Shadow is a jailbreak detection bypass tweak for jailbroken iOS devices, hooking detection APIs so apps cannot detect the jailbreak. It supports rootful, rootless, and RootHide jailbreaks from iOS 9 onward with per-app configuration of bypass strength.
Use cases
- hide jailbreak from banking apps on iphone
- bypass jailbreak detection in apps
- configure per-app jailbreak detection bypass strength
- run jailbreak detection bypass on rootless iOS 15+ jailbreak
- prevent apps from detecting jailbroken device
- maintain ruleset of apps to hide jailbreak from
When to choose
- you have a jailbroken iOS device and apps refuse to run due to jailbreak detection
- you need fine-grained, per-app control over bypass behavior
- you need support for rootful, rootless, or RootHide jailbreaks across iOS 9-17
When to avoid
- you need a jailbreak detection bypass on non-jailbroken devices
- you expect guaranteed compatibility with every app - detection methods vary
- you need a general-purpose iOS security or anti-malware tool
