Pwn20wnd says Saurik plans to update Cydia Substrate for A12(X) devices

Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool supports all versions of iOS from 11.0-12.1.2, as well as it supports most iOS devices. The exclusively exception to the latter business office of that arguing is that A12(X) devices are only partially supported, which agency Cydia as well as Cydia Substrate won’t live on installed on those handsets (yet).

Just concluding week, Pwn20wnd shared what he all the same needed to consummate the total A12(X) back upward for unc0ver, as well as spell 1 of those components has since been completed, the community continues to await for the other.

We’re talking, of course, close Cydia Substrate – a element used past times a plethora of jailbreaks to protect the jailbreaker’s device from software conflicts and/or faulty tweaks.

Cydia Substrate is the security machinery that sometimes kicks
your device into Safe Mode when something goes wrong, as well as spell it industrial plant on iOS
11 as well as alongside most iOS 12 devices, there’s a põrnikas that prevents it from working properly
on A12(X) devices running iOS 12. With that inwards mind, nosotros all the same don’t accept full
A12(X) back upward from unc0ver because Saurik needs to update Cydia Substrate to
fix said bug.

It’s been several weeks since nosotros outset heard close this
so-called bug, as well as yet there’s been no official answer or update from Saurik.
So what’s going on?

Unc0ver Pb developer Pwn20wnd shared but about insight close that on Th via Twitter, noting that Saurik all the same actively maintains Cydia Substrate as well as that spell he has been incredibly busy lately, he all the same has plans to resolve the A12(X)-related põrnikas as well as larn things upward as well as running equally presently equally fourth dimension permits:

Indeed, it’s non much of an ETA, but it is reassurance;
Saurik is all the same hither for the community. In fact, he all the same jumps on planes to
defend jailbreaking come upward every exemption opportunity, but he’s a busy guy. With
that inwards mind, those waiting for total A12(X) back upward via unc0ver are advised to
remain patient for that update. It’ll come upward eventually.

In the meantime, Pwn20wnd recently began probing involvement inwards the community for using Substitute rather than Cydia Substrate until Saurik tin give the sack force his update. This method would hateful total A12(X) back upward for unc0ver sooner, but according to Pwn20wnd, it would also innovate stability issues, battery issues, reduced performance, reduced injection possibilities, less command over the system, etc.:

Pwn20wnd hasn’t confirmed whether Substitute back upward would come upward to unc0ver for sure, but it’s evident from the circumstances that it would only live on a temporary bandaid if it e'er did materialize, at to the lowest degree until Saurik could force his Cydia Substrate update.
