Hi Godders, here today I will help you resolve Cydia Impactor errors, below is a list of Cydia Impactor issues and fixes including fixes for ipa.cpp and zip.cpp errors.

159 Error   

This error tends to happen when a user attempts to use and outdated version of Cydia Impactor or tries to use an IPA with an expired certificate.

To fix the issue update Cydia Impactor

If the error 159 is due to and expiered certificate for Pangu IPA/Siagon IPA/Phoenix IPA Simply delete the App icon from your device, dowoad a new copy of the correct IPA and Sideload with Cydia Impactor

Provision.cpp:150 Error

This is the most common error people face in Cydia Impactor.

provision.cpp:150 Please Sign in with an app specific password” which means that you have Two-step-verification enabled, and you are gonna need a password which is generated for an app. Either you will have to turn off two-step-verification, which is not recommended or Just follow these steps :

Open this link on your computer browser and you will be redirected to appleid.apple.com.

https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin

There you will need to login, using the same Apple ID which you are using in cydia impactor.

Once logged in, scroll down a little until you see “Security” section. Here you want to click on the little edit link in the top right side.

Now if it asks you to answer your security questions then you will need to answer them and then click continue.

After that you will need to find “App-specific Passwords” section inside the Security section. Once there, click the “Generate password” link and it will ask you for a lable.

A lable is just for identification. I would suggest you to use “CydiaImpactor” as lable because this is where you are gonna use this password.

Once generated, you can go ahead and use this password inside Cydia Impactor. 

Now the “ipa.cpp:150 Please Sign in with an app specific password” error should have been fixed. 

provision.cpp:62 and cop:68 Error

Cydia Impactor needs to talk to the Apple servers and more specifically the server that are responsible for app development. provision.cpp:62 and cpp:68 are the errors that only happen when Cydia Impactor is unable to communicate with Apple servers.

Now this could mean that the Apple servers are down for maintainance or your DNS is not resolving properly.

Either way Cydia Impactor will spit out one of these two errors and you can’t really do much about it.

Other than visiting the Apple server status page (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) and seeing if there is some maintainace going on their end.

Just wait for a couple of hours and then try to sideload the ipa file again and it should work fine.

If apple servers are working fine and still you are seeing this error then you will need to connect to a VPN server and then try to sideload your IPA file. VPN will re-route all the network packets you are transmitting via different location and it will help solving provision.cpp:62 and ipa.cpp:68 error in cydia impactor.

IPA.cpp:145 application from a different account

Basically, this error comes up when you are trying to sideload modded version of an app while same app is already installed on your iPhone.

If you installed "Office Space" on your iPhone or iPad and then you wish to install a hacked version of Office Space, if you didn’t remove the already installed Office Space app before sideloading, Cydia Impactor will show you the error saying that “Installed application is from a different account”

Another reason you might face this issue is because you installed an app from 1 Apple ID and then after 7 days when the certificate expired, you are trying to install the same app using a different Apple ID.

To solve this issue, simply remove the already installed app from your iPhone and then you can install it again using cydia impactor.

Zip.cpp:312 Error

This error comes when either the Cydia Impactor is of old version or the IPA file you are trying to install it corrupted. Make sure that you have latest version of Cydia Impactor and the IPA file is coming directly from the original source.

If this doesn’t help then you will need to hard reset your iPhone by holding the Home and Power button at the same time.

This is error can sometimes be referred to as the cpp:577 error

Zip.cpp:311 Cannot unzip

If you are seeing zip.cpp:331 cannot unzip error in cydia impactor, there is only one reason for this error and that is the IPA file was not properly packaged. Or you didn’t download it properly.

An IPA file is jus a zip archive which contains all the contents of the app in a specific order. If that zip was not archived properly or you didn’t download it completely then Cydia impactor will not be able to extract it and that is why it spits out this error.

To fix this issue, simple download the IPA file again and make sure that it is completely downloaded before proceeding.

This error can sometimes be referred to as the cpp:577 error

Provision cpp:71 or cpp:81 Error

A lot of people have been getting this provision CPP:71 or cpp:81 error lately. After some digging I found a working solution to this error. You wouldn’t believe that it is very easy to fix.

• Open Cydia Impactor and select XCode from the menu. On windows, you can use a keyboard shortcut to do it.

• Now select Revoke Certificates from the XCode menu.

• Cydia impactor will ask for your Apple ID. Simply enter your Apple ID and the error should now be gone.

cpp:71 application already installed as incompatible team

This means that you have already installed the app. For example, if you’re trying to re-jailbreak your iPhone through Yalu after the 7 days certificate, you need to delete the Yalu app first and then try. 

Hope this helps resolve your Cydia Impactor issues, if you still have an error that is not posted above please comment below with the error and I will do my best to replicate and provide a fix as quick as possible.

Awesome work boii

Also, incompatible team means you are installing an app which is from a different source/Apple ID as original. If you re sign with everything same it shouldn't give error

Lol Professor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  if you found out then where is your answer ?

Error 159 is caused by either Users not revoking their certificates or using an outdated version of Cydia Impactor. 

Professor !
