iOS developers @Little_34306 and @straight_tamago have pushed a new update for their SparseRestore-based MisakaX iPhone and iPad customization utility, which harnesses an exploit in device backups to make these changes possible.
MisakaX, the latest project by former Misaka project developer @straight_tamago and a SparseRestore exploit-based device customization tool for iPhones and iPads running iOS & iPadOS 16.0 and later, received even more important updates this past week with new features and improvements.
It was just this week that iOS developers @straight_tamago and @Little_34306 released MisakaX — a SparseRestore-based device customization utility for macOS and Windows that gives users a graphical user interface as opposed to a command line interface.
You may remember the once popular Misaka package manager app by iOS developer @straight_tamago, which could be used in conjunction with the Kernel File Descriptor (KFD) exploit on compatible handsets to customize non-jailbroken devices.
The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap received an update to version 1.2.5 this week, and it could not have come at a better time considering TrollStore users finally have an installation method for iOS & iPadOS 17.0 by way of TrollRestore.
It seems to be a big day for TrollStore. Not only did we witness the first public release of TrollStore Lite early Monday morning, but just this evening, TrollStore co-developer @alfiecg_dev took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the much-anticipated launch of a TrollStore installation method that supports iOS & iPadOS 17.0.
Just over a week ago, we teased an AppSync-based TrollStore Lite for jailbroken devices that developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) said would be coming soon with a plethora of benefits over using the traditional TrollStore perma-signing utility. As of today, the day has finally come for such a project to be released.
Ever since AltStore came to be, sideloading on the iPhone and iPad has become a very popular activity. This speaks volumes about people’s desire to install non-App Store approved apps on their devices, and it also gave lots of mobile developers ideas about how the sideloading experience could be improved.
The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap for TrollStore received a new beta update early Thursday morning, officially bringing it up to version 1.2.4 beta.
Just last week, we told you about a fork of the Serotonin semi-jailbreak called NathanLR by iOS developer Nathan (@dedbeddedbed) that improves compatibility with rootless-oriented jailbreak tweaks and uses a more reliable exploit — the same one used by TrollInstallerX.
Having the skillset to reverse engineer things with respect to the iPhone and iPad can be particularly valuable, especially if you’re a security researcher, developer, or advanced-level power user. But what if reverse engineering could be made easier and more approachable?
I’ve long been a user of the SF Symbols app that Apple offers for macOS because it lends an extensive library of more than 6,000 unique symbols that Apple’s many operating systems use and that blend seamlessly with the San Francisco system font of those systems.
