iOS 8 New Storage Structures introduction

crazian · November 18, 2014

Greetings everyone

As per our Chinese Master Jailbreaker Pangu team has released the Jail break for iOS 8.x

Many of you might have been upgraded your device

since iFile now comes with a hex editor, i found it quite handy to just modify from it

and iOS 8 is now putting our user application in a different location and Document and library files has been separated from the installation files (.app)

/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/ <---these are now the stand alone installation files where you replace your IDA hacked style

/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application <---and these are where the document and library files lies in.

/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Well how do we get the clue what the XXXXX means for now since ifile doesn't have the "show application name" function worked on ios8 for now

get into the XXXXX and make a quick view on the .com.apple.mobile_container_manager.metadata.plist file with text

take a peak on

<key>MCMMetadataIdentifier</key>

<string>AVPlayerHD.eplayworks.com</string>

There we go, it's my video player

ifile now does not support

if you are making a transfer with a game save (say PVZ2, the save file is not in Document file, u can hardly retrive from itunes), or a iapfreed app data from jailbroken device to a non-jbed device, now u know where to look at
