Nugget

LeminLimez released a new project that unlocks hidden features on iOS 17. Nugget, an open-source tool, activates Dynamic Island, Always On Display, device model changes, and more on iOS 17 and 18. For a simpler interface, try Nugget 2.0 or the new MisakaX.

Requirements:

  • macOS 12 (Monterey) or higher on your Mac
  • iOS 17.0 (versions 21A326, 21A327, 21A329, and 21A331)
  • The latest version of Python 3 installed
  • Find My iPhone disabled on the device

What is Nugget?

Nugget is a script that unlocks hidden iOS features without jailbreaking, using MobileGestalt to enable options like Dynamic Island, Boot Chime, Charge Limit, and Stage Manager. It works with iOS 16.0 to 16.7 RC and 17.0 to 18.1 Beta 3. Though briefly available on GitHub, it allows for customization of features, though some, like Always On Display, may not be compatible with iOS 18. To use Nugget, generate a MobileGestalt file from your device and place it in Nugget’s folder. A shortcut can help with this process.

When you open Nugget, you’ll find a simple text interface. You can enable features like Dynamic Island and change your device’s model name for a personalized touch.

Other features let you toggle Boot Chime, adjust Charge Limit, enable Stage Manager, and disable region-specific restrictions such as the shutter sound, Apple Pencil, Action Button, and Internal Storage. This gives you greater control over your device’s functionality. However, compatibility with all options may vary by device.

How to Create the MobileGestalt Shortcut

The MobileGestalt Shortcut is a script that helps you locate, retrieve, and save the com.apple.MobileGestalt.plist file from your device. Here’s how to create and use it:

  1. Define File Location: The script targets the com.apple.MobileGestalt.plist file located at:

file://private/var/containers/Shared/SystemGroup/systemgroup.com.apple.mobilegestaltcache/Library/Caches/com.apple.MobileGestalt.plist

  1. Get Content: The script retrieves the content from the specified location on your device.
  2. Save the File: It then saves the file to your chosen location, such as iCloud or local storage.

This process ensures you have the necessary MobileGestalt file for use with Nugget or other tools.
