Pwn20wnd pushes another revision to unc0ver v2.1.1 pre-release with bug fixes and improvements

Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd dropped another small revision to the unc0ver v2.1.1 pre-release with additional bug fixes this week. The new revision comes four days after the initial v2.1.1 pre-release launched, and after several minor updates in between.

Citing Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub page, this is now the fourth revision to the unc0ver v.2.1.1 pre-release since its conception. The latest update encompasses these changes:

Apply a custom color palette to iOS’ official Twitch app with Serene

Twitch is one of the most popular ways for people to share their gaming experiences with the rest of the world. On the other hand, the mobile app doesn’t provide any options to customize the user interface out of the box; love it or hate it, you’re stuck with how it looks.

Just as the name implies, this tweak does away with the so-called ‘card overlay’ effect and gives the Music app’s Now Playing interface a full-screen makeover to make it more consistent with other apps in iOS.

Tihmstar is tinkering with an exploit for iOS 11.4-11.4.1 devices, but there are caveats

If you’ve been waiting patiently on iOS 11.4-11.4.1 for a jailbreak to surface, then you might be in for a treat. Hacking guru tihmstar appears to be tinkering with an exploit that supports these firmware versions, at least on specific devices.

A Tweet shared by tihmstar Tuesday evening denotes how the exploit in question supports iOS versions up to 11.4.1; on the other hand, it also relies on the headphone jack. This caveat means that some devices, like those powered by Apple’s A10 and A11 chips, aren’t supported:

Read paywall news articles for free without payment or subscription on iPhone

The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Financial Times, Bloomberg, the Boston Globe, and similar big media publications may give you a few free articles monthly before you hit their paywall. Though nothing in this post is illegal, iDB encourages paying for news and publications that matter to you.
