Run Mobile Assistant on iOS 10.3.3

Rebecca | Last updated: Aug 13, 2018 04:23PM UTC

I am attempting to run Mobile Assistant on a jailbroken iphone 5C running iOS 10.3.3. I can install the app using the instructions described in the support forums, but the app closes as soon as I open it. Other jailbroken apps work fine. Does the Mobile Assistant normally work on 10.3.3 and is there any troubleshooting that can be done?

MobileAssistant currently supports iPhones, iPods and iPads running versions 8.0 onwards of the iOS operating system. Additionally, the certificate pinning bypass feature of Mobile Assistant does not currently support iOS version 10 onwards. - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/articles/2798916-installing-burp-suite-mobile-assistant

Did you get this to work? I'm having the same issue. Installed through Cydia on iPad (3,4) running 10.3.3 and the mobile assistant app will not open.

I'm trying to run Mobile Assistant on iPhone 5 running iOS 10.3.3, jailbroken with h3lix. Previously installed the mobile assistant and was able to launch the app and intercept traffic. It suddenly stopped working with the same issue as @Rebecca. Did anyone manage to get the Mobile Assistant working?

Bummer, I just saw this! And it is in the article too which I can't believe I missed. Anyone have any work arounds? Any expectations to get this working in future versions. Thanks!

There are no short term plans to update this feature. We may look at it in the future.

IOS 8.0 very old. Current IOS version: 12 Please update for IOS 9 or 10. Because SSL pinning very important.

We do intend to support newer iOS versions in future, but our development team is busy on other features at the moment. I believe ssl-kill-switch2 works up to iOS 11.

Hi Paul Johnston , I have just been testing with SSL Kill Switch v2 on iOS 12.1.1. This works perfectly for certificate pinning bypass! All the best, Paul Smith

Thanks for the update Paul.
