Anything higher than iOS 15.6 beta 5 (including iOS 15.6 RC / full build) is **NOT** supported.
Anything lower than iOS 14.0 is **NOT** supported.
Anything not supported right now will **_NEVER_** be supported, TrollStore is a one time thing, it will not receive compatiblity updates in the future, please **stop asking** about it, GitHub issues regarding version support will be **closed without answer**.
# Installing TrollStore (No Jailbreak)
## Installation Links:
[Installation Link 1 - Supports all devices on iOS 15 and up](https://api.jailbreaks.app/troll)
[Installation Link 2 - Supports all arm64e (A12 - A15) devices on iOS 14 and up](https://api.jailbreaks.app/troll64e)
Please refer to "Compatbility" above to check whether your version is compatible, if it's not then these links will not work.
This installation method unfortunately does **NOT** work on arm64 (A8 - A11) iOS 14 devices, for these devices, jailbreak with checkra1n and then use the jailbroken installation guide below.
7. You can now either delete the "GTA Car Tracker" app, or register it as the persistence helper by opening it and tapping the option at the bottom and keep it.
8. Open the TrollStore app and press "Install ldid" in the Settings tab, then read the information under "Persistence", and install the Persistence Helper into a system app if you want persistence (not needed if you registered the GTA Car Tracker app as the persistence helper in step 7).
Supports jailbroken devices running 14.0 or above.
## Guide
1. Open your package manager, make sure Havoc repo (https://havoc.app) is added under Sources, then search for "TrollStore Helper" and install it
2. After the installation, respring and a "TrollHelper" app should be on your home screen, launch that.
3. Launch the app, tap "Install TrollStore".
4. Wait a few seconds, your device should respring and TrollStore will be installed.
5. Open the TrollStore app and press "Install ldid" in the Settings tab, then read the information under "Persistence", the TrollHelper app on the home screen will be your persistence helper.
6. Done, you can now share IPA files with TrollStore and they will be permanently installed on your device.
When a new TrollStore update is available, a button to install it will appear at the top in the TrollStore settings. When tapping the button, TrollStore will automatically download the update, install it and respring.
Alternatively (if anything goes wrong), you can download the TrollStore.tar file under Releases and open it in TrollStore, TrollStore will install the update and respring.
The CoreTrust bug used in TrollStore is only enough to install "System" apps, this is because FrontBoard has an additional security check (it calls libmis) every time before a user app is launched. Unfortunately it is not possible to install new "System" apps that stay through an icon cache reload. Therefore, when iOS reloads the icon cache, all TrollStore installed apps including TrollStore itself will revert back to "User" state and will no longer launch.
The only way to work around this is to install a persistence helper into a system app, this helper can then be used to reregister TrollStore and its installed apps as "System" so that they become launchable again, an option for this is available in TrollStore settings.
On jailbroken iOS 14 when TrollHelper is used for installation, it is located in /Applications and will persist as a "System" app through icon cache reloads, therefore TrollHelper is used as the persistence helper on iOS 14.
The binaries inside an IPA can have arbitary entitlements, fakesign them with ldid and the entitlements you want (`ldid -S<path/to/entitlements.plist><path/to/binary>`) and TrollStore will preverse the entitlements when resigning them with the fake root certificate on installation. This gives you a lot of possibilities, some of which are explained below.
iOS 15 on A12+ has banned the following three entitlements related to running unsigned code, these are impossible to get without a PPL bypass, apps signed with them will crash on launch.
Please note that the platform-application entitlement causes side effects such as some parts of the sandbox becoming tighter, so you may need additional private entitlements to circumvent that. (For example afterwards you need an exception entitlement for every single IOKit user client class you want to access).
## Root Helpers
When your app is not sandboxed, you can spawn other binaries using posix_spawn, you can also spawn binaries as root with the following entitlement:
```
<key>com.apple.private.persona-mgmt</key>
<true/>
```
Because a root binary needs special permissions, you need to specifiy all your root binaries in the Info.plist of your application like so:
```
<key>TSRootBinaries</key>
<array>
<string>roothelper1</string>
<string>some/nested/roothelper</string>
</array>
```
Note: The paths in the TSRootBinaries array are relative to the location of the Info.plist, you can also include this key in other bundles such as app plugins.
Afterwards you can use the [spawnRoot function in TSUtil.m](./Store/TSUtil.m#L39) to spawn the binary as root.
