Many users via Twitter have reported that they are facing issues connecting to servers. Did you face such an issue? Here is the solution if are also one victim of the Spire blocking issue.

However, currently, to fix this SetActivationToken Siri server connection issue, it is recommended to just delete the com.apple.assistant.plist file located in the var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ directory, which will resolve the issue. Some users have reported of this solution to be working.

But like jailbreak, it seems that Apple has now begun the cat and mouse chase for Siri, and there is no guarantee that for how much time this solution will work or we can say, Apple will soon be implementing something new technique to block the Spire.

Those who are facing issues with there Spire app can use the alternate cydia apps Sara and Evi or Speaktoit in App store which does not require ay third party server and provides Siri like functionality for older devices.
