Yes! XinaA15 is free and it will always stay that way. Every jailbreak these days will be free, and it wouldn't be right making it paid.
XinaA15 only supports a few versions of iOS 15.x at the moment, which is 15.0 up to 15.1.1. You can read more about the compatibility here.
The answer is quite subjective, depending on what you do with the jailbreak it could be completely safe and then completely dangerous. Just make sure to follow the precautions at the Warnings Page.
Unfortunately (and fortunately), no. The reason for this is because you'll be able to use palera1n which should work perfectly for people like you who are on A11 and lower.
As of March 10, 2023, XinaA15 does not support 15.2 or higher because of how the exploits that are used in XinaA15 are patched in versions like 15.2 or newer. Because of this, Xina520 would need to implement other exploits to support iOS 15.2 or higher.
There aren't many tweaks that are compatible with iOS 15 or rootless jailbreaks (like XinaA15), however there is a tweak compatibility list that is made by the Xina Community here.
TrollStore is more preferred than other sideloaders because it allows the XinaA15 app to be permanently signed and also because you need to & should be using TrollStore to use your package manager, such as Sileo or Saily.
As of version 1.1.7.x, XinaA15 has gotten extremely more stable compared to lower versions such as 1.1.6.2 or 1.1.3.6. However that doesn't mean it's still fully stable. The reason it's unstable is because it's still in-development and it's in public beta. Everything isn't stable and won't be for quite a while.
There isn't really a guaranteed answer for how often XinaA15 updates. It could update once every month, it could update once every week, or twice every 3 days, it really varies. You could take a look at the GitHub Releases and think of an answer yourself.
No, it doesn't! XinaA15 is a semi-untethered jailbreak which allows you to install the jailbreak app on a phone, and also jailbreak on that phone. Not only that, but you can boot perfectly fine if your phone ever turns off or reboots.
This is because XinaA15 is a semi-untethered jailbreak. This makes it where every time you reboot your device you will no longer be jailbroken. You will need to use an app to rejailbreak your device and then regain your tweaks.
This is actually quite a simple process, however you must do the following first:
- Uninstall the XinaA15 jailbreak here.
- Download the Fugu15 Max IPA and install with TrollStore.
- Disable your WiFi (cause you're on 15.0-15.1.1) and then press
Jailbreak - Enjoy using Fugu15 Max. Thank you for using XinaA15 and being with us.
There is only one official GitHub and it's jacksight's GitHub. The main reason why there are two is because of how this GitHub used to be an edit of the official GitHub. This was meant to be a GitHub that simply reworded everything and I used to state that this was the "unofficial GitHub". Soon after though, I've started making Pull Requests to the official XinaA15 GitHub and now there are two that are mainly used.
Yes exactly! You can use just one of them and it'll still work out for you. The option I do however recommend using is the Wiki, as it provides much more information and in-depth steps compared to the simple nature of the normal guides. Of course just like with any normal human being, the normal guides will still be updated alongside the Wiki. This is just in case if people still prefer the simple nature of the guides, or if it's still more commonly used.
