VCInit bag
From The Apple Wiki
More actions
The VCInit "server bag" is a configuration file downloaded from Apple servers for several IDS features. Initially it was just for FaceTime, hence the name ("VC" is for FaceTime stuff), but its scope was expanded to many other features.
As of iOS 18, the URL is https://init.ess.apple.com/WebObjects/VCInit.woa/wa/getBag?ix=3.
Previous versions might have used lower ix= values,
but the contents seem to be identical now.
The bag is downloaded by code in the IDSFoundation framework,
and some setup (such as the bag URL) comes from IMFoundation.
Contents
"First seen" means when the key appeared in the public VCInit bag. This may be unknown if it was already present by the time we started monitoring for file changes (23 July 2021).
