Howdy! I wanted to provide y'all with an update on this error a lot of us have been seeing. We've been investigating alongside our friends in the sideloading community, and we've found a couple promising leads towards resolution. I know it's been frustrating to deal with, but thank you so much for your patience. I'm going to spend some time trying more of these solutions, and I'll update everybody here the moment a fix is ready!

In the meantime, thank you for all of your suggestions and proposed fixes. We are looking through all of them, and the insight is massively appreciated!

We're seen reports of both "Server Returned Invalid Response" and "NSCocoaErrorDomain3840" error messages that seem to be affecting AltStore and SideStore users. It seems like there's a temporary issue with Apple ID authentication, and we're looking into it along with our friends on the SideStore team. We'll update this post once it's resolved!

I had only 1 day remaining, thank you to the person who said to use your Mac as the anisette server. Had to try 2-3 times but it worked just in the nick of time. 2012 MBP still going strong on Tahoe😁

Guide Unofficial AltServer build for macOS 27 that can sign in again (temporary, checksums + source included)

1 Upvotes

If AltServer on macOS 27 fails with -80045 or "The data is not in the correct format", I made a temporary build of the fix I proposed in #1834, for people who can't wait for it to be merged.

Download: https://github.com/kisnner26/AltStore/releases/tag/v1.8-windows-anisette-unofficial

Before you run it:

- It's unsigned and not notarized. The release has SHA256 checksums and the patches it was built from, so you can build it yourself or read the diff.

- It gets anisette data from a community anisette v3 server (ani.jkcoxson.com). That server sees a device identity, not your password or 2FA code, which go straight to Apple.

- Apple Silicon Macs only, tested on macOS 27.2.

What I tested: sign-in with 2FA, installing AltStore on an iPad Pro and an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and refreshing AltStore from the app. I did not test refreshing other sideloaded apps.

What it doesn't do:

- It's not universal: some accounts still get -80045 with this identity.

- AltServer on the Mac only, not remote refresh.

- SMS codes fail on Apple's side, use one from a trusted device (Settings > your name > Sign-In & Security > Get Verification Code).

Don't retry many times in a row, Apple rate-limits. Also, jkcoxson published a Mac-identity anisette server (mac-ani.jkcoxson.com) that may work with the official AltServer without patches. I haven't tested it.

Why it broke and how I traced it: https://kisnner26.github.io/altserver-80045/

Tracking issue: https://github.com/altstoreio/AltStore/issues/1828

If it works for you, a thumbs up on the release helps me know. If it doesn't, post the error text and your macOS version.

I used mine a few years ago with no issues, just got altstore back and saw someone talk about a “ban wave” on here.. can I actually get banned? Also how do you even make another apple id without a phone number in the uk since the google phone app thing doesn’t work over here?

Help (Solved) AltServer on macOS 27 can sign in again (fix for -80045 / "The data is not in the correct format")

Post image
16 Upvotes

If AltServer on macOS 27 fails with -80045 or, since Oct 14, "The data is not in the correct format", here's what's going on and a fix.

Why: on macOS 27 AltServer generates Android anisette data. Apple first rejected it with -80045, and now answers any request that declares an Android client with a 503 HTML page, which AltServer shows as the format error. It's not your password or your account.

What works: Windows anisette data from an anisette v3 server (ani.jkcoxson.com), with the client info and user agent that server reports. iloader 2.3.8 uses the same approach.

Fix for AltServer: I opened a PR, https://github.com/altstoreio/AltStore/pull/1834 (+ https://github.com/rileytestut/AltSign/pull/61). Tested on macOS 27.2: sign-in, 2FA and AltStore 2.3 installed on iPadOS 27.2. Until it's merged and released, iloader 2.3.8 is the easiest option if you need to sideload now.

Tips: use a 2FA code generated on a trusted device (Settings > your name > Sign-In & Security > Get Verification Code). SMS fails right now. Don't retry over and over: Apple rate-limits you (429/503). Some accounts still get -80045 even with Windows anisette.

I'm trying to install AltStore onto my iPhone, but every time I enter my Apple ID information, I get this error:

"AltServer could not sign in with your Apple ID. This action cannot be completed at this time. (-80045)"

Troubleshooting steps I've already tried:
Re-downloaded and reinstalled AltServer / AltStore

Device & Version Info:
Device: iPhone 18 Pro
iOS Version: IOS 27.0.1
AltServer Version: 1.8.1

Does anyone know how to fix this or what causes this error? Any help would be appreciated!

Salut a tous !

J'ai cette erreur qui apparais sur AltStore quand j'essaye de refresh/installer mes apps

Quelqu'un a deja vu cette erreur ?

AltStore 2.3 - AltServer 1.8.1 - iPhone 13PM - MacOS 26.4.1

UPDATE : En passant par mon mac, avec AltServer " sideload .ipa " a fonctionné, donc le problÚme viens d'AltStore je pense.

UPDATE 2 : j'ai tout effacé, AltStore Classic puis AltStore PAL, j'ai tout réinstaller, j'ai installer StikDebug ça a fonctionné, j'ai ensuite configuré remote AltServer j'ai installer une .ipa, Apple.APIError -80045 ...
Donc j'ai desactivé Remote AltServer, reinstaller l'.ipa et ça a fonctionné.

Le probleme viens de Remote AltServer d'apres moi

Plz let me know, I don’t know about any other alternatives too, if yes they should be as good as Altstore


Update: There’s no news as of now for the fix, but a partial solution/ workaround would be to create an alternate Apple ID and side load with that account.
