I spent some time digging into the original rationale for why the change was implemented, and it appears the root cause was that Fedora stopped supporting SHA1 signed certificates: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2124349
Given there are no such changes planned for Noble, this backport would strictly be a nice-to-have. Even though I agree using SHA256 over SHA1 is preferred, it's unfortunately not a justification for an SRU. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #2124349 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2124349 ** Changed in: libimobiledevice (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: libimobiledevice (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ural Tunaboyu (uralt) => (unassigned) ** Tags removed: dcr-incoming -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libimobiledevice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2113361 Title: [SRU - Noble] Backport SHA256 signature fix Status in libimobiledevice package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: libimobiledevice does not support SHA256 pairing signatures in Ubuntu 24.04 (and 25.04). This causes incompatibility with newer iOS devices that require SHA256 signatures for pairing (instead of old SHA-1). This was already fixed in Debian in the libimobiledevice package version 1.3.0+git20250228-2 by the following commit (downstream patch): https://salsa.debian.org/imobiledevice-team/libimobiledevice/-/commit/6cad52895ef1a8dacce9f83723c7c87e6b7dc309 Please, consider backporting the patch as a SRU into Ubuntu 24.04 (and 25.04) to make the pairing and file shares work correctly with newer iOS devices.
