What the app collects

Nothing. ByteLoader has no analytics, no crash reporting, no update checks, no ads and no third-party SDKs. There is no ByteKnot server involved at any point.

Where the app sends data

The complete list of network destinations:

• Apple's sign-in and developer servers. Your Apple ID password is sent only to Apple, using Apple's SRP login, so it is never transmitted in plain text. During an install, Apple receives the bundle IDs of the app, your device's UDID and name, and a certificate signing request. That is what Xcode sends too.
• An anisette server. Apple requires device-identity headers called anisette with every login. ByteLoader fetches them from ani.stikstore.app, a public server run by the StikStore project. It never sees your password, your Apple ID or your IPA files.

Your IPA files never leave your PC. Signing happens locally.

What the app stores on your PC

All of it lives in Windows Credential Manager, the same place Windows keeps your own saved passwords:

• Your Apple ID email address.
• Your Apple ID password, only if you tick Remember my password. Leave it unticked and it is not stored.
• The machine identity Apple issues for this PC.
• The development certificate and its private key, so apps can be re-signed later.

ByteLoader also keeps a local list of the apps it installed and their expiry dates.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the apps you sign and install, and for complying with Apple's terms for your Apple ID. ByteLoader is a signing and install tool. It does not provide apps or certificates.
