TrollStore 2 officially released on Monday, bringing application perma-signing capabilities to a whole bunch of newer devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.5-16.6.1 and 17.0. The previous generation of TrollStore already supported iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1, so today’s update is a refreshing one that gives more users access to powerful features Apple doesn’t want them to have.

It would seem that Misaka isn’t the only package manager app providing an easy way to install the TrollStore 2 perma-signing utility on iPhones and iPads running iOS & iPadOS 16. Picasso, a popular jailed toolbox for installing add-ons and tweaks for non-jailbroken arm64e (A12+) devices running iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6 beta 1 via the kfd exploit, has now done the same.

But as we touched on in our announcement post, there wasn’t yet a way for all device and firmware combinations to install it, but Misaka developer @straight_tamago has just made it easier, at least for some.
