Setting up Tender

Setting Up Tender

Note

This tool is missing quite a few features from regular Nugget, most notably PosterBoard and Daemons.

Prerequesties

  • An iPhone/iPad with an A12+/M1+ SoC, running iOS 16.0 - iOS 18.1.1 (iOS 18.2db2)
  • A MacBook or PC (no Linux)
  • The latest version of Sideloadly
  • The latest version of Jitterbugpair
  • On your iDevice: StosVPN
  • Make sure your iDevice does not have Find My enabled.

Step 1: Installing everything

  1. Download & Install Sideloadly, making sure that you are downloading the correct version for your operating system.
  2. Download Jitterbugpair, making sure that you are downloading the correct version for your operating system.
  3. On your iDevice: Download & Install StosVPN.

Step 2: Downloading & Installing Nugget Revamped

  1. Download the latest build of Tender.
  2. Open Sideloadly, and log in with your Apple ID.
  3. Plug in your iDevice, and make sure it's trusted.
  4. Import the Nugget Revamped iPA file, and hit "Start". The app will install to your device.

Step 3: Getting the app to launch

  1. Go to General > VPN & Device Management, and click on the pane with your Apple ID.
  2. Click the "Verify" button after that.
  3. Now, go to Privacy & Security > Developer Mode, and turn the switch on.
  4. Once your device restarts, allow Developer Mode to be enabled. You may need to enter your passcode. The app should now launch when you try to open it.

Step 4: Getting the Pairing File

  1. On your computer, open Jitterbugpair. You will have to trust it. Make sure that your iDevice is connected and trusted.
  2. Your iPhone will prompt you to put in a passcode. Enter your passcode, close Jitterbugpair, then reopen it. A pairing file should be generated.
  3. Navigate to where the pairing file was generated, and share it to your iPhone using either AirDrop or another file sharing method like email.

Step 5: Importing the Pairing File

  1. On your iPhone, Open Nugget Revamped, and click the "Import Pairing File" button. Click your pairing file from the browser (should be a string of number followed by the extension .mobileconfig).
  2. Force quit the app by opening the switcher and sliding the app up until it disappears.
  3. Open StosVPN, and click "Connect". Allow it to add new VPN configurations. Once the VPN is connected, open Nugget Revamped and start applying!

Troubleshooting

Why do I get the error "minimuxer is not ready"?

  1. Ensure that the VPN is connected, and that you are connected to WiFi/Cellular.
  2. Make sure that the pairing file is properly imported.
  3. Close out the app by force quitting it, turn off StosVPN, turn it back on, and open Nugget.
  4. If nothing else, you can either factory reset (not ideal) or try and fix minimuxer.

Fixing Minimuxer

Note

This will work on iOS 16.0 - iOS 18.0.1 ONLY. If you are on a later version of iOS, you're going to have to factory reset your device, or, like I recommended earlier, use Nugget

Step 1: Downloading & Installing Prerequsites

  1. Download Nugget, making sure to only download the source code.
  2. Follow the steps in the Readme to install Python and the requirements.

Step 2: Running the Script

  1. Connect your device, making sure it's trusted.
  2. Open terminal, and run cd [PATH/TO/NUGGET].
  3. Now, run python3 fix-minimuxer.py.
  4. Your device should now reboot.

Step 3: Finishing Up

  1. Once your device turns on, head to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset Location & Privacy.
  2. Once the Location & Privacy is reset, make sure to generate a new pairing file. Follow steps 4-5, making sure to remove the old pairing file in Nugget Revamped before adding the new one.
