While most jailbreak tools today are installing the well-accepted Sileo or Zebra package manager apps by default, the newer XinaA15 v2 jailbreak installs both the Sileo and Saily package managers straight out of the box with no way to opt out of installing Saily.
If you haven’t already heard, the XinaA15 jailbreak has made a substantial comeback. XinaA15 v2 launched on Sunday, November 26th in what can only be described as a complete re-write that makes use of Linus Henze’s Fugu15 Rootful developer jailbreak, kfd exploitation, and other goodies that make it leaps and bounds better than the original XinaA15 jailbreak.
When you download an app from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, it comes in an encrypted format. This encryption is designed to prevent apps from being shared from one person to another, effectively stopping unauthorized installs. In addition to this, however, encrypted apps also present problems for software tinkerers.
If you weren’t already aware, there’s a new jailbreak detection bypass in town called RootHide for the Dopamine jailbreak for devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1.
For those extended moments when it seems like there’s no jailbreak in sight, most iPhone and iPad tinkerers can get a quick fix from package manager apps that host add-ons for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits instead.
In case you didn’t know, there’s a nifty package manager app called PureKFD for MacDirtyCow and kfd exploit-compatible add-ons that can be acquired from Misaka and Picasso-based repositories.
If you haven’t already heard, there’s another package manager app for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits in town, and it’s called PureKFD. This project allows you to browse a whole host of repositories that support Misaka and Picasso-compatible packages.
When a third-party Reddit client known as Apollo first hit the App Store’s shelves in 2017, it was an app I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. Unfortunately, project developer Christian Selig was forced to shut the app down on June 30th after Reddit implemented heavy-handed API changes that effectively made running third-party Reddit client infeasible for indie developers like Selig.
Being able to obtain the raw .ipa files of the apps you own from the App Store is a powerful capability. Not only can you often decrypt those apps to run them on Apple silicon-equipped Macs, but you can also inject your own custom tweaks into those apps before sideloading them on your iPhone or iPad with utilities such as Sideloadly.
Much like you can install package manager apps like Cydia, Sileo, and Zebra on jailbroken devices, you can also install package manager apps on non-jailbroken devices so that you can take advantage of add-ons for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits.
If after using the TrollStore perma-signing utility you’ve decided that it isn’t for you or that you’d like to delete and re-install it for troubleshooting purposes, then you may need to know the best way to remove it from your device.
The Dopamine jailbreak for A12-A15 chipset-equipped devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 has been a complete hit ever since it launched. But if you’re wondering how to remove Dopamine, either because you’ve decided that jailbreaking isn’t for you or you’ve decided you want to start over from scratch, we’ve got you!
