Are there any known bugs with the latest iOS 18 jailbreak methods


There are several known bugs and issues associated with the latest iOS 18 jailbreak methods, as well as the iOS 18 system itself. Here’s a summary of the most significant points:

Known Bugs with iOS 18 Jailbreak Methods

1. Stability Issues: Users have reported that jailbreaking iOS 18 can lead to instability and potential bricking of devices. This is particularly concerning as jailbreaking bypasses Apple's built-in security features, exposing devices to risks such as malware and unauthorized access[1][3].

2. Common Bugs Post-Jailbreak: After jailbreaking, users may experience specific problems, including:
- Overheating of the device
- Rapid battery drain
- Face ID malfunctions[3][6].

3. SparseRestore Bug: A critical bug that facilitates certain jailbreak tools (like TrollStore) was patched in iOS 18.1 Beta 5. Therefore, users are advised to avoid updating past this version if they wish to continue using these tools effectively[2].

4. Use-After-Free Vulnerability (CVE-2024-44285): This bug was identified in earlier versions of iOS 18 but was patched in subsequent updates. It has limited exploit potential, especially for newer devices due to enhanced security measures in arm64e architecture[7].

5. Device Compatibility Issues: While tools like Palera1n and Sileem Repo Extractor support iOS 18, their effectiveness can vary based on the specific device model and iOS version being used. Some tools may not work on newer devices due to increased security measures implemented by Apple[1][4].

General iOS 18 Bugs

In addition to jailbreak-specific issues, users have reported various bugs within the iOS 18 system itself, including:
- Download failures or stuck updates
- Wi-Fi connectivity problems
- General lagging or performance issues
- Authentication errors when using certain apps[3][6].

These bugs highlight the challenges faced by users who choose to jailbreak their devices or who simply upgrade to the latest iOS version. It is recommended that users carefully consider these risks before proceeding with a jailbreak or updating their devices.
