Any idea why would my Trust Store Version be different? I have all recent updates.

My current trust store version is 2021021100 and trust version asset is 12. Any input would help.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Go to Settings/General and scroll to the bottom. Do you see and entry called Device Management? If it isn’t there your phone is not under MDM. If you do see it tap on it. Do you see a management profile? If you do you may be able to delete it by tapping on it.


Another way to check. Back up the phone, then restore it to factory settings. If it is under MDM you will see a page when you try to set it up saying that it is remotely managed, and who is managing it. If you don’t see that it is not controlled by Mobile Device Management.


The way a phone is added to an MDM account is by connecting it to a Mac that has the Apple Configurator 2 application installed.


And to come back to the theme of this thread, the most recent trust store version is 2021021100, Asset Version 13. And, a perceptive observer will notice that version is the date it was last updated, February 11, 2021.

And yet this is happening to my iPhone. Xcode being added, security works when I add it the stops working. For example, I added a DNS provider, DNS Security app, worked at first and then overnight says it’s connected in the app and in general settings it’s set as configured but the app has a warning at the bottom saying it’s not configured.


The SSL security app says it cannot connect to the host name. (Trying well known and simple urls)


do you have any idea how I can prevent Xcode being used to amend my phone.


My understanding is a developer can hide profiles and developer info from view if they choose to.


Please may I ask where you confirmed the most recent trust store version certificate number? It looks like that particular number is used to signify use of an enterprise/developer/extra trust certificates/MDM profile.

You can find your trust certificate number by going to settings - general - about - certificate trust settings. There seems to be a large number of people on the Internet who have flagged similar problems and this certificate number.


I can’t find anything official from Apple for confirmed trust certificate numbers past iOS 12.


Based on what the Apple helper advised on page 1, the trust certificate number indicates if other trust certificates have been added.


I found a file on my file application referring to a change of hosts and ending xcarchive, which probably stands for Xcode archive.


There was a huge hack of hundreds of millions of iPhones using counterfeit Xcode in 2015. This article refers to how hackers could be using Xcode to hack iPhones using developer certificates. It would certainly explain how someone has so much control over my iPhone.


Just today my VPN settings are being changed, settings turned off such as the malware protection, my browser refuses to allow the VPN to connect most of the time or disconnects it after I leave the page and my mirror screen control shows a constant loading circle in the top right corner and three blank spaces underneath that have haptic feedback when I press in the spaces.


i hope there’s someone who can help explain how this is happening and how to stop it because resets have done nothing to stop the problem.

This article lists the certificates for Trust Store version 2020082800, which is current for iOS 14.2 and later, iPadOS 14.2 and later, macOS 11 and later, watchOS 7.1 and later, and tvOS 14.2 and later.


Thank you for finding the link. This confirms the standard trust certificate should be different to ours. Do you use MDM/developer/enterprise or profiles on your devices?

No, I do not have MDM. And, as I said, my trust store version is 2021021100 Trust Asset 13 on 6 Apple devices. It’s just Apple’s documentation that has not been updated. Which I have reported through channels available to me as a level 10 user.


And, as I also said, MDM does not change the trust store version. What it does is add a profile in settings/General.


As this thread is just going around in circles I will cease following it going forward.
