BawAppie open sources A-Bypass jailbreak detection bypass, empowering the community to maintain it
One of the biggest pet peeves that jailbreakers contend with is when the apps they depend on regularly detect that their iPhone is jailbroken and then block usage of the app as a result. One way around this is with a jailbreak bypass, but not all jailbreak bypasses are created equally, and your mileage may vary.
Worthy of note, however, is that BawAppie’s popular A-Bypass jailbreak bypass project has been officially open-sourced as of this week, as we found out in an announcement post shared to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.
In being open source, anyone can now fork and continue development of A-Bypass, a project that BawAppie appears to be stepping away from. By permitting others to continue working on A-Bypass, the project may live on as long as someone else decides to continue maintaining it.
With jailbreak detection bypasses like A-Bypass, jailbreakers may continue using apps that would otherwise detect jailbreaks without fear of the app detecting the jailbreak. As we alluded to earlier, however, jailbreak detection bypasses aren’t foolproof, and some work better than others.
Some apps may continue to see that you are jailbroken even if you use a jailbreak detection bypass because their detection methods are more complex.
Other examples of jailbreak detection bypasses that made emerged in recent years include the ‘Not a bypass’ global jailbreak detection bypass package for palera1n jailbreak users, as well as the RootHide jailbreak detection bypass for Dopamine jailbreak users.
The source code for BawAppie’s A-Bypass jailbreak detection bypass can be found on the developer’s GitHub page, but the page doesn’t offer any releases for anyone to download and use there. Instead, it appears to be hosted on the Merona repository, the URL of which we’ve provided below:
