Incorrect Content-Type: must be textual to extract_string, JSON to extract_json.

kirillsurkov opened this issue a year ago · comments

Hi!
AltStore stopped working for me after updating to iOS 16.5.1
When I try to refresh the app I get this error:

AltServer.ServerError 2000
Incorrect Content-Type: must be textual to extract_string, JSON to extract_json.

Same error with iOS 16.1.1, so it most likely wasn't caused by updating D:
Also, any action (as in, downloading an app either through AltStore or AltServer, refreshing, retrieving appids, etc.) seems to prompt it.

Same error. I guess you shouldn't update to 16.5.1 just yet.

Same error here, iOS 16.6 beta

Same error. I guess you shouldn't update to 16.5.1 just yet.

Doesn't seem to be an iOS problem because @PinguThePenguin007 mentioned it not working on 16.1.1, I'm on 16.5 and I have the problem, and @boat1337 is on 16.6 beta.

I have found the source of the issue, it seems that the default anisette-server has changed something and broke AltServer-Linux

Here's my guide to get it running again:

Download an alternative anisette-server from
https://github.com/Dadoum/Provision/releases/tag/2.1.0

Your architecture may differ, so i will refer to the executable as anisette-server

Extract it, mark it as executable
chmod +111 anisette-server
Run it like this:
./anisette-server -n 127.0.0.1 -p 6969
These are my hostname (argument -n) and port (-p) of choice, you may pick something else :)
Open a new window/screen/etc.
Export the enviroment variable for AltServer so it connects to our server
export ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER=http://127.0.0.1:6969
Run AltServer, it should work! :DDD

you need to use your own ip address. find it with something like ip addr or ifconfig. port 6969 worked for me.

the port you specified in the anisette server and the port you enter before launching AltServer must not differ, you seemed to enter 6969 in anisette-server and 8659 in ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER

weird though, it shouldn't have fallen back to trying connecting to the default server, when i messed up earlier while trying to setup this, it just told me it couldn't connect to the address i specified and didn't do anything else...

maybe root access somehow affected it? i have no clue, but still, you should try entering the same port in both servers

Noah · Answer 28 · Wed Jul 05 2023 19:55:02 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Does this error occur with the Windows version of altserver as well?

I looked at the commits a few days ago and it doesn't seem like the upstream repo was updated in any regards to this.

Does upstream use a different anisette server by default?

LLuanZZ · Answer 29 · Wed Jul 05 2023 20:50:33 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I don't think so, because in AltServer for Windows, the Anisette server is not used. The server is on your own PC (I think).

Problem solved by Dadoum.

The workaround is as follows.

If your glibc version is not correct, try the below.

apt update

apt upgrade

curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s ldc

git clone https://github.com/Dadoum/Provision --recursive

cd Provision

dub build -b release :anisette-server

The build has been completed. If you find the path as below, there will be provision_anisette_server.

cd bin/

chmod +x provision_anisette-server

./provision_anisette-server -n 127.0.0.1 -p 6969

It should now work correctly on Raspberry Pi.

SKProCH · Answer 34 · Fri Jul 07 2023 20:12:34 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

If you don't want to install something to your PC, you can run ansiette server in docker:

docker run -d -v provision_config:/home/Chester/.config/Provision/ --restart=always -p 6969:6969 --name anisette dadoum/anisette-server:latest

And, follow the instructions:

Export the enviroment variable for AltServer so it connects to our server
```
export ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER=http://127.0.0.1:6969/
```
Run AltServer, it should work! :DDD

Hangover · Answer 35 · Sat Jul 08 2023 04:23:08 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I’m running anisette in docker and using 2 screens. One for netmuxd and another for altserver. I had to run netmuxd in sudo for Wi-Fi refresh to work. As I’m running netmuxd in sudo, I have to run altserver in sudo too. It’s fine because I can sudo first and do export of anisette url and then run altserver. Everything works fine but have a weird issue. Not sure if it’s related.

after some time, when I try to go do refresh of AltStore in the app, it says that it can’t use previous provisioning profile and asks to refresh the whole app, that basically invalidates old profiles and apps that I have. When I hit refresh it basically reinstalls the apps. It’s ok. Main challenge is with uyouplus as I have to uninstall and reinstall the app.

And if want you can use it as an app

If you don't want to install something to your PC, you can run ansiette server in docker:
docker run -d -v provision_config:/home/Chester/.config/Provision/ --restart=always -p 6969:6969 --name anisette dadoum/anisette-server:latest
And, follow the instructions:
Export the enviroment variable for AltServer so it connects to our server
export ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER=http://127.0.0.1:6969/
Run AltServer, it should work! :DDD

does the export work if you put that in profile.d making it system level so we can do sudo? I tried running netmuxd without sudo and it doesn't see my devices. so when I run netmuxd without sudo, I have to run altserver as sudo too.

I think it will be resolved in the near future, but it still doesn't work, so I hope it helps those who see this article.

Problem solved by Dadoum.

The workaround is as follows.

If your glibc version is not correct, try the below.

apt update

apt upgrade

curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s ldc

git clone https://github.com/Dadoum/Provision --recursive

cd Provision

dub build -b release :anisette-server

The build has been completed. If you find the path as below, there will be provision_anisette_server.

cd bin/

chmod +x provision_anisette-server

./provision_anisette-server -n 127.0.0.1 -p 6969

It should now work correctly on Raspberry Pi.

Compiling anisette is not working on my orange pi zero 2 (armbian bullseye). Dud cannot be compiled on arch64. So I tried the cmake route described in Dadoum readme file but it’s not working either. The reason is that the D compiler (ldc2) is not working for compiling anisette. I know that the method described in all the posts above using anisette binary works well if I upgrade armbian to Bookworm version (glibc ver 36), but in that case I loose wifi because there no working wifi drivers for orange pi in Bookworm. Does anyone know of a D compiler working on aarch64?

I have found the source of the issue, it seems that the default anisette-server has changed something and broke AltServer-Linux
Here's my guide to get it running again:

Download an alternative anisette-server from
https://github.com/Dadoum/Provision/releases/tag/2.1.0

Your architecture may differ, so i will refer to the executable as anisette-server

Extract it, mark it as executable
chmod +111 anisette-server

Run it like this:
./anisette-server -n 127.0.0.1 -p 6969
These are my hostname (argument -n) and port (-p) of choice, you may pick something else :)

Open a new window/screen/etc.

Export the enviroment variable for AltServer so it connects to our server
export ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER=http://127.0.0.1:6969

Run AltServer, it should work! :DDD

First of all, thank you for your hard work. Unfortunately, I have a Raspberry Pi 4, but it doesn't work as smoothly as the anisette server works in Ubuntu. (aarch64, armv7)

Did you try using docker? I haven’t compiled it. I have a pi 4 and just running on docker works perfectly.

It looks like root of the problem is not anisette. I tried to update anisette docker, but it did't help. I noticed, that altserver working properly when I running it from shell and giving this error when I start it like systemd unit. After some research I found that adding this line to altserver systemd unit:
Environment="ALTSERVER_ANISETTE_SERVER=http://127.0.0.1:6969/"
make altserver work properly again.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately, Docker refuses to run properly on my Orange pi zero2 (Armbian_21.08.9_Orangepizero2_bullseye_legacy_kernel 4.9.255). I followed the Armbian doc and it installs okay, but the service refuses to load. I need to investigate that further...

Try this https://github.com/powenn/AltServer-Linux-PyScript

All you need is run the script and everything works for you

And if want you can use it as an app

Does this work on raspberry pi? Also did you fix the Wi-Fi refreshing?
