Direct Apple backend

Operate the clean-room APNs, IDS, identity, encryption, MMCS, attachment, and reaction stack.

Direct Apple backend — contract and behavior

  • The backend reimplements the protocol layers Apple's clients use and gates externally visible operations behind completed bootstrap state.
  • An operator runs the bootstrap CLI once per Apple ID; the service reads persisted device, identity, push, and anisette state afterward.
  • The default bootstrap mode is a dry run; live mode contacts Apple and requires explicit account and host precautions.
  • Anisette rotates on its shorter cadence while device certificate and push-token state are longer-lived.

Stay in the loop. Never miss out.
