Please note that Misaka can install add-ons on devices susceptible to the MacDirtyCow exploit (running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2) and to the kfd exploit (running iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6 beta 1). It can also install TrollStore 2 and install JavaScript-based add-ons on virtually any firmware, including iOS & iPadOS 17.
A jailbreak isn’t required to take advantage of Misaka or add-ons installed through it, but you can still use it if you happen to be jailbroken. Add-ons installed with Misaka should play nicely with jailbreak tweaks, however your mileage may vary.
