Getting an error relating to a windows path?

ahdeddd opened this issue 9 months ago · comments

Hello everyone. I've been using this program to sideload on my iOS device for the past 2 months, but it recently came up with this error:

filesystem error: directory iterator cannot open directory: No such file or directory [C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\adi]
Press any key to continue...

Exception: filesystem error: directory iterator cannot open directory: No such file or directory [C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\adi]
 0# 0x08234CD7
 1# 0x08657482

I'm running the regular AltServer script on linux:
./AltServer-i586 -u <My UID> -a <My Email> -p <My Password> <My IPA>

This error hasn't happened before, and I'm not sure why the program is trying to access a windows path. Can anyone help?

Same issue here, but it's the first time I use this project. I got the error message when installing alt-store 1.7, and I am on Archlinux too.

I'd like to add onto this, I also started receiving this error spontaneously. I do not know what the causation of this error is, but as others this version has worked for me for a long while... I am on the latest version of Arch.

Solved it by just specifying a custom anisette server so either use a public one or run your own with alt-anisette-server

# run the local anisette server instance (might need to wait a while for it to start up)
docker run -d --rm -p 6969:6969 -it nyamisty/alt_anisette_server
# then AltServer by specifying the env var
ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER="http://127.0.0.1:6969" ./AltServer-x86_64 -u ... -a ... -p ... xxx.ios
# or use a public anisette server like "https://ani.sidestore.io/"

@0Lazy When I use a custom anisette server, I'm getting a -36607 error:

Unable to sign you in to your Apple ID. Try again later. (-36607)

And after trying again, I get this:

This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons. Visit iForgot to reset your account (https://iforgot.apple.com). (-20209)

(So I have to go to the Apple website and change my password).

This did not happen while I was using the default anisette server though. Maybe I need to open another issue.

Try running your own anisette server instance and maybe try a different Apple ID. But the error has changed so good thing right :)
