AltServer-Linux

AltServer for AltStore, but on-device

Usage

• Install IPA: ./AltServer -u [UDID] -a [AppleID account] -p [AppleID password] [ipaPath.ipa]
• Running as AltServer Daemon: ./AltServer
• Full usage (maybe outdated, refer to ./AltServer -h for the newest):

Usage:  AltServer-Linux options [ ipa-file ]
  -h  --help             Display this usage information.
  -u  --udid UDID        Device's UDID, only needed when installing IPA.
  -a  --appleID AppleID  Apple ID to sign the ipa, only needed when installing IPA.
  -p  --password passwd  Password of Apple ID, only needed when installing IPA.
  -d  --debug            Print debug output, can be used several times to increase debug level.

The following environment var can be set for some special situation:
  - ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER: Set to custom anisette server URL
          if not set, the default one: https://armconverter.com/anisette/irGb3Quww8zrhgqnzmrx, is used
  - ALTSERVER_NO_SUBSCRIBE: (*unused*) Please enable this for usbmuxd server that do not correctly usbmuxd_listen interfaces

Download

• Precompiled static binary can be downloaded in Release ( also have a look at pre-release ;) )
• Nightly version is available as Github Actions artifacts

TODO / Special Features

• Track upstream (AltServer-Windows) develop branch (i.e. Beta version)
• Support Offline Anisette Data Generation (i.e. without Sideloadly)
  • Finsihed, please run alt_anisette_server & use ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER to specify custom server URL
• Support Wi-Fi Refresh
  • netmuxd now supports network devices (needs version > v0.1.1, be sure to check pre-release)
    • Download netmuxd, stop the original usbmuxd, and run netmuxd before running AltServer-Linux
    • If netmuxd does not work, please try using special env var ALTSERVER_NO_SUBSCRIBE. Enabling this would disable auto-refresh when plugged-in of USB devices

Advanced: Build Instruction (check Github Actions if you cannot build)

• Preparation: git clone --recursive https://github.com/NyaMisty/AltServer-Linux

• Install dependencies (see notes below): corecrypto_static, cpprestsdk static lib, boost static lib

• Build:

  cd AltServer-Linux
  mkdir build
  make -f ../Makefile -j3
  ls AltServer-*
  

• My own build note for you

    1. Run alpine docker (change --platform to corresponding architecture you want): 
        docker run --platform=linux/arm/v7 --name altserver-builder-alpine-armv7 -it alpine:3.15 
    2. Install dependencies:
        apk add zsh git curl wget g++ clang boost-static ninja boost-dev cmake make sudo bash vim libressl-dev util-linux-dev zlib-dev zlib-static
    3. Install corecrypto
        download corecrypto from apple website, unzip corecrypto.zip; cd corecrypto; mkdir build; cd build; CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake ..;
        vim CMakeFiles/Makefile2, delete line starts with "all: corecrypto_perf/....." and "all: corecrypto_test/.....", then make; make install
    4. Install cpprestsdk
        git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/cpprestsdk; cd cpprestsdk; mkdir build; cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=0 ..; make; make install
        (if you're compiling for armv7, you have to grep -Wcast-align, and remove it, or the compiling would fail)
    5. Install libzip
        git clone https://github.com/nih-at/libzip; cd libzip; mkdir build; cd build; cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=0 ..; make; make install
    6. Compile AltServer-Linux
        git clone --recursive https://github.com/NyaMisty/AltServer-Linux
        cd AltServer-Linux
        make -f ../Makefile -j3
        (if you're compiling for ARM, i.e. armv7 or aarch64, you'll have to remove the -mno-default flag in Makefile)
