Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded to an iPad Pro and I'm looking for a certain app that I had on my old iPad that is no longer on the official Appstore.  (the app is St@sh).

 

My question is, if I jailbreak my iPad Pro, install St@sh via Cydia, then update my iPad Pro via the next official Apple software update, will the app stay on the device after the update un-jailbreaks my iPad?

 

I don't really want a jailbroken device, but I'm wondering if this is a decent way to get ahold of an app that's no longer available.  (I'm assuming St@sh is available on Cydia).

 

Thanks for any input you could provide.  This is all new to me.

Thanks but it's not in my purchased list anymore either.  There were two other apps that weren't available in the store that WERE in my purchased list.  Unfortunately, St@sh wasn't there at all.

I guess that could happen. I download apps in iTunes and sync across. That way I always have a local copy.

 

Do you still have your old iPad with it? If you sync it with iTunes it will copy over any purchases on it and then once St@sh is in iTunes you could send it to the new one.

 

Otherwise, I guess jailbreaking is the only other way and I can't help there as I've never had the need.

I thought of that too.  I do still have the app on the old ipad.  But, as I found out the hard way, Apple has disabled the "Transfer Purchases" for apps in iOS 9+.

So, there is no way for me to transfer the app.ipa to my PC from the old iPad.  I even tried some third party tools on my PC to transfer the app.  No dice.  It's blocked by iOS.

If the app does not come from the App Store it will not stay there after removing jailbreak and going with the next update.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
