New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on April 30, 2021) follows:
Apple’s iOS offers a lot of features and customization options to users but some users are simply looking for more.
This is where the jailbreak community comes in as it offers more customization options to iOS users.
One of the most popular jailbreak tools is Checkra1n which is known for its regular updates and support for newer iOS versions.
Now, Checkra1n is getting a new update which brings along support for the latest iOS 14.5 update.
Also, there is support for the Apple Silicon (M1) powered Macs with a bunch of bug fixes.
There are fixes for the loader app crashing on tvOS 12, checkra1n crashing on macOS when recent MobileDevice frameworks are used, and several terminal UI related issues on Linux.
While the latest Checkra1n update 0.12.3 does offer a lot of improvements, it is still a beta version.
This further means that there are still some known issues that are yet to be addressed. Here’s the complete changelog:
However, it is still good to see that Checkra1n has included support for iOS 14.5 which came out pretty recently.
So, if you are into jailbreaking then be sure to try the latest Checkra1n beta, however, it is not advisable to use it on a primary device.
Hopefully, the stable Checkra1n update comes out soon with more bug fixes and improvements.
That said, we will be back with more details as and when new information becomes available so stay tuned.
In the meantime, you can check out our dedicated Apple section as there are more such stories over there.
