Cydia Extender – Sign Yalu Jailbreak/IPAs without Cydia Impactor

As you know, Saurik just released an updated version of Cydia Impactor (version 0.9.3.9). This version comes bundled with a new tool called Cydia Extender that lets you renew apps without using Cydia Impactor.

Here’s how to install it without a developer account.

How Cydia Extender Signs Yalu Jailbreak’s Certificate

Suarik along with Voldemort developed an ingenious method to sign IPA files without using Cydia Impactor.

A lot of users were waiting for a 7 day bypass solution that resigns Yalu without Cydia Impactor.

It signs Yalu jailbreak just like Cydia Impactor would. The main difference is that it does all that “on-device”.

Here’s the interesting part – it makes use of Virtual Private Network (VPN) wizardry so you can renew certificates of installed apps directly from your device without a computer.

This tool was supposed to be called iOS Impactor.

As this tool is still being developed, it has a few limitations such as –

  • This tool can only be installed if you in jailbreak state.
  • This tool can not be used in non-jailbreak state. However, any applications signed with Cydia Extender (for example yalu102) will continue to work.
  • You can only install application when Substrate is active.
  • All Installed applications still have the 7 day signing limit. You can use this tool to sign them on-device.
  • It works with all 64-bit devices including iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus.
  • Installing this tool with Cydia Extender Installer is recommended. The link to step by step guide is given below.
