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

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 25, 2020

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.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 25, 2020

If your jailbreak depends on Cydia Substrate for tweak injection, then now would be a good time to launch your preferred package manager and refresh your sources. This is especially the case if you’re enjoying the perks of a pwned version of iOS or iPadOS 14 by way of the resilient checkra1n jailbreak.

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

Yobun Pro provides jailbreakers with quick access to advanced shortcuts

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated March 1, 2021

One of the many things iOS users may notice is that Apple spends lots of time refining the platform’s user experience with each and every substantial iteration, paying special attention to user-friendliness regardless of what a user’s age or technical know-how might be. One of the unfortunate burn backs of having such a foolproof platform is that users aren’t typically provided with much by way of advanced settings.

While the issue above can be somewhat of a bummer to those more knowledgeable in the arts of technology, the good news is that jailbreakers aren’t bound by the confines of Apple’s interface simplicity. Jailbreak tweaks, such as the newly released Yobun Pro by iOS developer Plat Ykor, offers convenient shortcuts for advanced controls that iPhone users can’t normally access on a stock handset.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 21, 2020

Apple has improved the multitasking experience on the iPad by leaps and bounds over the years – quite literally going from an iPhone-style App Switcher to side-by-side apps over the course of just a few years.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 21, 2020

Lots of iPhone users take their handset’s battery performance very seriously, and given just how much of our lives appear to be driven by the apps we use every day, this doesn’t come off as much of a surprise.

That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed BattRate by iOS developer Julio Verne comes into play.
