Pwn20wnd updates Unrestrict library, bringing us one step closer to a full-fledged A12(X) jailbreak

Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool supports all iOS versions from iOS 11.0-12.1.2 as well as well-nigh iOS devices inwards between, but it solely partially supports A12(X) devices at the fourth dimension of this writing because of reasons that nosotros outlined in a slice published before this week.

Two of the well-nigh pregnant roadblocks that select prevented a full-fledged A12(X) jailbreak from surfacing are that Cydia Substrate needs to survive updated alongside compatibility for these devices as well as that Pwn20wnd all the same needed to update Unrestrict library for sandbox patches on arm64e devices. Fortunately, the latter is no longer a work every bit of today.

In a Tweet shared simply this afternoon, Pwn20wnd revealed that he had successfully updated the Unrestrict library for arm64e devices as well as tested the volume of it on a virtualized iPhone XS alongside iOS 12.1.2:

The virtualization facial expression is commutation since the hacker recently
boot-looped his physical iPhone XS exam device during testing, as well as it should
ensure that Pwn20wnd tin proceed jailbreak evolution unhindered for a long
time to come.

Now that Unrestrict library is to a greater extent than oftentimes than non cook for arm64e
devices, the community is solely officially waiting on Saurik to render a minor
update for Cydia Substrate. Once it’s released, Pwn20wnd tin exam the balance of
Unrestrict library as well as comprise all of it into an updated uncv0er beta
release.

There’s all the same no ETA for when Saurik mightiness update Cydia Substrate for the remaining subset of devices, but alongside Pwn20wnd inching ever then roughly releasing his updated jailbreak, nosotros tin solely imagine that it won’t survive long now.

The latest version of unc0ver is v3.0.0 beta 48, alongside the
latest official unloosen existence unc0ver v 2.2.6. Notably, the unc0ver v3.0.0
pre-release is the solely version of the tool that supports iOS 11.4-12.1.2.

official Github page.
