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.
We’ve got some pretty big news for you if you’re a Misaka package manager app user or if you aspire to use it for Apple TV customization in any capacity.
Over the New Year’s weekend, we shared the news about a new kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit method called puaf_landa that expanded the prolific kernel exploit’s support to newer versions of iOS & iPadOS 16.x.
Picasso is a device customization toolbox app made for the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit, which is a kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.5 & 16.6 beta 1 devices. If you’ve never used it before and you have a compatible device, then you’re doing yourself a great disservice.
For those who’ve been following the meowbrek2 project by @dora2ios, it may be of particular interest that the developer has published a fourth beta build in the form of meowbrek2 v1.1.4-beta.
The Misaka package manager app received a slew of minor updates overnight, bringing the project up to version 8.0.5 beta as of Tuesday morning.
Not only did the Misaka package manager app receive an update on Monday with support for the new puaf_landa method for the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit, but so too did some of Misaka’s competitors.

So if you’ve been following along in the jailbreak community for the past year, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the kernel file descriptor (kfd) exploit, which supported iOS & iPadOS versions 16.0-16.5 & 16.6 beta 1, as well as iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7.6.
If you’ve been keeping up with the cacophony of news in the jailbreak community recently, then you may recall a project dubbed meowbrek2, a re-jailbreaking utility for the palera1n semi-tethered jailbreak for A9-A11 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-17.x. In effect, meowbrek2 turns the jailbreak into a semi-untethered one on certain firmware versions that we'll discuss below.
