Why do you think 3uTools is a spyware program?

Fahrenheit commented 2 years ago

I was talking about this tut in the r/LegacyJailbreak server and was told you denied this request. 3uTools harvests device details and other data. As well, all jailbreaks that they rehost are pirated because they violate the licenses they were created under. I would love to recommend the tutorial to people, but this tells users to download a tool that harvests data and installs piracy. There's other open source tools you can use to directly install IPAs without putting users at risk. Kawaii who submitted the pull request actually has a tool that does just that on Windows. https://github.com/kawaiizenbo/AppManager Please reconsider updating the tutorial, thank you!

Thank you @Fahrenheit and sorry @kawaiizenbo cz I didnt know about your tool. I definitely will add AppManager to the guide.

About 3uTools: while many people said it is malware and it steals your data. I couldn't find a convincing proof. Best I can found is some comments on reddit with no real evidence/log. Do you have any trusted sources? I mean just because 3uTools is from Chinese, doesn't mean it‘s malware.
