With the vast majority of modern jailbreaks for iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 being rootless, it should come as no surprise that tweak developers have started launching rootless versions of their tweaks with compatibility for the latest dynamic.
Zebra, a popular alternative package manager for various jailbreak tools, was updated to version 1.1.30 on Monday with a slew of bug fixes and improvements.
This past Wednesday, we saw the public testing release of the XinaA15 jailbreak tool for A12-A15 devices ranging from the iPhone XS to the iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.0-15.1.1, and while it supported tweak injection, there was an issue where users couldn’t sign in to repositories such as Havoc or Chariz via package managers like Sileo and Zebra. This, of course, meant that users couldn’t install their previously-purchased tweaks.
iOS developer SourceLocation is out today with a new app called deb-to-ipa-app that converts .deb-based apps into .ipa-based apps so that they can be installed and perma-signed with opa334’s TrollStore.
Along with all the other exciting news shared on Thursday, the Havoc repository is joining the commotion with a fresh announcement of its own.
In an unforeseen turn of events this week, the Hyperixa repository for jailbroken devices went offline with no word as to why. Hyperixa hosted a plethora of solid jailbreak tweaks we’ve shown our readers over the course of the past several months.
Havoc is one of the largest centralized jailbreak repositories that still lets developers sell paid jailbreak tweaks. The repository succeeded Packix to become that, and many developers have moved their tweaks over to Havoc to make tweak discovery easier for jailbreakers.
Some pretty big and exciting news for jailbreakers and jailbreak tweak developers alike on Friday — the Havoc repository is now adding PayPal support for purchasing paid jailbreak tweaks and other add-ons.
Twickd, a major repository used by jailbreak developers for hosting jailbreak tweaks and other add-ons for use by jailbreakers, just this week announced that it would retire its free PayPal library in August.
Many jailbreakers will remember a time in November of last year when the TitanD3v team decided to leave the jailbreak community and re-release all of its paid jailbreak tweaks as free.
If you’ve jailbroken an iPhone or iPad in the past five years, then you should be at least vaguely familiar with the Packix repository. It served as one of the biggest places for jailbreak tweak and theme developers to host their content, including paid packages in a post-Cydia Store community.
Hot off the heels of a rather juicy update launched over this past weekend, the Zebra package manager is out with another update this Monday evening, this time bringing it up to version 1.1.25.
