iOS 17 using SideJITServer
SideJITServer: Activate JIT on iOS 17 Made Easy
SideJITServer is a command-line tool that enables Just-In-Time (JIT) functionality for compatible apps on iOS 17 devices. It works seamlessly across Windows, Linux, and macOS within the same WiFi network, enhancing users’ performance for JIT-enabled apps.
Created by nythepegasus, a key developer from the SideStore team, SideJITServer simplifies enabling JIT functionality for apps on iOS.
Requirements:
SideJITServer runs as a Python script on your desktop and requires specific component versions:
pymobiledevice3>=4.2.3,<4.3.0Flask==3.0.2zeroconf==0.132.2
How to Install SideJITServer
Follow these steps to set up SideJITServer on your desktop:
Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment
Set up an isolated environment for the Python project by creating a virtual environment named venv.
bashCopy codepython3 -m venv venv
Step 2: Install SideJITServer
Use the following pip command to install SideJITServer:
bashCopy codepip3 install SideJITServer
Step 3: Install pymobiledevice3
Install the Python implementation of various tools for iDevices. Ensure you use the latest version of pymobiledevice3 below 4.3.0 for compatibility.
bashCopy codepython3 -m pip install -U pymobiledevice3
Step 4: Verify Installation
Run the launch command to check if SideJITServer is installed correctly. Additionally, open http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser to confirm if your device is paired.
bashCopy codeSideJITServer --help
You’re all set to enable JIT functionality for your iOS apps!
How to Configure SideJITServer
Follow these steps to pair your iOS 17 device and enable JIT mode:
Step 1: Pair Your Device
Connect your iOS 17 device to your computer and run the following command to pair it:
bashCopy codeSideJITServer --pair
On your iPhone, follow the prompts to continue.
Step 2: Trust Your Computer
A “Trust This Computer?” popup will appear on your iPhone’s Home Screen. Tap Trust and enter your PIN to connect your device and computer.
Step 3: Start the SideJITServer
Run the server on your computer using this command:
bashCopy codeSideJITServer
If the command requires admin privileges, use sudo and provide your password when prompted.
Step 4: Add the Shortcut
Download and install the required Shortcut on your iPhone to detect and enable apps in JIT mode.
Step 5: Set Up the Shortcut
On your iPhone, tap Set Up Shortcut and follow the instructions on-screen.
Step 6: Provide Your Device’s UDID
Locate your device’s UDID by visiting http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser. Example UDID format: 00022010-001A5BC60CS9012X. Enter this UDID in the Shortcut setup.
Step 7: Enter Your Server Address
Find your server address in the terminal where SideJITServer is running. Enter the full URL, including the port (e.g., http://192.168.0.241:8080).
Once configured, you’re ready to enjoy JIT functionality on your iOS apps!
How to Enable JIT for Apps on iOS 17
Follow these steps to enable Just-In-Time (JIT) mode for supported apps on iOS 17 using SideJITServer:
