[Bug] [File Sharing] Apps installed via TrollStore are visible in iTunes, but can't be written/read.

Open nicolodonvito opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

Hardware utilized:

  • iPhone XS (iOS 15.0.1)

Software utilized:

  • Windows 10 (21H2)
  • iTunes (v12.12.4.1)
  • TrollStore (v1.0.6)

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install an application via TrollStore
  • Go to iTunes - Device icon - File Sharing
  • Select the app installed via TrollStore

Expected results:

  • See the app's folders and data.

Experienced result:

  • iTunes tries to load the app's folder and data for an indefinite time. image

Additional notes:

  • The applications that I tried are "PPSSPP", "Delta emulator", and "FilzaEscaped15". Only "Delta emulator" created a couple of folders in the "On My iPhone" folder in the Files app, but these can't be accessed from iTunes anyway.
  • Manually creating a folder with the same name as the app doesn't fix the problem.
  • Sideloading the apps make them accessible in the File Sharing on iTunes.

Maybe try going to their data folder with santar and checking the permissions?

I am sorry, what is "santar"?

*Santander , it’s like a read only file manager you can install with trollstore, if you install it you could check the permissions of that folder

I have the same problem when i install retroarch applications.

I wanted to look into this now, but for me PPSSPP doesn't even show up in Finder

Hmm they show up in Windows but not in macOS, really weird, also hard to debug but will check now

Sep  8 18:32:00 iPhone-SE-von-Lars mobile_house_arrest[1189] <Notice>: invalid application type for org.ppsspp.ppsspp: System
Sep  8 18:32:00 iPhone-SE-von-Lars mobile_house_arrest[1189] <Notice>: org.ppsspp.ppsspp is not an allowed app bundle or extension: InstallationLookupFailed

not sure if this can be fixed as TrollStore relies on installing apps as system apps

I got it past that check but still doesn't seem to work and also no other error gets printed, so not sure what else to try

"Fix" is included in 1.3. Set registration state to "User", do the iTunes stuff you want to do and when you're done, set it back to "System".
