Expected Behavior

There are some wrong characters within mobileconfig and my console (macOS) is also giving me errors and skipping the mobileconfig, as it has errors.
Skipping configuration d.adguard-dns.com DoH because it is of the wrong type

Actual Behavior

• mobileconfig with correct characters should be the output from the dashboard
• when creating mobileconfigs with a tool and enter the AdGuard-DNS credentials the system doesn't skip the configuration.

Could you please share the mobileconfig file with us on devteam@adguard.com?

Also, there are no invalid characters in the mobileconfig file. You're just trying to view a binary signed file with a text reader.

As of privacy-reasons I cannot share it... But you can simply test it at your side... Look inside your generated mobileconfig files. They do have invalid characters in the upper part... In the lower part of the file you can see invalid characters because of the binary signed file.

All other providers do have 'clear characters' in the upper part of the configuration files. AdGuard is the only one having those wrong characters within it. (Maybe because of some errors during automatic creation of those files?).
And macOS is also sending out errors within console log showing that the mobileconfig files from AdGuard are broken.

So it definitively looks like there is some bug within it.

The problem is that we checked and it's a valid mobile configuration file.

This we also cannot reproduce and that's why I asked for your profile file, maybe it was generated incorrectly for one of your devices?

Hi. Thx for the fast reply. I tried it with two separate accounts (I friend of mine is having the same issues).
Tried it with several devices (within AdGuard Dashboard), tried it with auto download, using the profile creator tool and so on.
All with the same result - the mobileconfigs do all have those issues and look all the same (having the glitches like seen here #777 (comment) and giving me the named error within console log).

just to give you an update as even with v2.9 the bug is still there.

Just compare it to your standard mobileconfig files you can download from here: https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

They don't have those glitches/bugs.

And yes - I know those profiles are 'signed'. But not within the part <plist version="1.0"> </plist>.
