Apple Device Activation Server Emulator

This PHP-based project served as the main activation server for tedddbyActivator — a powerful iCloud bypass solution for jailbroken Apple devices. Unlike simulated tools, this activation server was fully functional, generating legitimate activation responses accepted by real devices during the bypass process.

🚫 Notice (2023)

Apple has patched the activation methods used by this server as of 2023.
The project is no longer functional, and is archived here for reference and educational purposes only.

🚀 Features

• Fully emulated Apple's albert.apple.com/deviceservices/deviceActivation endpoint.
• Generated activation records (activation_record.plist) accepted by actual iPhones and iPads.
• Signed activation requests using embedded RSA private keys and Apple FairPlay certificate chains.
• Supported baseband ticket generation and proper token signing.
• Outputted FairPlay key data, device certificates, and account tokens.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• PHP: Core backend logic.
• OpenSSL: RSA signature generation and certificate handling.
• cURL: Communicated with Apple’s services or responded locally.
• Plist XML: Structured data format for activation records.
• Apple FairPlay Certificates: Included to mimic secure Apple authentication chains.
