Understanding the Exploits

SparseRestore targets iOS 17.0 through 18.1.1 and provides comprehensive access to MobileGestalt system configuration. BookRestore covers iOS 18.2 through 26.1 with a narrower feature scope. Apple patched the MobileGestalt vector in iOS 18.2, which is why AI Enabler and device spoofing features will never be supported on 18.2 and later.

Primary Exploit

iOS 17.0 — 18.1.1

⚠️ Important Notes

Always create a full backup before applying any Nugget modifications

Some features require specific hardware (e.g., Dynamic Island requires Face ID sensor)

AI Enabler only functions on iOS 18.1 through 18.2 beta 2

Feature Flags availability depends on the internal iOS version build
