Support

iOS Version Support Status
iOS 16.x Possible ¹
iOS 16.7.2 Tested, needs more testing
iOS 17.0 - iOS 18.7.1 Supported
iOS 18.7.2+ Not Supported
iOS 26.0 - iOS 26.0.1 Supported
iOS 26.1+ Not Supported

¹ While technically affected by the exploit lara abuses, offsets havent been found for these versions and lara therefore doesnt support them.

Important Notes:

  • This tool does not work on M5 or A19 (Pro) devices regardless of iOS version because of MIE.
  • YMMV on M-series CPUs. If you are on an M-series device, try going to lara settings, selecting Modify Offsets, and setting t1sz_boot to 0x11.
  • Issues involving lara not working on either unsupported or technically supported versions will be closed immediately.

Known Issues

  • wont work on M5, A19 and A19 Pro due to MTE
  • the kernel may panic when lara is closed from the app switcher.
  • dirtyzero does not work.
  • apps don't detect JIT enabled however they are enabled.
  • remotecall is super bugged and may not work properly.

Fixes

kernelcache download fix (manual fallback):

  1. Download the IPSW tool for your device here.
  2. Extract the archive.
  3. Open Terminal.
  4. Navigate to the extracted folder:
    cd /path/to/ipsw_3.1.671_something_something/
    
  5. Extract the kernel:
    ./ipsw extract --kernel [drag your ipsw here]
    
  6. Get the kernelcache file.
  7. Transfer the kernelcache to your iPhone.
  8. In the Files app:
    • Go to "On My iPhone" > "lara"
    • Place the kernelcache file there.
  9. Rename the file to kernelcache (without extension).

Tips

  • deleting and redownloading kernelcache is known to fix many issues. do this before asking me for support.
  • closing and reopening the app can fix font change issues.
  • respringing is needed to apply springboard changes such as font changes.
