Around a week ago, we reported about the implications that iOS & iPadOS 18.4 developer beta 1 had on the use of just-in-time (JIT) compilation for iPhone and iPad apps used outside of the native debugger, which would affect its use inside of sideloaded apps with the help of utilities like AltJIT, SideJIT, and Jitterbug, among others.
Another week, another intriguing write-up by the young and talented hobbyist security researcher @alfiecg_dev, who just this weekend published a blog post about a new deterministic kernel exploit called Trigon that is based on CVE-2023-32434, the same bug that the Kernel File Descriptor (KFD) exploit utilized with puaf_smith and was patched in iOS & iPadOS 16.5.1.

If you’ve been following along in the app sideloading and game emulation communities for the iPhone and iPad, then you might have heard of something called JIT, which many app developers have been particularly excited about because it can boost performance in certain situations by recompiling code extemporaneously.
Apple seeded its first iOS & iPadOS 18.4 developer betas on Friday to set the groundwork for major upgrades in Apple Intelligence and other things. But as most jailbreakers already know, none of these firmware updates post-iOS 16.5.1 can be jailbroken on any arm64e (A12 and later) device.
Jailbreaking iPhones is a special hobby that requires a special type of person – specifically, it requires the type of person who wields a curious mind that always strives to do more with their rightfully owned handset than Apple intends with its own software out of the box.
The Status Bar is one of the most important informative components of the iOS user interface, containing not only the current time, but also your cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity status, among other things. With that in mind, it’s a head scratcher as to why Apple excluded it from the App Switcher.
Apple just last Monday released iOS & iPadOS 18.3.1 to the general public to address a security concern in which an attacker would disable USB Restricted Mode on affected devices, potentially opening users of these devices up to forms of malicious activity.
