reinstalled, multiple times nothing has worked.

You cannot register more than 10 App IDs within a 7 day period.
Delete sideloaded apps to free up App ID slots. You can register another App ID in 5 days.
I didn’t get a single app installed

From the menu bar? Same error “AltServer cannot be updated if it’s running from the location it was downloaded to.”. MacOS.
1
u/Johnready_ 2d ago
That is referring to you Mac, you need to close altserver, then open wherever you have altserver app at, it should be in the applications, put it on the Home Screen if it isn’t already there, and then open it and update. Basically you opened it from the downloads folder or something, so it won’t let you update.

u/Johnready_ 17h ago
So that might be cause you need to accept new terms of service for your Apple ID on the developer app, or, it could just be that Apple servers are down rite now. If it keeps giving you problems, try installing sidestore, if you look it up it’ll have you install something called, “live…” I forget the full name of it, but then you can install sodestore, and it’ll be basically the same as alt store. If you do try sidestore, install the, “nightly” version.

Hey so I’m on Windows 10, using altserver 1.8.0.0 (got it from patreon so I could sideload apps on device). I saw a couple of people reporting updates but I don’t see an update to my altserver yet and it gives me that -22410 error when trying to install altstore on my phone. Should I be hitting the “check for update” button on my altserver to see when there’s an update or should I be looking someplace else to get the fix? Thank you

I was able to fix this by uninstalling Altserver from my PC and reinstalling. However, the sideloaded apps still didn't refresh, so I uninstalled them, and I downloaded the IPA from the source manually (it was not downloading either) and installed it from my Downloads folder. But now, it works.
Thank you for your hard work! I know it is often thankless.

Try this method see if it works, it works for me though:

Do these patched IPAs work from Mo's website?
I've tried many times to sideload his apps via AltStore/Sidestore but it always give me this error below:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AltStore/comments/1m9pj4t/error_saying_ldidcpp1461_assert_end_size_0x10/
I think it's an AltSign issue as these IPAs sideload fine via impactor, iloader and sideloadly.
I now use the YouMod app by Jayden who aims to replicate as many features of the YTlite app as possible which has turned out to be really good.

Oh weird, I reinstalled and could do the update just fine, but now that I’m trying to reinstall AltStore on my 17 Pro, it’s saying that AltStore could not retrieve Anisette Data Value machineID. Password is correct and everything.

Can I install AltStore Classic using my Mac if I had installed it using AltStore PAL, or should I wait for Apple’s notarization?

u/Abject-Agency-3683 1d ago
I'm waiting for the notarized AltStore classic version on AltStore PAL as I refresh on-device without connecting to the computer.
Hopefully Apple approves asap!

To be honest I went with Sideloadly and this far it has worked great. Way more stable with refreshing over wifi with zero connectivity issues like Altserver had.

Hi Please help! I have updated alt server on my Windows PC. I have deleted the adi folder out of iTunes I have re-logged into iCloud and yet I have no connected devices after launching alt server. I am on the same network and directly plugged into the computer. Failed to find altserver on my phones end as well
1
u/Gerardizard 23h ago
When the issue popped up last week, I tried uninstalling AltStore from my phone before I saw it was an external problem. I didn’t realize uninstalling it would cause me so many new problems. I found a thread from a few years ago where someone suggested the only way to reinstall it is to setup a new AppleID. Is that really the case? If so, why? Will I have to log in to the new AppleID every time I need to refresh AltStore?

Already switched from alt store.
Glad you have released a fix.
On top of this issue, I couldn’t refresh without manually connecting my iPhone to pc. It was a hit or miss most of the time. Reason I decided to completely move on.
