It seems apple aren't keen on Spire and it's growing popularity. So much so that they're enforcing more rules to break it for Spire users.

Previously, you only needed Spire, a host and a certificate and you were away. Now Apple have added a "SetActivationToken" which has disabled Siri for almost everyone on illegitimate devices.

A temporary (hopefully) workaround of deleting "com.apple.assistant.plist" from "/var/mobile/library/preferences" on the device appears to resolve the issue for now, but will this become another game of cat and mouse for apple, just like in Jailbreaking?

No doubt we'll soon find out!

Noooooo

Hummm Spire is legal, hope we will find a duration solution !!! Grrrrr Apple....😥

I don't undertand it's writing delete " com.apple.plist" but impossible to find it in the folder preference. I deleted com.apple.assistant.plist, but after a respring, come back again....help please !!

This sucks for a lot of Spire users but I don't really need Siri so I guess I'm not concerned.
Still I think it's important that we keep Spire alive.

That's supposed to happen.

It might be legal or whatever. But apple can change whatever they like to make it not or make it impossible. You are essentially pirating software.

Here's a video to support this article.

Many thanks to Paradox Productions for putting the word out on their site

Love your Spire server and hope it continues

mine works fine

Thx Channan, i undertand, but always impossible to find com.apple.plist !

I want a spire server

There's no com.apple.plist as far as I know. The only file you delete is com.apple.assistant.plist.

What proxy are you using BTW?

Ok need to delete com.apple.plist...a solution will be find at the end of tomorrow apparently ! Thx to Paradox Production and iHackMy !

No. Lol

Delete com.apple.assistant.plist and respring. Then go to http://paradox-produ...e=server-status and look at the bottom row of the tablet that says "Accepting new people". It'll tell you how much longer it'll be until they accept new people. When it says "Happy hour" keep trying to connect by activating Siri.

Ignore com.apple.plist. I don't know where you saw that but the only file you need to delete is com.apple.assistant.plist.
