Jailbreak

Recently a new jailbreak was released for iOS/tvOS called Unc0ver. It’s been awhile since I experienced any modern jailbreaking as was fun in previous iOS versions. So I grabbed my old trusty iPhone SE and went through the steps to unlock my device. During this journey, I picked up some observations and opinions that I thought would be helpful to share.

Package Manager

There are a few different offerings when it comes to managing your installs. By default, Cydia is installed once you unlock your device. Cydia works, but it’s slow. When looking for alternatives I found Zebra which features a modern ui and its fast, check it out!
