This Pull Request aims to clarify the requirements for new Apple IDs when using Macless-Haystack, as the current setup can lead to repeated "Account limit reached" or "A server problem is blocking Apple ID sign in" errors.
As also discussed in issue #229 and related PR #226 (which addresses a similar problem), Apple's stricter security for iCloud services now requires that even a new "dummy" Apple ID must be initialized on a physical Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) by opening the "Find My" app and accepting its Terms & Conditions. Web or iTunes login is no longer sufficient to provision the necessary iCloud storage and "Account Score".
