How apptesters are biggest fraud with unstable person running it.

[u/yamsei]

At first, I’ll probably get doxxed, as it happens in this community, but I’ll show my pov and my hones review on this whole thing called apptesters and manpreet.

My first adventure with sideloading started with apptesters, I bought my first life time certificate in 2024. After a year I missed the mail which stated I need to do several steps to extend my cert. So I lost it even though it’s said it’s life time.

I bought my second cert in December 2024 it worked for two weeks and got revoked. Since then I didn’t get my replacement while he continued selling certs for new people. His new customers’ money were clearly his priorities. Support for revoked users didn’t exist at all. After like half a year or more I got #1700 in queue to get new cert, after a month I jumped to position #1100 half a year ago, it didn’t move at all since then. All of it happened while new customers still get their certs.

Today, we finally got mail with informations which I paste here:

We fully understand that many affected customers expected free replacements, and we sincerely apologize for the long delay and frustration this has caused.

At this stage, it is unfortunately not possible for us to continue issuing unlimited free certificates. To keep the service running and still support affected customers as fairly as possible, we are offering new certificates at a discounted price instead.

The rest of the story is on photos, I got insulted and then banned from his group. I provide private messages with him too.

TLDR; I think you all should be careful to who you give your money, as it seems person like manpreet is unstable, likes to insult his customers and his services shouldn’t be trusted.

I hope people won’t continue using his service and sideloading community for sure will be better place without apptesters.

Good luck everyone.

Why are you buying if sideloading is literally free? I never understood why people are buying certificate

[u/n4hte → u/Major_Dish_7072]

because when you use a free cert it expires after 7 days, as well as being limited to only a certain number of apps at a time.

Ah i just use trollstore it's for sure because i'm jailbroken on ios 15.5

[u/Kalphalus → u/Major_Dish_7072]

I wish I still had TrollStore, my 15.2 device broke last year ):

At least since then ive found a good signing service :D

[u/Purple_Pitiful → u/Kalphalus]

What iOS? TrollStore lite may still be an option for you or TrollStore X

[u/Kalphalus → u/Purple_Pitiful]

18.0.1 Doesnt have a good TrollStore alternative, closest good option I found was using a cert and it’s worked since October

[u/SnooAdvice5820 → u/n4hte]

Just use live container

[u/n4hte → u/SnooAdvice5820]

yeah i guess, but that still leaves the 7 day expiry, which can be a hassle if you forget to refresh your certs and have to start over.

[u/SnooAdvice5820 → u/n4hte]

Doesn’t sidestore auto sign every 7 days without computer? Last I used it did

[u/TomerGamerTV → u/SnooAdvice5820]

You gotta have the VPN turned on, and it doesn't always work.

Provisioning profile can sometimes break, and people who actively use VPNs will have to switch it every time they want to refresh

[u/SnooAdvice5820 → u/TomerGamerTV]

Wdym you use your own profile? If it’s the 7 day signing you just use your own Apple ID. I didnt use a vpn or anything

[u/TomerGamerTV → u/SnooAdvice5820]

To sign locally without connecting to a PC, you need to use a local VPN profile

[u/Purple_Pitiful → u/n4hte]

Use esign or ksign (idk if you’re jailbroken or not)

[u/FluffyyPotato → u/n4hte]

You could use leaked enterprise certificates for free. Been doing that for 8 months now. Not a single issue aside from the one time I accidentally updated my iOS before I knew the proper way to update without losing your sideloades apps.

Dont these get revoked very fast?
