Team unc0ver has launched yet another iteration of its novel jailbreak, this time focusing on support for the latest versions of tvOS for the Apple TV. Unc0ver for TV is a separate fork from the traditional unc0ver jailbreak and begins at version 5.1.0 beta 1.
News regarding the new unc0ver for TV release was shared first by the unc0ver Team via Twitter Tuesday afternoon:
The Apple TV app is now available on select Roku players ahead of the November 1 launch of the iPhone maker's original video-streaming service, dubbed Apple TV+.
Earlier today, the Electra Team released version 1.3.6 of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak with improvements for the Sock Puppet exploit and a fix for random crashes after jailbreaking, and as it would seem, they’ve just now pushed a similar update for the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak.
The Electra Team announced ChimeraTV v1.3.6 via Twitter just a few minutes ago:
The Electra Team released updated versions of both the iOS-centric Chimera jailbreak tool and the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak tool Wednesday evening, bringing both tools up to version 1.3.4 on the official Chimera download page.
The Electra Team announced these new updates just a few minutes ago via Twitter, denoting some of the changes that came with each new iteration:
It appears to be a big day for the Electra Team. Just this morning, the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak received an update to version 1.2.3 with support for certain builds of the iOS 12.3 beta, and in addition to that, the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak was updated to version 1.2.2 with support for tvOS 12.2 on the Apple TV 4K.
The Electra team shared both announcements this morning via Twitter, linking to the newly-updated jailbreak tools on the Chimera website in the process:
Samsung on Monday announced that it will begin rolling out support for AirPlay 2 and Apple's new Apple TV app for its smart TV sets. The features will arrive via a firmware update for all 2019 smart TV models, and select 2018 models.
Apple on Wednesday released the tvOS 12.2.1 software update for the fourth-generation Apple TV HD and the fifth-generation Apple TV 4K set-top boxes.
On Wednesday, the Electra Team announced an update to the ElectraTV jailbreak tool for the Apple TV, officially bringing it up to version 1.3.2 to match that of the iOS version of the tool.
In a Tweet shared this morning by the Electra Team, we learn that ElectraTV 1.3.2 now supports tvOS 11.0-11.4.1 thanks to a port shared by @nitoTV and @Jaywalker. Furthermore, the update brings bug fixes and improvements:
Apple has released iOS 12.1, watchOS 5.1, and tvOS 12.1 to the public. The updates arrive on the same day as Apple’s “There’s more in the making” event, which saw the arrivals of a new MacBook Air, Mac mini, and iPad Pro.
Aside from dropping iOS 11.3, Apple today also released tvOS 11.3 for Apple TV.
Apple followed up on today's release of iOS 11.2.1 with the tvOS 11.2.1 update for Apple TV.
Apple has released tvOS 11.2 to the public today, after several weeks of beta testing. The update will be installed automatically, or you can push it manually by navigating to System > Software Update on your Apple TV.
