Hey @opa334, I’ve been working on a TrollStore stealth mode idea and wanted your take on it.

Lately more apps seem to detect TrollStore installs by abusing CVE-2025-31207, so this patch tries to invalidate that without having to bother Apple.

Basically this updates TrollStore’s bundle ID from com.opa334.TrollStore to com.opa334.TrollStore.TS_<random>. It also gives users a Stealth Install option for their IPAs: bundle ID gets the same random suffix treatment, and URL schemes are stripped. Normal install is still kept because some IPAs may break when Info.plist is patched.

For updating, users currently need to open the new TrollStore.tar once in TrollStore, let it update, then do it again; on the second update, TrollStore reinstalls itself with the stealth suffix.

This looks like an interesting approach. My fear however is that there may be exploits that can list all installed app ids instead of just being able to probe against pre-set identifiers. I'm not fully sure how CVE-2025-31207 worked in this regard...

From what I see in the writeups (1, 2) I am able to find, it seems these apps are all exploiting SBSLaunchApplicationWithIdentifierAndURLAndLaunchOptions through which it is only possible to check against a pre-set identifiers. If we want to be very sure we need to run a patchdiff, though I doubt that is necessary.
