[Question] Did anyone recognize that the PP app for jailbreak on the device got updated?

Question

Or is it just me?

I only recognized it because the icon was moved out of the folder I have put it after jailbreaking my device.
Then I checked the device management profile and it was changed to "Beijing Hong Yuan Online ...".

I'm not sure if I should be excited about that or not ...
Of course it's great that Pangu updates their tool, but on the other hand ... silently in the background?

Yeah, I was about to ask the same thing because I was confused as to why it had installed another version of itself.

I guess it has something to do with the fact that otherwise the used certificate will expire in 7 days (because of the free dev account)

Probably. Which is nice because I was thinking I would have to resign the app every week.

but it still scares me that they can do it without any user interaction ...

Yeah, true. Makes me question what else they can do.

If I have a means to sign my own apps, is there a way to do that right now? Or do we absolutely have to go through the jb tool?

If you can find the jailbreak IPA then you can sign it yourself.

Yep I noticed this too, probably to circumvent the 7 days a typical free developer account has to run sideloaded apps.
