The PurePKG package manager app is the latest project from iOS developer lrdsnow that attempts to offer an alternative user interface from the usual Sileo and Zebra package manager apps on jailbroken devices.
The Havoc repository is once again expanding its presence in our iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities — this time moving quickly to embrace TrollStore add-ons.
The Havoc repository continues to refine its user experience, this time pertaining to themes and making it easier for users to ascertain exactly how many app icons they get in a single package.
If you’ve been jailbreaking for at least a few years, then you might remember jailbreak tweak developer @sirius247, known for bringing a lot of great works to pwned iPhones.
The Havoc repository began accepting rootless jailbreak-supported packages in mid-March, with the expectation that current and future jailbreaks would be adopting the rootless dynamic. On Sunday, the Havoc repository made another announcement related to rootless jailbreaks.
If you’ve been following along in the jailbreak community recently, then you’d know that many of the major repositories that host jailbreak tweaks and other add-ons for pwned iPhones and iPads have been adding support for rootless packages, with the first two being Chariz and Havoc.
Following in the footsteps of the Havoc repository, which just this week began accepting rootless jailbreak-supported jailbreak tweaks and packages in addition to their non-rootless counterparts, the Chariz repository began doing the same Saturday afternoon.
With the vast majority of modern jailbreaks for iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 being rootless, it should come as no surprise that tweak developers have started launching rootless versions of their tweaks with compatibility for the latest dynamic.
Zebra, a popular alternative package manager for various jailbreak tools, was updated to version 1.1.30 on Monday with a slew of bug fixes and improvements.
This past Wednesday, we saw the public testing release of the XinaA15 jailbreak tool for A12-A15 devices ranging from the iPhone XS to the iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.0-15.1.1, and while it supported tweak injection, there was an issue where users couldn’t sign in to repositories such as Havoc or Chariz via package managers like Sileo and Zebra. This, of course, meant that users couldn’t install their previously-purchased tweaks.
iOS developer SourceLocation is out today with a new app called deb-to-ipa-app that converts .deb-based apps into .ipa-based apps so that they can be installed and perma-signed with opa334’s TrollStore.
Along with all the other exciting news shared on Thursday, the Havoc repository is joining the commotion with a fresh announcement of its own.
