TrollStore updated to version 1.2.2 to improve bootloop protection

iOS developer opa334 on Tuesday released another update to the TrollStore app’s permanent signature tool, this time updating the utility to version 1.2.2 .

The update comes just a day after TrollStore v1.2.1 introduced a new security feature to prevent boot loops that could affect users signing apps with the same ID as system apps — those that were pre-installed by Apple at the factory.

In a tweet posted this afternoon, opa334 included a link to a GitHub page that mentioned the following change in this release:

– Improved the security checks added in the previous version so they only affect immutable system apps (any apps that aren’t stored inside /var/containers).

Yesterday’s update was important to install for all TrollStore users because it helped prevent users from logging into the bootloop. But today’s update is also recommended because it improves a security system designed primarily to prevent this problem.

TrollStore 1.2.2 is available to everyone on the project’s GitHub page and is compatible with devices running iOS and iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some builds of iOS 15.5 beta). iOS 14 devices must be jailbroken, but no jailbreak is required when used with iOS 15.
