yalu is a series of untethered jailbreaks released for iOS. Developed by Luca Todesco (qwertyoruiop), yalu was initially released as an incomplete iOS 8.4.1 code sign and sandbox bypass, which has since been added to by others. Todesco then released a new version of yalu in beta, in the form of an IPA, supporting some devices running iOS 10.1-10.1.1.
The incomplete 8.4.1 yalu
Released on GitHub, yalu for 8.4.1 supports various unknown devices. Some users have managed to use the code released to achieve a fully untethered jailbreak, but nothing has been publicly released.
yalu for iOS 10.1-10.1.1
Sometimes known as YaluX or yalu + mach_portal, yalu for iOS 10.1 is currently in beta, and supports the iPad Pro, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the iPhone SE and the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Issues have arisen with devices using TSMC manufactured chips.
The jailbreak utilizes several of Ian Beer's exploits discovered in the kernel of iOS 10.1.
The jailbreak is patched as of iOS 10.2, though Todesco has said he will update yalu to support iOS 10.2.
yalu is downloaded as an IPA, and sideloaded onto the device using saurik's Cydia Impactor.
