i'm really happy for you folks that have good working on your jailbroken iphones, i really am. but that's because your IT organization doesn't enable/enforce the do-not-run-on-jailbroken-phone policy. So just because it works for you, doesn't mean the rest of us don't have this problem on our hands.

So let's get back to trying to figure out how to circumvent the policy for those of us who can't run good on our jailbroken phones please. I used to use activesync w/ the company exchange servers (albeit non-sanctionedly), but they turned it off one weekend and i've been screwed ever since. Good was the first hope I had to be able to not have to carry around two devices (my company blackberry AND my iphone (and i already stopped carrying around my camera since the iphone can do very good photo/video, and my iPod since i started using iSub and the subsonic project).

The problem I have with trying to figure out how to defeat the poilcy is that once the check finds your phoen is jailbroken, you're locked out of using the app further (such as for further testing), on the SERVER side it seems. Makes it a one-shot try/deal when testing different ways to get around that policy :-\

Thought i'd give a bit of info on here.

It's absolutely controlled by IT policy, and here's the trick. I have an android, and my company detects rooted android, my way around is to run an older version of GFE (1.5 i think). This version predates the root detection of Good and i'm able to use it with work.

A co-worker has an jailbroken iphone, and i'm wondering if the same will work, trouble is, i'm having a hard time finding old ipa files to try this same method with. They are clearly not as easily obtained as the android .apk files, but i'm sure they exist.

only problem is that the IT policy usually sets a minimum app version as well (and mine is 1.8.3 which has the jailbreak detection).

See my posts on this thread for more info about our progress

Read it, thanks for the link. Luckily my IT group doesn't enforce to upgrade the app, only that it can't be JB.

As i said, finding the ipa is near impossible. I guess it's due to the fact it's free, because ipa's for all other paid apps are easy to find, but not this one.

Guess i'll wait and see what type of result you guys get in the other thread, or if somebody knows where archived ipa's of this app are, that would help me out.

thx
