JBStatusNotifier alerts jailbreakers to the Jailbreaks.app signing service’s certificate status

Apart from checkra1n, side-loadable jailbreak apps like Odyssey and unc0ver comprise of the overwhelming majority of modern jailbreak tools. While these jailbreak apps are easy to install via a computer with AltStore or Xcode, users demand computer-free options, and that’s the exact reason why signing services such as Jailbreaks.app exist.

As convenient as signing services can be in the short-term, they come with a rather conspicuous caveat: their certificates are often revoked, rendering them useless until a new certificate becomes available. With that in mind, Jailbreaks.app developer iCrazeiOS has released a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed JBStatusNotifier that will help jailbreakers identify when the Jailbreaks.app certificate becomes revoked or signed.

Upon doing so, those jailbreakers should find an updated release of Substrate Safe Mode ready to be installed, subtly dubbed version 0.9.6005.

Apple has left the industrial design of its first M1-powered Mac computer models intact so these machines currently appear indistinguishable from the models they've replaced, at least from the outside. But TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has good news for folks who were hoping for a form factor change with these Apple Silicon machines: redesigned Apple Watch and MacBook models are apparently launching in the second half of 2021.
