It's extremely stupid and disappointing that this jailbreak was released before iOS 7.1.



the bugs were being patched in 7.1. they had to release.


The jailbreak works in 7.1b2 though, isn't that indicative of them not being patched?

Leaks aside geohot planned to burn these exploits on the release day of 7.1 by the looks of things (he just registered the domain for the new jailbreak the day before evasi0n7).


there is a lot of inside story that isn't public. Suffice to say, the bugs were DOA.


That's disappointing. I'm surprised they didn't pull the WWDC.app if they knew about it though.


They said it was because they feared someone was going to burn the bugs, not because they were patched in 7.1.
