The Zebra Team published version 1.1.31 of the Zebra package manager app as soon as last night’s announcement of the Dopamine jailbreak tool for A12-A15 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 was made public.
The most recent Zebra update, which was published late last night through Twitter, appears to include the following improvements for users:
– Zebra now filters non-rootless packages from appearing in package lists on rootless jailbreaks, and vice versa. We made this change after community feedback from Zebra 1.1.29 – 1.1.30’s initial approach of displaying all packages. Incompatible packages still appear on the Search tab, but will appear dimmed to show they aren’t supported. If you’d like to change back to the original behavior, you can find a “Show Incompatible Packages” toggle under Settings → Filters.
– Fixes packages displaying a rootless incompatibility error message when adding to the queue, when a compatible package does in fact exist.
– Fixes crashes while navigating the app due to an Apple bug in iOS 15.0 – 15.1.1. (Contributed by @opa334 – thanks!)
– Prepares for the Dopamine jailbreak release.
– Adds jailbreak configuration information to the support email template.
– Adds support for importing sources from Sileo Nightly builds.
– Adds detection for many (hopefully all) iOS 9 – 10 jailbreaks so Zebra can correctly list their names in the Home footer. (Contributed by @staturnzz – thanks!)
– Fixes Zebra entering Demo Mode on some iOS 9 – 10 jailbreaks. (Contributed by @staturnzz – thanks!)
– Fixes Zebra crashing on launch on 32-bit devices.
– Fixes a UI issue when switching app themes on iOS 9 – 12. (Contributed by @PoomSmart – thanks!)
– Fixes the “Enter Source URL” prompt being displayed for sources that are already installed when opening an external link into Zebra.
– Fixes a crash when viewing a repository with a malformed featured packages list.
It is noteworthy that this version not only adds a plethora of enhancements to the program but also makes rootless jailbreaks easier to use while also making rootful jailbreaks more user-friendly.
Zebra and Sileo are the only two significant package managers that operate properly on current iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 jailbreaks, whether they are rootful or rootless. It’s one of the alternatives that may be installed immediately after jailbreaking using Dopamine, but it can also be added afterwards on any jailbreak.
Zebra maintains a minimalistic design aesthetic. Many have referred to Zebra as the Cydia substitute for more recent iOS versions that feature dark mode, although Zebra is incompatible with iOS & iPadOS 15 or later because Cydia is no longer receiving official updates.
If you already use the Zebra package manager software, you can locate the update by refreshing your sources in your package manager. Anyone who hasn’t already started using Zebra can do so by manually adding the source listed below to their package manager program:
