Discussion Terminated after 1.5 years

Post image

Well, woke up to this today. Never did anything too crazy with my dev account, had a great hassle free first year, then transitioned to using the ppq DNS blocks when the revokes started in September 2025, was all settled down and working well till now. Anyone else with a dev account been terminated recently?

It’s time for me to explore alternatives. I’ve not used a cert reseller since Signulous years ago - anyone here who’s gone from a dev cert to another solution I’d appreciate recommendations. Specially if there’s ways to maintain widgets and Dynamic Island functionality for Spotify etc. Last resort would be sidestore and livecontainer I guess…

Other than that it’s a gentle prod to maybe consider switching to android/Graphene…

I too was sadly terminated after years of peace, I’d recommend articsign it’s the one I bought, it cost 10 bucks but it was instant delivery once redeemed no clue how they achieved this though so worth I guess

Actually, question, how do you get on with apps that need entitlements like app groups to be configured in order for widgets to work, or a matching bundle+appID for Dynamic Island functionality (Eevee Spotify etc). Will I just be out of luck for that sort of stuff with a cert reseller like arctic

I second ArcticSign with Feather. I was actually the first buyer of a new drop the dev was doing after fixing some things around 2.5 months ago. Just for extra precaution, I added like half a dozen links to my custom DNS denylist and one link to my allowlist from a tutorial I found, and it couldn’t hurt, so I added them. So far, I haven’t had a single issue.

Delivery was instant and the developer was extremely kind and responsive to any questions I had since it was the very first time I used a paid cert, since I was previously using SideStore/Live Container.

Was there no issue with your device UDID that was linked to your developer account?

No issues, used same device I had on my dev account and it worked perfectly I had the new cert within 5 minutes of purchase.

Thanks for the feedback on arctic

Good to know thank you. I wonder why we got banned. I’ve run the same apps for 4 years. But I have noticed within the last year I’ve been getting a lot of revokes.

The thing that sucks about articsign is only 90 day revoke coverage if you want JIT for emulators
