Certificate Questions

    Is it possible to unrevoke a certificate?

    • It is not possible to unrevoke yourself, but you can bypass a revocation by being jailbroken (with Appsync Unified installed).

    Can I unblacklist myself?

    • Yes, depending on your iOS version, you can unblacklist yourself from certificates (on iOS 18.0.1 & below only).

    How can I get my hands on a certificate?

    • The most common way is by purchasing a certificate from a third party source (such as Kravasign). You can also get your own certificate from your Apple ID. However, other certificates, like Enterprise, are hard to come across as they are leaked and from legit companies. Apple quickly reacts by revoking or blacklisting users from the certificate.

General Questions

    Can I run or convert an .apk to an .ipa or vise versa?

    • sigh.

    Whats a certificate, and why do I need it?

    • Apple requires third party apps to have something called a certificate. An easy way to explain it is imagining it as a passport. If you have a valid passport, the app can be signed. If you don't have a passport, the app can not be signed. A certificate ensures that an application is trusted by Apple. You need it because without one, Apple cannot verify that the app is signed, and will prevent it from launching.

    Do I need a computer to sideload?

    • Technically, no. A computer is not required to sideload. However, with a computer, many more options of sideloading appear. Without one, it's still possible, it's just the methods may be unreliable or unsupported.

    Sideloaders & signers are not the same thing! 😡

    • When we say signer, we also mean sideloader. When we say sideloader, we also mean signer. In other words, to us, they both mean the exact same thing. So it may be confusing, as signers meaning you can 'sign' applications, and sideloader which is the actual act of installing apps outside of the App Store, we respectfully do not care.
