Unc0ver for TV jailbreak for Apple TVs gets updated to a second beta

Just yesterday, the unc0ver Team launched the first unc0ver for TV v5.1.0 beta, permitting Apple TV owners on the latest version of tvOS to jailbreak their Apple-branded set top box. The news came just a few days after unc0ver picked up support for iOS and iPadOS 13.5.

Early Wednesday morning, however, the unc0ver Team published a second beta of unc0ver for TV v5.1.0. The announcement was shared early Wednesday morning via the official unc0ver Team Twitter page:

Unc0ver for TV v5.1.0 b1 released with support for latest tvOS

Team unc0ver has launched yet another iteration of its novel jailbreak, this time focusing on support for the latest versions of tvOS for the Apple TV. Unc0ver for TV is a separate fork from the traditional unc0ver jailbreak and begins at version 5.1.0 beta 1.

News regarding the new unc0ver for TV release was shared first by the unc0ver Team via Twitter Tuesday afternoon:

Unc0ver jailbreak adding support for latest version of tvOS soon

In case you missed it, the unc0ver jailbreak added support for iOS/iPadOS 13.5 over Memorial Day weekend via a new 0-day exploit from Pwn20wnd, which conveniently also happens to be the latest available firmware version for iPhones and iPads from Apple. So yes, you can literally update your iOS/iPadOS devices to the latest version and jailbreak it, folks!

But if you paid any attention to team unc0ver’s announcements when the first update (v5.0.1) dropped, you might’ve noticed that the team is planning near-future support for the latest version of tvOS, and it seems some rather interesting things could be coming to the platform.
