NoSBReload

Warning

This tweak is no longer necessary as of Substitute 2.0.10 and libhooker 1.2.4-1. It may still be needed if you are using Substrate.

It is not recommended to use this on iOS 15 and above (and the official package will prevent you from installing it), as Apple changed behavior to only terminate apps when killing backboardd rather than SpringBoard, so it may cause issues.

You may have noticed an issue with unc0ver or checkra1n on iOS 13 where autofill for passwords and SMS OTP codes doesn't work correctly. This appears to be caused by sbreload, which is supposed to be a faster and cleaner way to respring, but unfortunately it also breaks autofill. It may also cause other glitches on iOS 12. (You can tell when it's being used because you won't see a respring logo, just a black screen.)

This tweak simply replaces the sbreload binary with one that calls killall -9 SpringBoard instead, thereby avoiding the issue. You only need to do an ldrestart or launchctl reboot userspace once after installing this tweak, and then autofill should continue working through resprings.

Notes

• Cydia seems to use a hardcoded version of sbreload, so it won't be affected by this tweak. You should use another package manager or respring manually and not through Cydia.
• Some tweaks such as BatteryRamp, Sentinel, and SafeShutdown kill backboardd instead of SpringBoard, which also breaks autofill. This tweak doesn't fix that, so you'll have to do an ldrestart or userspace reboot afterwards to fix it. (Again, this is only an issue on unc0ver and checkra1n.)

Other notes

• Killing SpringBoard this way will break "Time since last full charge" (which is only visible on iOS 13 if you're using the System Info tweak). However, many tweaks still respring by killing SpringBoard anyway, so you may run into that issue even without this tweak. Other parts of battery stats are not affected and will continue to work fine.
• Uninstalling this tweak should restore the original sbreload binary. If this does not happen for some reason, reinstall UIKit Tools or restore rootfs.
