If you've ever been unfortunate enough to encounter unwanted freeze-ups and crashes when launching specific apps, then you aren’t alone. As it would seem, iOS developer Muirey03 was getting tired of experiencing similar problems, thus a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed WorkFFS was conceived.

Third-party means of installing the Sileo package manager on Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak surfaced just over a month ago (obviously not officially supported by the Sileo Team), but have since been broken by changes to the electratools GitHub page. Fortunately, official support for the unc0ver jailbreak could come sooner rather than later.
