TrollStore, the perma-signing utility that took iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 by storm, received an update on Monday to version 2.0 with substantial changes, including the implementation of a new CoreTrust bug known as CVE-2023-41991 that adds support for iOS & iPadOS 15.5-16.6.1 and 17.0.
The attempt to exploit CVE-2023-41991 has been codenamed ChOma per the official GitHub page.
In addition to the newfangled firmware support, TrollStore v2.0 introduces the following changes:
– Fix a minor bug where TrollStore wouldn’t delete an app’s container when uninstalling it
– Remove dependency on ldid
– Add donation links
– And more…
Today’s news is a dream come true for many, especially those who who’ve relied on sideloading only to become tired of re-signing apps every seven days. With TrollStore, apps are perma-signed, making it so that users don’t need to re-sign apps once every seven days. Instead, they install them once and they’re good to go.
One word of caution, however, is that installation methods don’t yet exist for all newly supported firmware. Devices vulnerable to the kfd exploit (iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6 beta 1) will soon have an installation method by way of Misaka, while checkm8-vulnerable devices up to and including A11 chip-equipped handsets can use the TrollHelper package, and the arm64e (A12+) OTA-based installation method has been updated to support more versions of iOS & iPadOS 15.
For users of devices running firmware newer than iOS & iPadOS 16.6 beta 1, it continues to be a waiting game as the project’s developers attempt to find a new installation method; this includes iOS & iPadOS 17.0.
Even if you’re using the original TrollStore firmware from iOS or iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1, you can still update to TrollStore 2.0. Upon launching the TrollStore app, you should take notice of a button in the app that will update the version to 2.0 over the air:
We will eventually share more TrollStore installation methods as they’re released for newer firmware. In the meantime, some of the original TrollStore installation methods can be found below.
