You may have noticed an issue with some iOS 13 jailbreaks where autofill for passwords and SMS OTP codes doesn't work correctly. This appears to be caused by sbreload
, which is supposed to be a faster and cleaner way to respring, but unfortunately it also breaks autofill. (You can tell when it's being used because you won't see a respring logo, just a black screen.)
This tweak simply replaces the sbreload
binary with one that calls killall -9 SpringBoard
instead, thereby avoiding the issue. You only need to do an ldrestart
or launchctl reboot userspace
once after installing this tweak, and then autofill should continue working through resprings.
It should only be necessary to install this if you're using unc0ver or checkra1n on iOS 13, or if you encounter other glitches caused by sbreload
on iOS 12. odysseyra1n users should just update to libhooker 1.2.4 or newer instead.
- Cydia seems to use a hardcoded version of
sbreload
, so it won't be affected by this tweak. You should use another package manager or respring manually and not through Cydia. - If you use a tweak such as BatteryRamp, Sentinel, or SafeShutdown to hibernate your device, autofill may break after waking your device. Again, this is only an issue on unc0ver/checkra1n (not odysseyra1n), and an ldrestart or userspace reboot will fix it.
- Killing SpringBoard this way will break "Time since last full charge" (which is only visible on iOS 13 if you're using the System Info tweak). However, many tweaks still respring by killing SpringBoard anyway, so you may run into that issue even without this tweak. Other parts of battery stats are not affected and will continue to work fine.
- Uninstalling this tweak should restore the original
sbreload
binary. If this does not happen for some reason, reinstall UIKit Tools or restore rootfs. - If UIKit Tools gets an update, you should uninstall this tweak before updating it to avoid conflicts.
