TrollStore, everybody’s favorite perma-signing app for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some iOS 15.5 betas) was updated to version 1.4 on Saturday with significant changes.
Announced via Twitter this evening, we learn that TrollStore is now adapted to use the FuguInstall method for installing apps and a bevy of other changes, which appear in the change log outlined below:
- Adapt FuguInstall method for installing apps as it may be a little bit better (This only applies to NEWLY installed apps, but it shouldn’t matter too much, if you for some reason want an app to be installed through this new method, you need to uninstall it and then reinstall the IPA)
- Add a switch to enable / disable the TrollStore URL scheme
- Add an option to configure when installation confirmation alerts should be shown
- Fix an issue where apps in some cases could still replace system URL schemes, which would break system functionality
- TrollStore installed apps can now be uninstalled from home screen
- When uninstalling TrollStore, there now is an option to preserve the apps installed through it
- Various code improvements and other smaller fixes
Among some of the more notable things mentioned are being able to uninstall perma-signed apps from the Home Screen, something that could previously only be accomplished via the TrollStore app.
In a follow-up Tweet, developer @opa334 says this is likely the last major feature update to TrollStore because it’s reaching maturity, but smaller bug fox updates are still likely to be released in the future as they’re discovered and patched.
If you’re an existing TrollStore user, then this update is recommended for you and can be installed OTA (over the air) from the TrollStore or TrollInstaller app. Those who aren’t already taking advantage of TrollStore should obviously install version 1.4 instead of any older version.
TrollStore is available via the developer’s GitHub page and the following two step-by-step tutorials should help you with the installation:
- How to install TrollStore on non-jailbroken iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1 devices
- How to install TrollStore on jailbroken iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.8.1 devices
TrollStore’s perma-signing capabilities can essentially sideload any .ipa file onto a compatible iPhone or iPad without signing restrictions, made possible via a CoreTrust bug. Those apps remain signed indefinitely, making it an ideal alternative to sideloading solutions like AltStore or Sideloadly.
