AppSync Unified - Changelog

112.0: 2023/07/03

Added support for all iOS versions up to iOS 16.5.1.

Added support for "rootless" mode jailbreaks. ※ Users using the Dopamine jailbreak may encounter issues.

Made many internal refactors and improvements to AppSync Unified's code and associated tooling.

Improved the functionality of asu_inject and added support for inject_criticald for wider jailbreak support. (※ No jailbreak that uses inject_criticald requires the use of asu_inject — this is simply a futureproofing measure.)

Improved documentation regarding userspace reboot.

Removed the arm64e architecture slice from binaries that did not need one.

110.0: 2023/03/30

Added support for iOS 16.3.1.

106.0: 2022/12/20

Added full support for iOS 15.0 〜 16.2.

Added support for the SignerType key to ASU's fake codesigning info dictionary, which is required by iOS 15 and above in order to successfully install fakesigned applications.

AppSync Unified now declares all fakesigned apps as originating from the App Store.

Made multiple improvements to the package installation flow. The CFUserNotification now no longer blocks the main thread, and is now only ever shown if the user is installing the package from an actual APT GUI frontend that implements the ${CYDIA} environment variable (such as Cydia, Zebra, or Sileo).

Changed package ID to ai.akemi.appsyncunified.

AppSync Unified now also bypasses FrontBoard's signature verification functionality.

68.0: 2019/12/11

Minor update that resolves an edge case where users using the Meridian jailbreak on iOS 10 (which uses Substitute and not Substrate) would be unable to install AppSync Unified due to an oversight in the dependency resolution logic.

No other changes were made to AppSync Unified's functionality or code.

Thanks to Jacqueline for notifying me of this bug and for testing the new dependency resolution logic on her Meridian device!

66.0: 2019/12/05

Minor update that eliminates the rare case where users with broken versions of Substitute installed would fail a dependency resolution check, prompting their package manager to try and uninstall Substitute along with all their tweaks.

No other changes were made to AppSync Unified's functionality or code.

Thanks to Nicole for letting me use her iOS 13 devices (D22, N69u) to test!! <3

31.0: 2018/07/23

Fixed an issue on iOS 5 where AppSync Unified would not work at all due to an undocumented change in Theos causing default deployment target to be set incorrectly, thus generating binaries that could not be properly run on iOS 5.

Confirmed compatibility with all supported iOS versions up to iOS 11.4.

Artificially bumped version number to 30.0 to override all known third-party modifications of AppSync Unified available from piracy repos that will cause damage to your iOS installation. Please DO NOT use AppSync Unified for piracy.
