Installing Taurine (TrollStore)
For support in English, ask for help on the r/Jailbreak Discord Server.
Taurine is a semi-untethered jailbreak, meaning it requires an app to re-apply the exploit after a reboot.
WARNING
In order to follow this method, you'll need an A12 or newer device. If you have an A11 or earlier device, follow Installing Taurine instead.
While Taurine is compatible with jailbreaking every device on iOS/iPadOS versions from 14.0 to 14.8.1, this method of obtaining Taurine requires an A12 or newer device.
WARNING
If you are already jailbroken with unc0ver, make sure to properly remove unc0ver before proceeding.

Preparing TrollStore
In order to be able to sideload Taurine, a couple more steps need to be done.
Installing Persistence Helper
- Reopen the
GTA Car Tracker
app - Press
Register Persistence Helper
The GTA Car Tracker
app can now be used as the Persistence Helper
TIP
The reason the persistence helper is highly important is that, whenever iOS rebuilds its icon cache, all apps installed by TrollStore (as well as TrollStore itself) will either disappear or no longer open.
To workaround this, the Persistence Helper (which will still open even after this happens) can refresh app registrations so that the apps will reappear and open again.
