Following yesterday’s Sock Puppet exploit release by @NedWilliamson, jailbreak developers such as Pwn20wnd and the Electra Team have been scrambling to implement support into the unc0ver and Chimera jailbreaks.
While the unc0ver jailbreak has supported Sock Puppet since yesterday afternoon, the Electra Team said that it was internally testing iOS 12.2 support for Chimera and that a release was imminent. Despite having no stern ETA at the time, the Electra Team officially released Chimera v1.2.0 just this morning with support for iOS versions 12.1.3-12.2.

GlyphAlert brings a gorgeous glyph-centric notification system to iOS
iOS’ notification system certainly gets the point across when you receive a notification, but it hasn’t had much of an aesthetic overhaul for quite some time now. If you’re jailbroken and in the market for a somewhat exhilarating new notification experience, then you might take a liking to a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed GlyphAlert by iOS developer c1d3r.
Just as the name implies, GlyphAlert takes a glyph-centric approach to letting you know when you have an incoming notification. The glyphs, such as those shown in the screenshot examples above, are animated and can be assigned to specific applications, depending on what they represent.
This jailbreak tweak makes Live Photo-based wallpaper playback entirely automatic
One of the things I like about having an iOS device is that I can set a Live Photo as my wallpaper if I wanted to. On the other hand, animating that Live Photo generally requires some kind of user interaction from the Lock screen, and this tends to make the experience less exciting overall.
A newly-released jailbreak tweak called AutoDynamicWallpaper(A12 Support) by iOS developer anima gets you around this silly bottleneck by forcing any Live Photo-centric wallpapers you might have to play automatically as the device wakes. With that in mind, you won’t need to interact with your Live Photo-based wallpaper in any way to enjoy its liveliness.
Electra Team says ‘Sock Puppet’ exploit support is coming to Chimera
Pwn20wnd just got done updating the unc0ver jailbreak tool with support for the new ‘Sock Puppet’ exploit by @NedWilliamson with support for firmware versions up to iOS 12.2, and as it would seem, the Electra team isn’t too far behind.
In a series of Tweets shared just this afternoon, the Electra Team revealed that it would soon update the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool with support for the new ‘Sock Puppet’ exploit:
Unc0ver picks up support for ‘Sock Puppet’ exploit, now supports up to iOS 12.2
In what could only be described as a surprising treat for the jailbreak community, Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v3.3.0 betas 1 and 2 to the general public on Thursday with official support for all firmware versions up to iOS 12.2. This means that in addition to the previously-supported iOS 11.0-12.1.2, unc0ver now supports iOS versions 12.1.3, 12.1.4, and 12.2.
Pwn20wnd announced the updated unc0ver jailbreak tool just this afternoon, adding that it takes full advantage of @NedWilliamson’s tfp0 exploit, which has been subtly named ‘Sock Puppet’ by its creator:
