Spoke too soon, crashed and I had to head over to the unc0ver forum for the specific fix as jb wouldn’t stick.

Anyways back in business. Customized Control Center with specific icons, particularly a Location button (for privacy and to save battery), and a weather widget.

A complete and stable jailbreak for A12 devices is finally out... called Chimera. Works for iOS 12-12.1.2, and support all devices.

https://chimera.sh/

Tried it this morning. Worked on the first try, which is better than unc0ver and Electra on my iPhone X or older iPads.

I've been using Chimera for the last couple of weeks and I have to say it's been very stable. Upon reboots, I can get back into jailbreak mode usually on the first try.

On my X, ReProvision auto updates Unc0ver, and I rarely ever need to reboot, it's stable and stays JB’d.

On my wife's XR, it’s kicked her out of Chimera JB state, I find I have to re-JB in airplane mode, but if I forget to turn wifi back on and open Silo, it loses all the Sources. And when I re-install Snapback Beta, the saved root file is gone so I can't do a quick restore of packages, I need to individually add everything again,... which isn't much on her phone, just a pita (AutoUnlockX is the main one she likes).

One thing, I bought her a Watch for Mother’s Day and the app wasn’t on her phone. Opening the App Store said it was installed. Clicking Open gave me a Restriction warning yet all restrictions were off, regions were all in Canada. I even re-enabled everything before turning Restrictions off. The only way to fix this was create a backup on a computer in iTunes and restore to that backup, which initiated a reinstall of all apps including the Watch app. It maintained iOS and I re-installed Chimera with Cydia Impactor. There is no documented answer like this I could find other than asking people to update their iOS. This popup:

Anyone here with iOS 13 beta installed on their iPhone? Apparently there's a feature called "Persistent Personal Hotspot". I've been waiting for something like this on iOS for a very long time. So far all of the data points to the fact that it'll work perfectly with iOS devices. What about Android? If an Android device connects to an iPhone or iPad with iOS 13 with the "Persistent Personal Hotspot", is it still going to maintain connection with an iPhone/iPad when it goes to sleep?

Watch iOS also updated providing ECG to Apple Watch 4 in Canada. In collaboration you need iOS 12.4 as well to update the Health app.

Keep in mind only A11 and below devices can be jailbroken on iOS 12.4. Current generation A12 devices are not supported.

Looks like we are only days (hours, even) away from a full A12, iOS 12.4 jailbreak, and it looks like both unc0ver and Chimera will support A12:

If you want to have vulnerabilities. Sure. Why not lol.

“The use-after-free vulnerability would let an application gain the ability to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.”

CVE 2019-8605

CVE stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.

Yes Apple devices are exposed to various flaws and vulnerabilities. ;)
