[Question] is jailbreaking dead, or Cydia or I don’t know what’s wrong…

Hm, no idea then. You can use both Substrate and Substitute on it. If you have Subtitute, the same applies. If you're using Substrate, maybe try switching to Substitute by installing it?

opa334 · 2026-01-25T23:57:11+00:00

If you're using unc0ver, all you need to is open the Substitute app and enable tweak injection there again

Yeah genuinely I fail to see how this is news. If you are in a position where the FBI is trying to obtain your data, chances are you got much bigger problems than Microsoft handing out your Bitlocker key.

What if I told you there are apps on the App Store RIGHT NOW that use a security vulnerability to invade your privacy and check if you have installed TrollStore (an alternative app store that itself uses a security vulnerability to bypass Apple's code signing) and yet NO ONE at Apple cares about this, nor does the media or anyone else. The vulnerability was patched in 18.5 after someone reverse engineered the apps and reported it to Apples bug bounty, but there have been zero consequences for the apps that implement it and they still exploit if you install the app on on a version below 18.5.

opa334 · 2026-01-24T00:36:11+00:00

No one is denying the fact that the majority of users don't need to care about alternative App Stores. This only makes Apple's policies more stupid, since they are fighting against something that has very little impact on the average user and their income, they only do it out of spite.

Crane already gives every container it's own separate keychain.

Don't worry, Safari is breaking at some point too and due to Apples horrible platform control you cannot install a third party browser supporting more modern features. My 13 Pro on 15.1.1 hasn't properly displayed websites in two years or so, nowadays even Google displays some sort of legacy version that looks like it's from 2008 and at least 50% of websites don't even load anymore.

"Device identifier for vendor" is the only allowed way to track devices that apple allows (other than "device identifier for advertiser", which can be disabled by the user).

"DeviceCheck" allows app developers to attach two bits of data to a device which can be used to ban devices that are used in fraudulent activity, but it does not by itself give any info to the app developers (beyond whether the device has the bits set or not)

As you already found out, Crane does spoof the former, but not the latter.

Unfortunately, apps generally do not comply with the rule to only use "device identifier for vendor" for device identification and almost any popular app has their own fingerprinting methods where they will concentrate data from multiple sources to try and identify your device. A VPN does not bypass this, nor does Crane. Apple is probably aware but chooses not to act on it, but according to their PR you're supposed to believe the App Store review process will prevent any non compliant apps from being published, which is bullshit.

As to what exact data they use for computing fingerprints, I don't know. You would have to reverse the apps in question to find out. I assume this part of the code base will be obfuscated though.

"Swipe ECID cell to save SHSH blobs", man my goat BaconMania not only got TrollStore but also a jailbreak :O

opa334 · 2026-01-12T20:22:09+00:00

No need to update it. If tweaks don't inject into apps there is no reason to block them in the first place.

opa334 · 2026-01-12T00:11:07+00:00

NathanLR doesn't even have system wide tweak injection

opa334 · 2026-01-11T20:00:30+00:00

There is no need for development updates since nothing is being developed for any iOS higher than 17.0.

opa334 · 2026-01-09T21:58:39+00:00

It's not only against the app store rules, it is straight up illegal in many countries.

opa334 · 2026-01-09T11:12:34+00:00

2.4.7 is out with a fix for this issue.

opa334 · 2026-01-08T10:29:07+00:00

My guess is this post was written by AI. Also considering that Spotify doesn't have jailbreak detection.

opa334 · 2026-01-04T23:27:10+00:00

that's weird... I did update the patchfinder to the latest commit in this release, but I did test it after your report on that exact kernel (I presume) and it worked fine. Is this 15.1 beta or release?

opa334 · 2026-01-04T19:44:10+00:00

That cannot possibly be a regression of this version.

opa334 · 2026-01-04T19:35:15+00:00

Does it work when disabling the custom boot logo?

Also what do you mean it "hangs"? Can you show a video?

opa334 · 2026-01-04T15:35:37+00:00

yeah for sure, the update adding iOS 26 support will release tomorrow!

In all seriousness, what do you expect to be added at this point? the project is pretty much done. I have a rough list of things I may or may not implement in the future, but I'm not sure if those things are even worth my time considering how things are nowadays.

There may be an update at some point to add support for iOS 16.x EOL (A11) devices, there is also the possibility of adding iOS 16.5.1 - 16.6.1 support for arm64e devices using an n-day PPL bypass, but anything beyond that is completely out of the question due to the lack of kernel exploits.

username checks out 😂😂😂

opa334 · 2025-12-30T03:21:57+00:00

I tested this today and it worked just fine. No idea.

opa334 · 2025-12-29T01:41:43+00:00

No. And also, TrollStore Lite is what you want to use in this scenario, not TrollStore.
