TrollStore becomes more stable in latest anti-crash updates

TrollStore was updated to version 1.3.1 and then subsequently to version 1.3.2 on the same day to address a duo of app crashes that users had been experiencing.

One of those crashes appeared to happen when tapping on the cancel button on an app install alert pop-up, while the other appeared to occur when users were taking advantage of the bolt text feature in iOS & iPadOS.

You can learn more about the TrollStore version 1.3.1 and TrollStore version 1.3.2 releases in their respective news posts.

TrollStore also received updates to versions 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 this week, mostly to add support for installing and perma-signing Linus Henze’s Fugu15 jailbreak app for iOS 15. You can learn more about these updates in our additional news post.

Just before today, a final update to version 1.3.5 addressed a few miscellaneous bugs in the software.
