iCloud3 v3.1.4.1 ➤ 12/24/2024 - A new release is available #409

gcobb321 · 2024-12-24T20:52:19Z

Happy holidays

Change Log - v3.1.4.1 (12/24/2024)

APPLE ACCOUNT PASSWORD AUTHENTICATION:
- Reverted back to the old password authentication protocol before the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol was implemented
- The Password SRP protocol will be tried if the old password authentication protocol fails.
ADD ICLOUD3 DEVICE SCREEN (Redesign) - Redesigned the screen so the basic tracking parameters (iCloud & Mobile App devices and picture) are selected on this screen instead of the Update Device screen.
UPDATE DEVICE SCREEN (Redesign) - The rarely used fields (inZone & Fixed Interval, Track from Zone, etc) are not displayed if they are using the default values. A check box is enabled to display these fields.
TOOLS SCREEN (New Feature) - A Tools screen replaces the Actions screen on the Configure Menu screen. This is used for configuration file maintenance to reset all Devices Apple Account fields, Delete all Apple Accounts and Devices, Delete all iCloud3 and Apple Account cookie files, etc.
STARTUP (Improved) - Error and warning messages have been improved when setting up Apple Accounts and the Mobile App devices. When errors are encountered (devices can not be found, invalid Apple Account information, etc), an attempt will be made to correct the error using known device names and identification codes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and the configuration will need to be updated.
ERROR & WARNING MESSAGES (Improved) - Changed various messages to improve readability and simplify the text.
ICLOUD3 LOG FILES - The name of the log file was changed from icloud3-0.log to icloud3.log.
A lot of internal code changes to improve code maintenance and to remove dead code.

What's Next:

YubiKey support.
Implementation of the Password SRP protocol as the primary method of authentication passwords. It works but asks for the 6-digit verification code constantly. I have things to try but it will need long-term testing to insure the verification code request is minimized.
There are times when HA adds a _2 extension to the device_tracker and sensor entity name when HA is reloaded and the iCloud3 integration is still running. A new Tool will be developed to easily reset these entity names to their correct name without the _2.
Update the iCloud3 User Guide with all the new stuff and to make it easier to find what you are looking for.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

thanks for all of your hard work!

gcobb321 · 2024-12-25T22:17:19Z

Your welcome. Much appreciated.

Friedi1970 · 2024-12-26T13:29:17Z

I really appreciate your work but unfortunately all my devices (again) are not available :(
I even can't login into my account ...

And the account as well as the password is correct. Logged into with the same cred. at icloud.com.

Btw. Anyway, I wish you a very merry christmas.

Go to Settings > System > Log and look for an error message related to iCloud3. What is it?

@Friedi1970 Go to Settings > System > Log and look for an error message related to iCloud3. What is it?

Well, there is nothing because I deleted the account to login again. Unfortunately that doesn't work at all ...

gcobb321 · 2024-12-26T13:58:55Z

Restart HA and try again. See if you get the error again.

Friedi1970 · 2024-12-26T14:07:23Z

I did a complete system restart and tried again. It doesn't work.
I figured out a (maybe) additional problem. When copying and pasting user name and/or password there is an additional space before the name/password.
Anyway, it doesn't work for me :(

gcobb321 · 2024-12-26T14:10:59Z

A detailed error message would be helpful if it is in the HA logs.
Spaces are stripped from the p/w before processing but I’ll make sure.

Friedi1970 · 2024-12-26T14:24:02Z

A detailed error message would be helpful if it is in the HA logs.

As I wrote, there is nothing within the logs. The only message I get is the error above. Please see the screen in my first comment.

500Foods · 2024-12-26T14:35:15Z

I was having all kinds of trouble, so I used the menu items to clear out all the config settings and reset up my config from the beginning, and all went smoothly. Didn't take more than 5 minutes.

gcobb321 · 2024-12-26T14:39:07Z

@500Foods
I guess you used the new Tools screen?

Friedi1970 · 2024-12-26T14:39:52Z

I restored from my yesterday's backup and with that I switched back to v3.0.5.9 which works again but unfortunately I can't do any update of icloud 3 because I always run into trouble :-(

500Foods · 2024-12-26T14:52:16Z

@500Foods I guess you used the new Tools screen?

Was that new? I just saw it in the list and thought I'd give it a try. Worked great. Good job! I don't know what the problem was. The first time I tried after this update, I couldn't get logged in to Apple - it kept saying it was the wrong auth code. Then I tried later and that worked, but I couldn't configure the devices - just an unknown error. So I reset it all and everything sailed on through. I suppose with people with various versions upgraded over time, perhaps something was lingering about that was tripping it up. Sorry I didn't save any of the logs for you, but it is working, so I'm happy.

wormvortex · 2024-12-26T16:55:07Z

Not working for me.

The Verification Code was not correct. Reenter or request a new code

Just keep getting this when I try and log into my apple account.

gcobb321 · 2024-12-26T17:25:26Z

@Friedi1970
Reinstall v3.1.4.1 and try again. If you get Apple Account errors, select Configure > Tools > Delete all Apple accounts and Devices. Then add the Apple account and Devices you want to track again. That will clear any configuration problems that might be lingering in the configuration file when going from v3.0.5.9 to v3.1.4.1.

I'd di if I knew where to find that file.

gcobb321 · 2024-12-26T21:05:54Z

That file is in the config directory, the same location as the home-assistant.log file and a lot of other HA files.

lane333999 · 2024-12-27T07:20:05Z

Hi, I'm having the same error message,
I can find 2 errors in the log.
Attached the screen shots and log content.

@happyeddit @lane333999
I've patched the module that interfaces with the Apple Acct to try to solve the ENDPOINT error. I could never get that error but reworked the code to try to prevent it from occurring.

Unzip the zip file below into the icloud3/support directory and restart HA.
patch-v3.1.4.2-pyicloud_ic3.zip

@Friedi1970
You might want to unzip the file also. I do not think it will help you. I found some problems dealing with invalid passwords during the initial startup in Stage 1 where an invalid password would give an 'Invalid p/w' message when it was probably invalid and later in the Stage 3 think the p/w was really valid when it probably was not. Then when you try to correct it in the Configure > Data Sources > Username Password screen, it would not update to the correct password and display the wrong error message. I'm still working on that problem.

Meanwhile, edit the -.support/icloud3/configuration_ file. Enter your correct password in the 2 password fields highlighted below. Type it between the quote marks, replacing the ««R2NpdDMyMTc=»» with yourrealpassword. Keep the quote marks.

Then restart HA and see if you get in. I do not think you will but lets try that anyway

Looks like it was a permission error. Log showed

** [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/config/.storage/icloud3.apple_acct/tmp442v7esl'
18:38:26 – (ERROR) iCloud3 v3 (custom integration) - message first occurred at 18:37:51 and shows up 2 times**

I've changed the folders permissions and can log in fine now. Only issue I now face is it will list all my Apple devices but it is not listing my partners when it did before.

To be honest, I am not that familiar with terminal and I have no clue where to find the .support folder.
Since the version v3.0.5.9 works fine for me at the moment I will wait for a working fix.
Thanks for your help and I hope my log could help you!!!

Thanks a lot Gary for your ongoing support and for your hard work.

gcobb321 · 2024-12-28T15:13:02Z

@Friedi1970
I found a problem where an invalid password, or one that didn’t pass a validity test, when starting iCloud3 could not be changed in the Configure > Data Sources … > Apple Username/Password screen. Yours was getting the’ invalid Password’ message when starting iCloud3 and you could not correct it.

I can send you a zip file that you could unzip into the config/custom_compontnts/icloud3 directory to try it if you want.

gcobb321 · 2024-12-28T15:13:43Z

gcobb321 · 2024-12-28T18:13:32Z

@Friedi1970
Here is v3.1.4.2b2 with the following changes:

APPLE ACCOUNT LOGIN (Fixed)
- Fixed a problem verifying the password before logging into the Apple account when iCloud3 was starting.
- Fixed a problem where a valid password may fail the initial verification test and an invalid password may pass the validation test.
- Fixed a problem where a password that failed the initial verification test could not be corrected on Configure > Data Sources ... > Apple Username/Password screen.
UPDATE ICLOUD3 DEVICE (Fixed) - Fixed a problem where changing the Apple account and/or Mobile App device selection would be saved in the configuration file but not used when iCloud3 was restarted after the Configure update.

I have not released this yet. There are still several other things I want to look at. Let me know if it works or if you still have issues.

If there are problems, go to Configure > Tools and select Log Level - Debug. Then restart iCloud3 and go through the startup process and the process that does not work. Then send the icloud3.log file to geekstergary@gmail.com like you did before. Debug will give me more info and data to look at.

Unzip into the icloud3 directory and restart HA
icloud3 v3.1.4.2b2.zip

Friedi1970 · 2024-12-29T09:48:51Z
