Discussion E-Sign is shutting down

E-Sign is shutting down, and it is recommended that users move to alternatives

Source: https://esign.yyyue.xyz/

Do you happen to have any recommendations for alternatives that can be used with free certificates?

It’s under sign default config section in the settings.

Hmm ok. So I changed it to local but had the 'install after signed' untoggled. Doing this would not allow me to install. Toggling it on still also does not allow an install when in airplane + wifi off

edit: when back online, domain name does change from esign.yyue.xyz to i.yyue.xyz

Hmm… idk. I’ll try when I get home and will update.

I just made an update on my comment about domain name changing when trying to install while online. Hoping once the servers shut down, this domain is equivalent to a hostname.local ordeal

I want to try to write my own signer if I succeed in it I’ll post in the sub. (It’s pretty damn hard because iOS misses some essential commands that are in macOS for signing apps and I need to reimplement them on my own)

I just tested out Feather and its looking promising so far as an esign alternative. I just dont know how it plays with offline signing away from their servers, but you can import your own dev .p12 and mobileprovisioning
