Block App Updates 1.0.3, featuring improvements contributed by ichitaso and merged into this project.

Changes since 1.0.0

1.0.3

  • Show each application's version next to its name in the Settings list, as in 1.0.0's original design.
  • Fall back to the bundle name when an application's display name is empty, fixing applications listed without a name.

1.0.2

  • Re-register jailbreak, TrollStore and TrollStore Lite applications after the LaunchServices rebuild, fixing apps that stopped launching, lost their icon labels, disappeared or ran letterboxed after committing changes.
  • Finish committing as soon as LaunchServices reflects the changed applications instead of always waiting at least 60 seconds (about 15–30 seconds in total on iOS 15-26).
  • Restart appstored together with App Store so blocked and unblocked applications appear correctly in the update list.

1.0.1

  • Fit application icons to the Settings list rows.

Installation

Add https://sahinkaa.github.io/ to Sileo or Zebra and install or upgrade Block App Updates. Your package manager selects the matching architecture.

  • Rootless: com.sahinkaa.blockappupdates_1.0.3_iphoneos-arm64.deb
  • Native RootHide: com.sahinkaa.blockappupdates_1.0.3_iphoneos-arm64e.deb

Both packages target iOS 15 and later. Private LaunchServices behavior may vary by iOS version and jailbreak. The new packages have been checked on the build host; this release does not claim additional device testing by sahinkaa.

After installation, follow the package manager's Restart SpringBoard request. When committing changes in Settings, keep the device unlocked until the completion message appears.
