iOS 8 Jailbreak: Pangu's Download Stable Enough For iPhones, iPads

Nov 08, 2014 08:44 AM EST | Matt Mercuro

Most of the bugs have now been worked out of the iOS 8 jailbreak download that was released last week, and those who were waiting for a stable jailbreak can now do so and install the jailbreak on their iPad of iPhone device.

Cydia was most likely the issue, as the jailbreak app store wasn't compatible with iOS 8 on launch day. Since then it made improvements, but up until Nov. 6 users weren't able to download paid tweaks if they already purchased them, according to GottaBeMobile.com.

Cydia is now fully compatible with Pangu's iOS 8 jailbreak, and the creator behind the jailbreak app store said that Cydia and the iOS 8 jailbreak is "stable enough" for use in a Twitter post.

A iOS 8 jailbreak was released a lot earlier than expected, coming just a month after iOS 8's initial release by the Cupertino-based company.

The jailbreak also works with the latest iOS 8.1 update as well, according to GottaBeMobile.com.

Though the Pangu dev team is a recent addition to the jailbreak community, after first breaking into the scene with their iOS 7.1.2 jailbreak back in June, their iOS 8 jailbreak shows that they're serious about providing users with jailbreaks for a long time.

The Pangu team has hit a road block with Apple however, as the iOS 8.1.1 update patched up the exploits used for the recent iOS 8 jailbreak, according to GottaBeMobile.com. This means if you haven't updated to iOS 8.1 yet, and you want to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, it would be smart to do so now.

Once Apple releases iOS 8.1.1 to the public, they'll stop signing iOS 8.1, meaning you won't be able to update to iOS 8.1 and will be forced to update to iOS 8.1.1.

The Pangu jailbreak isn't compatible with Macs yet however, but will work with all devices capable of running on iOS 8, including the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad mini 3, and iPad Air 2, as well as older devices like the iPhone 5s and iPad Air.
