Taking advantage of a unique CoreTrust bug in iOS and iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1, TrollStore allows the user to permanently sideload apps on their iPhone or iPad without the need to re-sign them every seven days, otherwise known as perma-signing.
Follow along as we cover the latest development surrounding TrollStore.
You may have received word of TrollStar, the newer and more lightweight TrollStore installer that lacks all the additional fluff that comes with using a package manager app to install TrollStore. But as you might recall, it’s only for iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6.1 devices.
In the background of everything that’s been happening in the iPhone & iPad hacking communities recently, iOS developer udevsharold was working on a project they call TrollCuts, and from what we can gather, it just might be worth checking out if you use TrollStore on iOS or iPadOS 16 or later.
We previously showed you two ways to install TrollStore 2 on arm64e devices (A12 and newer) running iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.5 & 16.6 beta 1 via the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit. Those methods encompassed using the Misaka and PureKFD package manager apps, but it’s worth mentioning that you can also use the Picasso kfd-based toolbox app to accomplish the same task, if you so prefer.
If you’ve been searching for the best way to install TrollStore on your iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 16.0-16.6.1 thus far, then you’ve likely been met by a lot of options. Those include using Misaka, Picasso, and PureKFD, among others.
You may remember back in November when we shared the news about a novel Status Bar widget system called Helium by iOS developer LeminLimez, which effectively gave users more control over the look and feel of their iPhone’s Status Bar whether they were jailbroken or not.
The TrollStore perma-signing utility app, after already receiving two updates this week, was updated for a third time Friday afternoon, this time bringing it up to version 2.0.11.
TrollStore received its first update yesterday in several weeks, adding the ability to enable Developer Mode right from the app on iOS 16 and later. But on Friday, project lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) released another update, this time to version 2.0.10.
TrollStore, the perma-signing utility by iOS developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) that harnesses the power of a CoreTrust bug to let users permanently install sideloaded apps without re-signing them every seven days, added an important update on Thursday.
We previously showed you how you could use the Misaka package manager app to install TrollStore 2 on kfd-vulnerable arm64e (A12 and newer) devices running iOS & iPadOS 16.2-16.6.1 devices, but did you know that you can also use PureKFD if you prefer that app over Misaka?
It was only last week that we shared the incredible news that ElleKit tweak injection developer @eveiynee had successfully achieved true SpringBoard tweak injection using the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit and the CoreTrust bug harnessed by TrollStore.
So if you’ve been following along in the jailbreak community for the past year, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit, which supported iOS & iPadOS versions 16.0-16.5 & 16.6 beta 1, as well as iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7.6.
Just last week, the RootHide development team shared that it was working on a Procursus-based bootstrap for TrollStore 2 devices, which was intended to bring a jailbreak-like environment to iPhones and iPads running TrollStore 2.
