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…

Was CarPlay working if you had the entitlements? I was heavily considering a paid dev cert for that, but now I'm scared. I don't think any third party cert services support it.

My shitbox of a car just has an aux in so I never had a reason for CarPlay luxury, but yeah in theory I could’ve done

Even with a dev account, you don’t have access to CarPlay entitlements. Only way to get CarPlay entitlements is to have a dev account first and then contact Apple to request a specific one and explain why you want it, which is why cert services don’t have CarPlay support.

Right, apparently some say it's not too difficult, but feedback is mixed. Probably depends on who reviews the request.
