Description: No revokes using a PC
Background: This is the first real AltStore alternative and it's also the first to not be based around corecrypto. Everything except app installations is possible within Scarlet without a computer which also makes this the fastest
-> Connect option is for if you already have Scarlet installed from ScarletCloud
-> (re)install option is for installing Scarlet from ScarletCloud
after an option is chosen you are now ready to install apps from Scarlet
-> If you want to use another account just delete the config folder or the 'creds.json' file in it
Warning: For those who are new to apple security. Anisette are special headers needed for login to function and only Apple knows how to generate it.
This is why on windows it generates anisette with iCloud and iTunes and why on Mac it does it with a MailPlugin. When Scarlet or ScarletCloud is unable to get anisette natively it uses an anisette server.
Anisette servers are easily untrusted by apple this is the cause for -36607 error or account locking issues (login to apples website to unlock it)
^^^ so if you don't want to run into this use it wired or use virtual wifi-sync (ScarletCloud running on the same network as Scarlet)
Setup Windows: Download a binary based on your computer and execute it - iTunes and iCloud need to be installed
Setup macOS/Linux/Unix: Download a binary then make it executable using the command "chmod +x drag and drop binary" then you may double click it and it'll run
If you face issues with it detecting on Linux make sure to download usbmuxd with your package manager
