imagexCon: Jailbreak Tweak Allows You To Bypass Jailbreak Detection By Apps

Ever since Apple introduced an API in iOS to detect jailbroken iOS devices, developers have been using it to prevent users who have jailbroken their iOS devices from using their apps. They're typically greeted with the following error message: “Jailbreak detected. App cannot run on a jailbroken device” when they launch such apps.

    I've seen apps give warnings on a jailbroken device about the "security risk", but they still worked. Blizzard's battle.net Remote Authenticator, for one.

    What's the point of Jailbreak tweaks without a untethered 4S Jailbreak?

    Are all of you that much of a tight ass to not buy apps, what if the whole world paid for no apps, well there would be no apps then you would have a jail broken phone with no apps. I hate that we live in such a world that people don't want to pay there way and complain about why is there no jail break, winge cry cry just man up and pay for what you use then there is no problem everything works and then app developers like me can continue to do what we do best, and also try to make a living after all people who steel and pirate apps are really hurting the people who spen hours making them, think about it what if you turn up to work and your boss says what are you doing here there is a robot doing your job for free, now how do you pay your bills. Just a small thought.

    Please add the good email app to this program as you can't use it on a jailbroken iPhone and it would show all those corporates that pay loads for this rubbish app that it's not that secure

    In means of today being the digital age, everything digital music, movies, apps, games deserves to be free and shall continue to be pirated because its greener that way. Think about it, i could go to the store and buy a cd or just download it. Downloading is greener and helps the enviroment brcause now i dont have to throw away a useless cd after ripping it to itunes. I am going to continue being the greener pirate and do my part in saving the earth.

    I know many people that jailbreak their phone not for piracy but for freedom of customizing their iPhone as they see fit or for apps that have awesome features that Apple hasn't or won't approve or implement.Not right that an app you purchase won't work just because you've jailbroken your iPhone for legit reasons like unlock or customization.

    This app in no way helps users to use pirated apps. This only helps users to use Wi-Fi Only apps over 3G. We're against piracy of apps and completely agree with your point of view.Here's a note from the developer of the jailbreak tweak who is of the same view:xCon will NOT patch crack detection, only jailbreak detection. ModMyI (as well as me, personally) are strongly against app piracy, and as such we will not promote usage of stolen apps by disabling crack detection.

    Are you kidding me? you can buy the music, movies, apps, and games online without a hard copy so what are you talking about? don't act like your doing it for some altruistic reason, ass hole.
