It’s my iPad, and it’s not the device that’s asking for the password and not accepting it, it’s the jailbreak process itself.
Got a tip for us?

You have a tweak called tweak manager that will disable your tweaks for a particular app that won't work once it sees you are jailbroken. If you select the app in question, it should work again as normal.
Here is a general question.
How many of you would buy a computer that you didn't have administrative rights to; cannot downgrade to any previous OS you licensed, vendor/carrier can install anything they want, cannot install an alternative OS id you like, etc?
That is exactly what iOS and to a large extent Android is.
I will not buy a phone that I cannot unlock the booloader and have full administrative rights to.
It's my device.

Why the hell it needs tour Apple ID, why you even trying to enter it. This is bizarre.

That is valid argument. I think most of the people appreciate the fact that iPhone is post PC-era device, and I personally believe that mobile devices should not repeat PC mistakes. It makes them easier to use, safer and superior in many ways. Even pros are happy to use their phone as highly restricted devices and use their Macs and PCs for development. One less gadget to worry about.

It's been many years since I used to jailbreak. I stopped around the iPhone 5. Used to have a lot of fun with various apps. I remember an app that allowed you to call two friends as though they were calling each other and listen in as they were confused since each "received" the call then broke out laughing and having a fun three way conversation - good times.
I just jailbroke my iPhone 11 Pro and have no idea what to use anymore as it's been so long. I remember being able to customize the springboard (organizing apps with subfolders, "black" space apps for arrangement, theming, etc), changing stock apps for third party apps (always used a third party music app), etc. Now I don't know where to begin.
Unlocking devices for use on any network and selling them online when upgrading was a main reason for jailbreaking. That hasn't been necessary for years.

I would like to see your phone
Sure, this is my current home screen. I’m not too crazy with tweaks - I prefer the minimalism look
edit: Facebook has the stock icon cause I don’t have it on my phone (offloaded it)

That is enough to temp me to jailbreak by itself. However, since I am planning to upgrade from my X to the 12 Pro, I am not sure a few months is worth it...
Though I used to jailbreak all the time in the iPhone 1 - 4 days. It inspired me (like calculators once did) to develop apps and use gcc suite on the phone for a Unix-like environment, etc. Also, crafting custom themes (my favorite was a Steampunk/Edison theme) though making all the icons was a pain. And I still miss the app that mapped nearby cell tower locations and their signal strengths.
You can do whatever you want with your device, but say, like if it was a car, if you open up the hood and start playing around you are responsible for your actions and the manufacturer won't fix your mistakes for free.
I put some trust in Apple because I bought their products with my money, its a public company, transparent, has a privacy policy, has official support, product guarantees, recall programs, and there is someone to sue if they break the law or deceive their consumers.
We all know that the "warez" community does not come with any guarantees or official support. Unless the app or product is FOSS then you can not know whats going on in the background, and even if you discover it you can't do anything about it because no one gave you any promises. If you can sell me a jailbroken iOS and apps with a promise and gurantees like 1Password, Carbon Copy Cloner, and Adobe then yes. Some random dude who uploaded a modified iOS on GitHub with the first sentence in a ReadMe.txt file stating he is not responsible if anything goes wrong... no.
You have the freedom of choice, but given how much private data a smartphone carries today and how people rely on it for their day to day lives including its $600-800 price tag...its just too dangerous for most people.
The YouTuber “everythingApple Pro” is the guy behind Rebel cases.
just wanted to point that out for those who didn’t know.
1. German 1822direktBank app would crash on launch.
Two other banking apps work fine.
2. Amazon Prime Music crashes at launch.
as soon as I restored the original filesystem,everything works.
I know. Bug free software just doesn’t exist.
But here we are speaking about a specific access to administrator rights, something that Apple should avoid.
I don't disagree that you're responsible for your actions. And Apple also has the right to refuse service for issues caused by the jailbreak, but I don't believe they should have the right to refuse *any* issues on a jailbroken device. But, I think that's how it works on some countries due to laws, and also it doesn't matter anyway. You can always hide/remove your jailbreak before going to Apple.
The jailbreak community is not a "warez" community. It's an open community, where everyone is free join, that respects laws and rights and doesn't condone illegal activity. The jailbreak developers aren't shady or "random dudes" either (you could argue back in the day they were because they literally popped out of nowhere releasing jailbreaks sponsoring piracy app stores, but even then people reverse engineered their jailbreaks to ensure they were safe, guess what, the shadiest jailbreaks ever turned out to be safe). The community has seen us grown, knows how we act, how we do things etc. Isn't that how trust is built in real life? By getting to know someone? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to force trust, I just don't want people to jump to conclusions "don't trust them" or "they're just random dudes" with no evidence.

I don't think devices should come with all rights by default. But I do think they should come with an "unlock" button. Users should be allowed to get full access to their devices if they want to. I mean, the restrictions on iOS don't even allow you to check if your device has been compromised. You're in the dark.
I've been very dependant on the Reddit community for this. It seems many of the old tweaks no longer exist. These are the ones I'm currently using with minimal to no issues. Also, theme is Liaca Dark.
It's a work in progress.
So much for Jailbreak being safe with this "Sandbox" technology you keep hawking...
Just remember that Jailbreaks are 100% safe and non destructive. The authors have ensured this with their rigorous code reviews.*
Except when you do something on your device using Jailbreak which causes your device to malfunction, milk to curdle, cats and dogs to live together, or interstellar war to break out.
At which point it's all your fault. You did something wrong.
*Just joking about the code reviews. Apparently the developers are so gosh darned sure their code is rock solid they don't feel the need to do code reviews.
Jailbreaking is not safe no matter what some on here and elsewhere say. The fact that you have to use the Apple Mail app in a manner not intended, to side load an app on the Mac, so that unauthorized apps and processes can do hidden things on the iPhone, should be a big red flag, not to mention having to use means that bypass safety measures Apple has put in place ( re: TOS violating app certificates).
What you posted about has happened to others as well. The fact that it hasn’t happened to others here doesn’t mean it is safe, despite the logical fallacy defense used by some.
Sandboxing only applies to App Store apps. Things you install from Cydia have no limitations in regards to power so it's the user's responsibility to choose carefully.

I still don't get how code reviews matter here. A bug in our code can only cause stability issues, not security issues, our patches regarding giving processes privileges are deterministic by design, they either always work or never do.

What shady packages did you install, mind if I ask? Pirated tweaks or something?
[automerge]1590963649[/automerge]
What do you expect? A jailbreak button in the Settings app? Of course jailbreaking requires you to misuse things, it's literally a hack and "to hack" means "to use in an unintended manner".
