Notes:
● This is a semi-tethered jailbreak so you will need launch unc0ver and tap Jailbreak each time you reboot.
● We had a problem with the AltServer app continually crashing when trying to install AltStore to a device. The only solution we could find was to use a different Mac.

Thanks:
A big thanks goes to Pwn20wnd, sbingner, and the rest of the developers who have contributed to this jailbreak.
