For iOS users, there are more advantages of having a jail break than there are drawbacks. Still, there are a few scenarios that really make you wish you had never heard of Cydia. Of course, jail breaking takes away a touch of stability from your iPhone, and in addition to that, there are certain apps on the iTunes App Store that refuse to run if they find your device is jail broken. As always, the iOS dev community rises to the challenge and comes up with an app to counter this issue. Introducing xCon, a free Cydia tweak that bypasses the aforementioned jailbreak check, allowing you to run all such App Store apps that normally wouldn’t run on a jail broken device.
However, don’t get too excited just yet. Although the tweak is pretty useful, it is by no means universal. As of now, the tweak only supports a few apps, all of which are listed on the xCon description page.
The present list covers most of the widely used anti-jailbreak apps on the App Store, but nevertheless, seems a bit limited. The developer of xCon has requested users to contact him if they want more apps added to the supported list, and so we might see the list grow soon.
