v1.4.1

Important

On Linux, usbmuxd must be installed on your system. Don't worry though, it comes with most popular distributions by default already! However, due to some distributions udev rules usbmuxd may stop running after no devices are connected causing Impactor to not detect the device after plugging it in. You can mitigate this by plugging your phone first then restarting the app.

On Windows, iTunes must be downloaded so Impactor is able to use the drivers for interacting with Apple devices.

Note

Pairing file installation is only available for devices plugged in via USB.

Tip

chmod +x /path/to/AppImage after downloading may be required for Linux.

This project is still very new! Expect bugs to occur :)

Changes

      

• Introduces new icon made by @paigely! Thank you o(〃＾▽＾〃)o
• Fixes issues involving the signer not signing .dylib files, by properly handling header magic.
• Fixes ALTCertificate.p12 placement for LiveContainer+SideStore.
• Fixes pairing file not being placed properly in applications.

Known Issues

• AppleTV support is bare, doesn't support wireless pairing.
• Users may rarely have trouble logging in via SMS 2FA (#26).
• Doesn't support iOS 8.
• On Windows, since its not a unix-like operating system some apps may have trouble extracting due to having invalid characters in their file/folder names (i.e. ":").
• unc0ver's DRM gets triggered.

Future Plans

• Support flatpak.
• AppleTV wireless pairing support.
• Automatic app-refresh via background process.
