Wednesday saw two separate jailbreak tools (Electra and unc0ver) pick up support for iOS 11.4.x, so one might be inclined to say that it’s been a decent day for the jailbreak community. But wait… there’s more!
Wednesday evening, hacker and software tinkerer @Geosn0w announced the release of an incomplete ‘developer-only jailbreak’ for iOS 12.0-12.1.2 dubbed OsirisJailbreak12. The work was made possible by the tfp0 exploit that was just recently unleashed by security researcher Brandon Azad:
In this tutorial, we will show you how to locate your iPhone's UDID number to streamline app testing, device registration, troubleshooting, and more.
Brazilian developer Guilherme Rambo has unearthed a curious reference—“iPhone xx”—from Apple's Xcode development app, probably hinting at a cheaper-to-build iPhone 7 model.
On Sunday, Cydia creator Jay Freeman (Saurik) issued a modest update for his Cydia Impactor utility for Mac, Windows, and Linux with bug fixes and improvements.
One of Cydia Impactor’s primary use is to side-load jailbreak apps for modern tools such as Electra, Meridian, and Yalu, but a recent issue involving authentication resulted in users receiving error code 160 when attempting to use the utility.
With no USB-C port to connect it to a computer, the Apple TV 4K falls firmly into the category of "irksome products which Apple doesn't want you to mess with". However, although it is easier to get your own apps onto its older brother the Apple TV 4, it's still possible to sign and sideload apps on the 4K.
The next version of macOS is almost certainly going to be revealed on Monday, June 4 at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Now there's proof, courtesy of a 30-second video preview of Xcode for macOS 10.14 accidentally leaked by Apple and discovered by developer Steve Troughton Smith. The leak is significant in that it probably gives away at least three secrets about the next operating system for Mac.
Aside from previewing the major new features and enhancements coming to your iPhone and iPad this spring via the forthcoming iOS 11.3 software, and releasing a barrage of new OS betas, Apple yesterday also dropped the Xcode 9.3 beta with some interesting new capabilities.
Developers are always connecting their devices to their machines. It has been a necessary evil to install apps, perform diagnostics, screen recordings, and more. In Apple's purge of wires, Xcode 9 has unlocked the ability to connect tvOS, or iOS devices to your Mac wirelessly.
If you're an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus user on iOS 10.0.0-10.1.1, the time has come for you to switch from the mach_portal jailbreak to the newer, more stable extra_recipe. If you're a flagship user on iOS 10.1 or iOS 10.1.1 it's as easy as downloading the .ipa and sideloading it; you can follow our guide on the subject.
However, if you're on iOS 10.0.0-10.0.x, or if you have a device other than the iPhone 7(+), there isn't currently an .ipa available which supports you. For that reason, we'll show you how to build your own straight from the source code on GitHub and push it to your device, so you needn't wait to get the newest features and device support.
Depending on how advanced of an iOS user you are, you may sideload apps from time to time.
In many circumstances, sideloading third-party apps via Impactor or Xcode involves trusting a certificate – a process you should be familiar with if you've jailbroken with Yalu102 or Pangu for iOS 9 – but iOS doesn’t make the trusting process easy or straightforward out of the box.
Here to fix that problem is a new free jailbreak tweak called QuickTrust by iOS developer 1GamerDev, which adds a “Trust” button directly to the certificate pop-up alert, as shown above.
Apple’s European iOS App Development Center at the University of Naples has opened its doors to students on Thursday. British newspaper The Guardian visited Apple's school for programmers in the days leading up to the launch, showing off the facility in a batch of photos. The project was formally announced in January 2016. Specialized curriculum gives students practical skills and training on developing iPhone, iPod touch and iPad apps.
A developer for the Apple Watch has found a way to emulate the Windows 95 operating system experience on Apple's flagship wearable accessory.
Albeit nothing more than a concept, it really does show off how powerful the Apple Watch's internal hardware really is. This is just one of those things you have to see to believe.
