Alleged kernel-level jailbreak bypass may let jailbreakers evade detection in apps [U]
Anyone using a jailbroken iPhone or iPad as their daily driver has likely experienced the aching inconvenience of something called jailbreak detection. This is essentially where an app developer implements some kind of trap in their app that detects if your handset is jailbroken and then responds one of two ways: 1) by denying the user access to the app on the jailbroken handset; or 2) banning the user for the use of potential third-party hacks.
Jailbreak detection has been a pain (to say the least) for users who enjoy the freedoms made possible by liberating their handset from Apple’s control, and the feeling is made worse when you find out that an account for one of your favorite games was banned for accessing said game on a jailbroken device. These issues have raised community-driven demands for jailbreak bypasses, especially one at the kernel level that would be far more robust than the traditional variety.
