Does SparseBox really works on IOS 18.0.1? Yes... it does work on ALL devices!

I want to bypass the 3 app limit.

For the life of me, I can't get it to work on any of my devices (all running IOS 18.0.1. (2 iPhones 15 Pro Max, 2 iPhones 16 Pro Max and 1 iPad M4 13") All 5 devices running SideStore v0.60 (6000) from 10 hours ago and on IOS 18.0.1. Was this exploit silently patched on IOS 18.0.1? I just want to bypass the 3 app limit. Thanks in advance.

Of course, it works

Of course, it works

The app doesn't even open. Yes, I closed SideStore. WireGuard VPN connected. Tried disconnecting and connecting again... Impossible to open SparseBox. Also the 3 app limit switch in SideStore does nothing. I have to use LiveContainer. Remember, it's the same issue on all 5 devices. Is anyone actually using SparseBox on IOS 18.0.1? Any real confirmation? Anyone able to bypass the 3 app limit on IOS 18.0.1?

Thank You

That's from 1 of the iPhones 16 Pro Max. If you want from the iPad or 15PM just let me know. All 5 devices have the same exact behavior. IOS 18.0.1 in common on all devices.

Try this build

khanhduytran0 avatar Dec 30 '24 14:12 khanhduytran0

Try this build

iPhone 16 Pro Max:

1st time open

2nd time open (and always now)

image

But... It opened! Not sure if those errors are normal or not since this is literally the 1st time ever I am able to actually run the app. Thank you a loooot... So, is that normal? Not yet?

Edit 1... Let me add the pairing file...

Edit 2... Added pairing file. Now I am stuck with the "minimuxer is not ready message..." Closed SideStore, connected, disconnected, reconnected VPN, turned off device, turned back on and went directly to Wireguard then tried again and again with SparseBox... Can't get pass this.

Edit 3... Definitely stuck with the VPN issue. Can't get pass the minimuxer is not ready error.

iPhone 16 Pro Max

So, there is no solution to this?

I can provide logs/test whatever you need in order to solve this issue ones and for all. I see many users with the same problem. SparseBox (for the 3 app limit bypass) & SideStore's 3 app limit bypass are literally the only 2 reasons I haven't upgraded from IOS 18.0.1. And to this date, I haven't even got any of the 2 apps to actually work and bypass the 3 app limit.

Another thing... My original question still stands, can anyone REALLY confirm that SparseBox (at least the 3 app limit bypass) actually works on IOS 18.0.1? Anyone running this exactly on 18.0.1? I know it works on IOS 17 up to 18.0 (not including 17.7.1) and 18.1 Beta 1 up to 18.1 Beta 4. But what about 18.0.1?

Update:

Can confirm that the latest SparseBox works on IOS 18.0.1 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. However it does NOT work on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. See my previous posts regarding the errors on 16PM.

iPhone 15 Pro Max with 3 App limit bypass enabled (SparseBox running inside LiveContainer):

So... The issue has nothing to do with IOS 18.0.1. It's specifically with the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Update:

iPad M4 13" running IOS 18.0.1 with SparseBox 3 app limit bypass enabled.

(SparseBox running inside LiveContainer)

So, basically the only issue is with the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

I might be talking to myself in this monolog but if the developer wants to make SparseBox work on iPhone 16 Pro Max, I am willing to help all I can. Take care everyone.

Sorry for my silence. Let me clarify a bit. One of my followers tried this on 16 Pro 18.0.1, it works, so device, CPU and version do not matter. What could be matter is whether you used other tools (Nugget/MisakaX) before, or have SparseBox uninstalled and reinstalled as new?

Either of them (including SparseBox itself) may have messed with file permission (although I haven’t checked it) causing file unreadable. In such case, grab your MobileGestalt file saved somewhere, or try to pull it using a shortcut or tools on the computer. Place it in SparseBox/OriginalMobileGestalt.plist

Thank you a lot for this reply!

I can confirm SparseBox working perfectly fine on all 5 devices. 2 IPhone 16 Pro Max, 2 IPhone 15 Pro Max and 1 IPad M4 13". I added the MobileGestalt shortcut from here:

https://idevicecentral.com/ios-guide/how-to-save-mobilegestalt-file-from-ios-16-ios-18/

And voila... Now perfectly working!

Again, thank you!
