Have you clicked "check for updates" on Altserver? These would appear if you are running an older version - should be on 1.7

https://faq.altstore.io/getting-started/how-to-install-altstore-macos the article says "If you are on macOS 10.14 or 10.15, download AltServer 1.6.2" The latest version of my MacBook is 10.15.7

I think (from my experience) that if you are not running a macOS that supports Xcode 15, then it will fail with this error. It seems that it has something to do with permissions to resolve the developer image URL for iOS 17 (Likely apple doesn't allow this unless an Xcode 15 macOS is used).

I currently have a 2017 MacBook Air that is stuck on macOS Monterey (Which does not support Xcode 15). I was able to create a macOS Sonoma Virtual Machine using Parallels on my MacBook. I no longer get the The URL to download the Developer disk image could not be determined error anymore when trying to enable JIT in the Sonoma VM.

However, I'm fighting other errors right now (device not found errors). So I can't say this a "for sure" fix.

Any success connecting your iDevice to your VM? AltStore never recognizes it the way i tried :(

hscumbie commented 6 months ago

I wish I could say I got a solution. I think it has something to do with Parallels assigning it to the USB 2.0 interface instead of USB 3.0/3.1 interface.

Have you tried installing macOS 14 (Sonoma) on a VM and enabling JIT via Xcode debugger? I heard that that works, but I can't even get as far as installing Sonoma on Virtualbox as it bootloops after Installation, despite trying fixes and following numerous tutorials that promise it to work... also im not using AMD (apparently doesnt work on AMD chips)

Im now trying again by creating my own macOS 14 ISO file in my macOS 12 VM... hope it works, i'll Update later if it worked or Not

hscumbie commented 6 months ago

That's a really good suggestion. I tried installing Xcode onto my VM. Unfortunately, it still won't see my device. I've opened a ticket with Parallels since I believe its a Parallels virtualization issue. I'll report back what I find.

In another note, what is your host system? MacOS? Windows?

Windows 11, otherwise I wouldnt really need to use a VM (its been a painful journey so far). I cant get the Sonoma ISO I created to my host system either, as file sharing doesnt really work without guest extensions (which dont work on macOS 12)... Ahhh man, I really regret updating from iOS 16.5 to 17.1.2, I didnt know they changed how JIT was handled, and i never needed it before, but of course I do now... Ill keep trying to get stuff to work on a VM tho.

hscumbie commented 6 months ago

Does the vm have access to a network adapter? Might could do SCP.

Devyy21 commented 6 months ago

Just tried directly installing Sonoma / updating from Monterey to Sonoma on my VM... Completely crashed everything now. I've seen others using VMware instead of Virtualbox to successfully debug via xcode, so I'll try installing Sonoma on VMware now and see how it goes

Devyy21 commented 6 months ago

Also still can't get over the fact that iOS is this limited... u can spend so much time trying to do stuff that u can do with a few clicks on android... gotta love and hate apple ig

Devyy21 commented 6 months ago

Finally, after all this work, VMware does support USB 3.1 and AltStore recognizes my iDevice! Now I'll try following the steps to (hopefully) successfully enable JIT!

well, did it work? All these kinds of threads keep going dead with no follow-ups or solutions.

Devyy21 commented 5 months ago

Yeah it worked, however it does take about 1 min. which means the app to enable JIT on has to stay in foreground during that minute, which also means that apps which require instant JIT access wont work and will get shutdown by the iOS system before JIT can be enabled.

kadeschs commented 5 months ago

Thank you for replying. I’ve been investigating different methods. I have to say this is the most frustrating thing to get enabled. About ready to give up on this one.

hscumbie commented 5 months ago

I got mine working using VMWare and a Sonoma VM on my MacBook Air.

kadeschs commented 5 months ago

Where did you get your Sonoma image from?

Devyy21 commented 5 months ago

Where did you get your Sonoma image from?

as for me, all available online did not work, so I downloaded a macOS Monterey image (worked for some reason), installed macOS on VMware, loaded the Updater for MacOS Sonoma from the AppStore and followed a YouTube tutorial to turn it into an .iso file...

EDIT: Now that I think about it, this one should actually work: https://www.mediafire.com/file/vku90kjifs1fmu0/macOS+Sonoma+ISO+by+techrechard.com.iso/file

hscumbie commented 5 months ago

If you own a Mac, you can make one yourself as well.

Will give it a shot. Thanks!

Why use a VM in the first place if u have a mac already? Just directly update to sonoma and use AltStore / AltJIT for Mac 🤔

No problem, let me know if it works or not :)

2017 MacBook Air. Stuck on Monterey 😂. Only Ventura and newer support Xcode 15 which supports iOS 17. You have to have Xcode 15 support to use the developerdiskimage needed by pymobiledevice3 when using AltJIT

Same deal here too. On Mac Mini 2011 and can’t upgrade OS any longer. Sounds as if people need a recent Mac in order to get JIT working on iOS 17.

hscumbie commented 5 months ago

Yeah. VMWare fusion worked great for me. I recommend making a Ventura VM cause it's less buggy than Sonoma.

Yeah, either that or use a VirtualMachine like VMware which worked for me without a problem (dont try Virtualbox, it's a pain in the a** and won't even work in the end, trust me)

kadeschs commented 5 months ago

Ended up getting mine working through VMWare as well. Doesn’t surprise me about Vb. I’ve used VMWare for many years, and it’s always been the best out there.
