In an unfortunate turn of events Friday morning, the Sileo Team announced via Twitter that it would no longer accept applications from jailbreak tweak developers to feature packages on the front page that are being hosted on the official BigBoss repository.
Instead, the Sileo Team alluded that only packages being mirrored by the Essentialis Repository and the those hosted by the third-party Chariz and Dynastic Repo repositories would be eligible for being featured on Sileo’s front page. Consequently, the Sileo Team adds that developers should host in those repositories instead of BigBoss.

The latest kernel exploit reportedly comes by way of hacker PsychoTea, and it has been named machswap. The exploit appears to be viable on all A7-A9 devices running iOS 11.0-12.1.2, which could make it a worthwhile candidate for modern jailbreak tools such as Electra or unc0ver.

Those familiar with jailbreaking have undoubtedly heard about Sileo, a third-party package manager endorsed by the Electra Team that aims to compete with Cydia for market share; but what if we told you that you didn’t need to have a jailbroken handset to give Sileo a try?

The Sileo Team has been hard at work this week, renovating the Sileo beta preview and its various dependencies for optimal performance on devices that have been jailbroken using Electra.
