Pangu is a jailbreak program. It performs an untethered jailbreak for all devices on iOS 7.1.x, except the Apple TV. It was initially released on 23 June 2014, and became subject to controversy and criticism.

Controversy

Pangu installs 25PP, a Chinese cracked app store, if the user ticks the checkbox to install it. iH8sn0w confirmed that Pangu does not install spyware or phishing viruses onto the device.

Pangu also uses a revoked enterprise certificate in order to inject the jailbreak, which is removed after the jailbreak is complete.

25PP checkbox was removed in version 1.1.0 unless language is set to Chinese. Other than setting the language to Chinese, 25PP is not installed.

Supported Devices

The only unsupported devices are those of the Apple TV family. All other devices capable of running iOS 7.1.x are supported.
