The Misaka package manager app received a major update on Monday to version 3.0, bringing with it a slew of improvements that users and developers alike are going to be especially excited about.
The latest update, shared via the Misaka Discord channel by robin, appears to bring the following changes to the platform:
– Added support for Tweak development using JavaScript.
– Integrated the Runestone code editor, providing language-specific syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, and Undo/Redo functionality.
– Added support for the iOS 17-compatible second status bar (PiP).
– Notification History (Beta)
– Implemented compatibility with the PureKFD/Picasso repository.
– Improved performance efficiency.
– Enhanced user experience.
– Dependency implemented.
– Compatible with markdown.
– Stabilized the file manager and added support for compressing and decompressing ZIP files.
– Added Shortcuts support
– And more…
Some of the biggest changes in this release include the ability for developers to make tweaks and add-ons using JavaScript with the help of the on-device Runestone code editor with language-specific syntax highlighting and other useful features and the newfangled compatibility with the PureKFD and Picasso repositories, which help bring Misaka up to speed with some of its competitors.
Misaka also received two extra updates to versions 3.0.2, 3.0.4, and 3.0.5 this morning, which appear to fix many bugs, improve kfd exploit compatibility, and implement a version check on iOS 16.6 beta 1.
Existing users are strongly encouraged to update to the latest version of Misaka so that they can take full advantage of all the latest changes. New or prospective users can install Misaka by following one of the tutorials that we’ve provided below:
- How to perma-sign Misaka on iOS 15.0-15.4.1 with TrollStore
- How to sideload Misaka on any firmware with Sideloadly
For those unaware of what Misaka is, it’s effectively a package manager app just like what you would find on a jailbroken device for installing jailbreak tweaks, except that Misaka doesn’t require a jailbreak. You can use it to install hacks and add-ons that support the MacDirtyCow exploit on iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2 or the kfd exploit on iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6 beta 1.
The latest version of Misaka is now hosted on GitHub as opposed to Discord, making the project more accessible than ever.
