Today is a day when we can think that the Chinese hacker team Pangu he is behaving well. At noon have thrown a tool that allows you to jailbreak 64-bit devices that are still on iOS 9.1 It is true that there will be few people who are on that version and that it does not seem very useful, but those who decided to keep the version surely do not think the same waiting for a jailbreak. To create this tool they have used a bug in the kernel that was already fixed in iOS 9.2, so they have not wasted anything. Now, about six hours later, they have also promised a jailbreak for tvOS 9.0.x.
As you can see in the screenshot, it mentions a version of tvOS that will rarely be installed somewhere Apple TV. That they are going to release it can only mean that they have been working for a long time to launch a jailbreak for Apple's latest set-top box and that the same kernel bug that was present in iOS 9.1 was also present in tvOS 9.0.x, so it better is to launch the tool and that everyone who can, especially developers, take advantage of it.
Do you need the jailbreak for Apple TV that Pangu promises?
This is a question I ask myself, but I think the answer is yes. I ask myself the question because, as you know, tvOS (like iOS 9) allows install applications that are not in your App Store, As is the case Kodi or the classic console emulator Origin. But with a jailbreak that paves the way, developers can imagine and build many more applications. Also, if we had Cydia on the Apple TV, installing and updating the mentioned applications would be a few clicks away, something very different from having to connect the Apple TV to the Mac, open Xcode, sign the .deb package and install the. ipa.
Of course, Pangu says that the jailbreak will be mainly for developers and security researchers. All I can say is that this promises.
