The iDownloadBlog team remains everlastingly dedicated to following the latest projects in the iPhone and iPad hacking communities as it relates to jailbreaking and installing add-ons that Apple would never think of allowing in the App Store.

While we report on such instances normally throughout the work week, we also come at you every Sunday morning with a dedicated roundup piece that makes it easy for anyone who hasn’t been in the loop get caught back up with the times.
In today’s roundup, we’ll be taking a look at the latest developments in the community, spanning the week of Monday, December 30th to Sunday, January 5th. Oh, and Happy New Year to everyone!
Important stuff from this week
nitoTV teased on tvOS 18.2

The nitoTV plug-in for Apple TV has been teased on tvOS 18.2 for the first time, a feat made possible by the palera1n jailbreak.
This means that a completed package manager-style platform capable of hosting jailbreak tweaks and add-ons may soon be added to palera1n for the Apple TV.
You can learn more about this in our full news post.
Dopamine updates
The Dopamine jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 devices received an unexpected update on Tuesday to version 2.3, which was quickly pulled after users reported serious issues with it.
You can learn more about the latest update and when we think it’ll make its comeback in our full news post.
EverPwnage updates
The EverPwnage jailbreak was updated to version 1.1 this past week with several major improvements, including support for the untether on all 32-bit iOS 8.0-9.0.2 devices.

MySign
MySign is a new and spiffy-looking application for iPhone and iPad users that works as a massively-centralized repository browser for your favorite sideloadable .ipa files.
At some point in the future, the developer strives to add sideloading capabilities directly into the app, which will make it more of an all-in-one experience for sideloading enthusiasts.
You can learn more about MySign and how it works in our full review post.
Nugget updates
