Cannot import iso drive image

[osy]

This appears to only be an issue if a wildcard provisioning profile is used. It is not an issue if installed with AltStore 1.4.2 (with a free developer account) or with Xcode build + run.

[saagarjha]

Works for me?

[osy]

I’m posting this on behalf of someone who told me in chat. I haven’t verified the issue.

I have the Same issue on an iPad 2018 (6th gen), 128GB, running iOS 14.2. I was starting to think I’m dumb since I seem to be unable to import any disk images. Is there any info that could help you fix the issue?

[FD-]

The disk creation dialog doesn’t include a path field as suggested by some (obsolete?) documentation. Tapping the import icon in the toolbar shows the system file picker, but tapping an iso or zip file doesn’t do anything at all.

[FD-]

Rebooting the iPad doesn’t help.

[FD-]

Installed the app by downloading the newest release ipa, using iOS App Signer to sign it with the Team Provisioning Profile of my paid iOS developer account (I tried Re-Sign Only before but it wouldn’t install) and installed via Xcode.

im having same problem on my ipad pro ( 2018 ) ios14.2

[cleverer]

Same here. I also have Notability installed and in the files app, the iso shows the notability icon.

[abn5x]

same issue here.

same here, ipad pro 11, 2018. ios 14.2
utm 2.0.8

[cleverer]

Ah got it working. I tried different approaches, including building the app myself (build + run in Xcode, so it's a develop build). However, I think what made it work is putting the files in to the UTM folder in the Files app (On My iPad/iPhone => UTM). This worked for ISOs.

I also couldn't open .utm files (UTM would open, but not import it), but by putting them in the folder and force-quitting and reopening the app, they just appeared.

[osy]

I still cannot reproduce this on my iPhone 12 Pro or iPad Pro 2018 (both on iOS 14.2). When trying to import an image, I can select any file. People here are seeing that all the files are grayed out and cannot be selected?

[cleverer]

To clarify: the ISO wasn't greyed out for me. when tapping it nothing happened… I did play around and found the "Browse" button in the VMDetailsView. When trying to select the iso there, a warning popped up stating that the current version could only use ISOs that are in the App directory.

I did just check again however, I now seem to be able to import the ISO. I assume it might be, because I'm now running my own build?

[yrjo]

for me, i can tap the icon for importing the files, i can see ISO file, but once tapping to the file, nothing happens
its possible to create the new drive, by tapping to "plus" icon, but if choosing the option "CD/DVD" image, its not possible to chose the existing file.

i am running build from here, IPA, signed by my dev paid cert

[osy]

nothing happened

Does the file selector close?

[cleverer]

nothing happened

Does the file selector close?

Nope, the file quickly gets highlighted (as is expected) and then looses the highlight immediately. nothing more happened, file selector stayed open.

[acfrazier]

I am also having this issue. I am able to add the iso directly from the file picker (box with down arrow), but it disappears once the app is closed. I then have to delete the entire virtual machine because it won't let me pick or re-add the same .iso.

[osy]

@acfrazier you mean when you save the VM the iso doesn’t get saved? I think that’s a different issue than described here where people cannot even close the file picker.

[ZonD80]

My issue #521 was merged & closed. However, according to @acfrazier I can't import qcow2 even if I copy it to UTM data folder.
@osy86 is your iPad jailbroken?

I suppose this issue happens only for non-jb devices, when app is running without Xcode. Unfortunately I have no device with jailbreak right now.

I have compared release IPA and signed IPA file, the only difference is that signer adds entitlements and UIFileSharingEnabled=true , and signature change ofc.

[osy]

I’m on iOS 14.2, there is no jailbreak.

What do you mean the signer adds UIFileSharingEnabled? It should be in the unsigned version as well.

[ZonD80]

Sorry. This:
<key>UISupportsDocumentBrowser</key> <true/>
Not UIFileSharingEnabled.

PS: my drive image is very big, about 5 GB. Maybe it is the problem?

[firecrafts]

if you need me to send video or stream of this problem or anything can help let me know

[kkebo]

I'm using iPadOS 14.2 and it's not jailbroken. I have a paid Apple Developer account.

• Case 1. iOS App Signer
  • Result: importing drive doesn't work just like Cannot import iso drive image #519 (comment)
  • Steps:
    1. Download UTM.ipa from https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases/tag/v2.0.8
    2. Using iOS App Signer 1.13.1, change the signing certificate, the provisioning profile, and the application ID
       • I selected the Apple Development certificate and the "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: *", and used xyz.kebo.UTM as a new application ID
    3. Save the new ipa file
    4. Install it with Xcode's "Devices and Simulators" window
• Case 2. Build with Xcode 12.2 Release Candidate
  • Result: importing drive works (both Debug and Release)
  • Steps:
    1. git clone https://github.com/utmapp/UTM.git
    2. git checkout v2.0.8
    3. Download Sysroot-ios-arm64 from https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/actions/runs/348441158 and extract it into the UTM directory
    4. Open UTM.xcodeproj
    5. Change the Team and the Bundle Identifier on the Signing settings
       • My bundle ID is xyz.kebo.UTM.
    6. Build and Run

[ZonD80]

@kkk669 can you please export built IPA file from Xcode and give me link to it?
What xcode version did you use to build app?

[ZonD80]

Looks like issue is related to entitlements. Bundle ID in entitlements must match bundle ID in Info.plist, I will try to test it tomorrow.

[osy]

I was able to reproduce this issue but only with iOS App Signer. It worked fine for me on both Xcode and AltStore (beta). I also tried adding UISupportsDocumentBrowser to an Xcode run and it worked fine so I don't think that's the issue.

[ZonD80]

Confirmed. application-identifier entitlement must match "team_id.bundle_id" in Info.plist. Otherwise it is not working and making app incompatible with almost all alternative signing software. Btw, tested with Rickpactor and appdb PRO - works fine.

[ecstaticax]

Same problem for me. 14.2 iPad Pro 2020, self signed no jailbreak, if I click on .iso file to import, nothing happens.

[osy]

@ZonD80 can you explain what you mean? iOS App Signer should update Info.plist automatically with the profile you selected and replace CFBundleIdentifier with the application-identifier entitlement.

[ZonD80]

Never used ios app signer. Maybe it makes entitlements and Info.plist to not match, so maybe that's why it is not working.

[osy]

Like I said it specifically makes it match. Can you tell me what you did to say that bundle id is the issue?

[ZonD80]

Then it should work. I'll check ios app signer as well.

[osy]

I tried a couple of different variations and it seems like the problem occurs when you use a wildcard provisioning profile. This is probably an Apple bug and should be reported to them.

[osy]

Those who are using iOS App Signer should build this pull request DanTheMan827/ios-app-signer#163 to get a fixed version to sign UTM.

I did it, but it didn’t work. I will try to compile utm.

Works, I am able to pick .iso file now. But had to uncheck "No get-task-allow".

[brunocastello]

How I build this from a pull request? I have never done it before.

EDIT: Nevermind. Googled and learned a thing or two on how to do it. I think I successfully managed to build iOS App Signer with the new PR.

[brunocastello]

Just ran a patched iOS App Signer with no-get-task-allow unchecked, on the build @osy had to fix my issue with the popups about not being jailbroken (when I am actually jailbroken, yes) and all my issues are gone. No more nagging popups and I can now use a removable drive with my Windows 98SE VM. I’m feeling great 👍🏼 As always, fantastic job, osy!

[ecstaticax]

Hi, how do I uncheck "no-get-task"?

[ViRb3]

Thanks a lot for the fix! Until this PR get merged, here is a fork of the signer app with the fix applied and prebuilt binaries via GitHub CI: https://github.com/ViRb3/ios-app-signer

[osy]

See osy/Jitterbug#1 (comment) as well

[nandahtb]

Does this app is a dead web ?
No solution from them Lol.
Everyone can't select the iso file, good app.

[osy]

@nandahtb It’s because you can’t read the instructions.

[nandahtb]

@osy so what the solution?

[ViRb3]

@osy so what the solution?

Sign the app properly. The problem is in you, not the app. If you deviate from the official instructions then you're on your own. This issue can be closed btw, it's been long resolved.
