i have my 6+ jailbroken using beta3 which was the first version to support it. I haven't had to resign the app yet, but when I do, do I continue to use beta3, or should I go for the latest one available (currently beta7)?

There is no reason to use the old one, the newer ones fix bugs and are generally better.

I jailbroke using the beta 7. I just installed yalutime tweak ( shows the time until you resign the app) and it shows I have 79 days before resigning. Anyone else try this out and is it accurate? I was under the impression it had to be resigned every 7 days.
 
I was wondering that also. I don't have any sort of Dev account. I have a iPhone 6 Plus on Yalu beta 5 I think. And I haven't had to resign or anything yet and it's been past the 7 days for me also
 
It was my understanding that as long as you don't have to reboot, even if its been more than 7 days, that your jb remains functional. If a reboot is needed after the 7 days have passed, then launching the yalu app will fail because of the expired certificate. This is why you have to reload it with cydia impactor and resign it and trust it before you can jb again. I could be wrong though...

That's 100% correct

Why couldn't you just set a calendar event to remind you weekly That's what I did and it's worked perfect so far Plus, it's one less tweak on your device.
 
Also guys, please, do not resign your jailbreak. (that means to quit it.) What you want to do is RE-Sign your jailbreak. That is two entirely different things.

Sorry, what,.....Yalutime ? what repo is that please? :)

It is a tweak that was released today. I am guessing that it is buggy and shows the wrong date/time of expiration.

Just a tweak I'm trying out. RE-signing doesn't bother me to much.

U mean the cert has not expired even after 7 days. Unless u reboot
 
Yours shows the wrong days because you have a certificate for something else and it's looking at the wrong certificate

An update to YaluTime was posted yesterday, I have not tried it, but it supposedly fixes the issue.

After installing YaluTime where do I see the time left before re-sign is needed? I installed this tweak but can't find any app or setting anywhere.

CertRemainTime is what I use. It installs as an app on the springboard.

I think I was thinking of the other tweak.

I fail to see a need to actually use either of them. I think it is much simpler to just pick a day, and do it on that day. I chose Sunday, so every Sunday, I will do it, until it is no longer needed.
 
I have a question.

After 1 week when we have to re-sign the Yalu app do we use the same Apple ID as the one used previously or has to be a new Apple ID everything when re-signing?

Also do we have to delete the Yalu app first before re-signing or is it not necessary?

You use the same Apple ID over and over. You should not have to delete the Yalu app from what I've read, but if you get an error in Impactor I would then delete it and try again.

Ok so no need to delete the yalu app before resigning. But I read somewhere that there is a file with randon letters saved in the yalu re-signer (app for windows) which we need to delete before re-signing again. Is this true?

So how many times can we use the same Apple ID to re-sign? Can the same Apple Id be used to re-sign the yalu app for 4 different devices?

Can we re-sign the app a few hours before the certificate expires?

I've had to delete Yalu and then simply use impactor to reinstall Yalu which is fast.

If there's a way to do this easier, I would love to know.
