Treating AltKit as a full module resulted in more complexity than necessary, when we really just wanted to share some files between different targets. Now we can share individual files across modules as-needed without AltKit overhead.
AltDaemon allows AltStore to install and refresh apps without a computer on jailbroken devices. AltDaemon has the necessary entitlements to perform the same actions AltServer normally does over WiFi, and uses the same AltServer request logic to handle local requests.
Refactors ConnectionManager to use arbitrary RequestHandlers and ConnectionHandlers. This allows the core AltServer request logic to be shared across different targets with different connection types.
Deactivating apps by removing their profiles no longer works on iOS 13.5. Instead, AltStore will now back up the app by temporarily replacing it with AltBackup, then remove the app from the phone.
When deactivating an app, AltStore will first install AltBackup in its place. This allows AltBackup to access the (soon to be) inactive app’s sandbox, and backup all files to a shared app group with AltStore. Later when activating, AltStore will again install AltBackup and use it to restore files before installing the actual app again.
iOS 13.3.1 limits free developer accounts to 3 apps and app extensions. As a workaround, we now allow up to 3 “active” apps (apps with installed provisioning profiles), as well as additional “inactivate” apps which don’t have any profiles installed, causing them to not count towards the total. Inactive apps cannot be opened until they are activated.
Assuming the certificate used to originally sign an app is still valid, we can refresh an app simply by installing new provisioning profiles. However, if the signing certificate is no longer valid, we fall back to the old method of resigning + reinstalling.
AltServer must now download the Mail plug-in at runtime, because notarization will fail if AltServer contains an unsigned binary (and as of Catalina, Mail plug-ins only work if they’re unsigned)
As of iOS 13.3.1, apps installed with free developer accounts that contain embedded frameworks fail to launch. To work around this, we now link all dependencies via Cocoapods as static libraries.
