AppSigner – Web-based Cydia Impactor alternative

WHAT IS APPSIGNER.IO?

AppSigner is a web-based Cydia Impactor alternative that allows you to sign applications over-the-air. It is developed by developers Malhaar and RedHairs, both of whom are newcomers on the jailbreak scene.

In other words, it’s just a free website that does exactly what Cydia Extender and Cydia Impactor do on devices/computers. However, it doesn’t sideload the app onto your device automatically after signing it.



This new signing tool also borrows heavily from Matt Clarke’s original code for ReProvision and Extender: Reloaded tweaks.

Since this tool is aimed at the sideload community, you can use it with or without a jailbreak.
SAURIK WARNS USERS AGAINST USING APPSIGNER

Unlike Cydia Impactor, AppSigner stores your Apple ID credentials on its server before sending them to Apple’s signing servers.

While storing username and passwords is essential for signing, the developer can also gain access to your accounts.

Most users (at least the non-tech savvy ones) use the same password on different platforms, which could maximize the risk of accounts getting compromised.

Saurik wrote a long-winded essay on Reddit concerning this tool.

In his post, the veteran developer claims that users’ credentials are only as safe as the servers the developers are using. Apparently, Malhaar is using a simple ASP.NET application deployed on an IIS server with no firewall whatsoever.



Furthermore, the app doesn’t even have an SSL certificate, which means your credentials are sent on the internet as well as your local network in the form of plain text.

Saurik is the only old-guard jailbreak developer who’s still sticking around. And, when he’s skeptical about something, you should probably refrain from installing that tool or tweak on your device.

With that being said, you could still use it with a throwaway Apple ID created specifically for signing purposes. This will ensure your original account stays out of harm’s way and you can still sideload your desired tweaked application or game hack.

OUR TAKE

Over-the-air sideloading is a gray area even in the jailbreak community because Apple ID accounts are on the line.

In the recent past, several disreputable individuals have used this method to steal user credentials and payment information. So, Saurik’s concerns aren’t entirely unfounded.
