In addition to uploading a new tvOS-compatible version of the Misaka package manager app on Wednesday, it seems that project lead developer @straight_tamago is also releasing a new build for iPhones and iPads in the form of version 8.0.7 beta.
The newest build of the Misaka package manager app was announced via a post shared to the project’s Discord server this afternoon:
From what we can gather, the latest release incorporates the following changes and improvements:
– Unsupported tweaks are now grayed out
– Added Apple TV support to repository loader
– Added tvOS and Apple TV to path variables
– Added some more environment variables
– Changed the compatible OS version to iOS 16.61 (for puaf_landa)
Many of the changes in today’s update are creature comfort features — namely being easier to ascertain if a tweak is compatible with your device and firmware or not, and displaying updated compatibility information.
Much of the other changes have to do with how Misaka works with tvOS, which is going to be a major part of the platform going forward as Misaka just added support for tvOS today, allowing users to install hacks and add-ons on tvOS 15.0-16.1.1 via the MacDirtyCow exploit.
If you’re already a Misaka user, then you should install the latest version over your existing installation to be sure you’re taking advantage of the latest features and improvements.
The latest version of Misaka can be downloaded from the project’s GitHub page.
New or prospective users who haven’t yet installed Misaka, but want to, can follow the steps outlined in our detailed step-by-step tutorial pieces below:

Misaka allows users to install hacks and add-ons on their non-jailbroken device as long as it’s running a compatible firmware — iOS or iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2 for the MacDirtyCow exploit, or iOS or iPadOS 16.0-16.6.1 for the kfd exploit. Add-ons based on JavaScript also exist for iOS & iPadOS 17, and users can also use Misaka to install TrollStore 2 on kfd-vulnerable arm64e devices.
