Dopamine Jailbreak Compatibility

Dopamine Jailbreak supports a wide range of Apple devices running compatible iOS versions.

Supported Architectures

  • ARM64E Devices (A12 – A16)
  • M1 and M2 iPads

Supported iOS Versions

  • iOS 15.0 – iOS 15.8.6

  • A Mac or Windows PC
  • Lightning or USB-C cable
  • Stable internet connection
  • Apple ID (preferably a spare account)

How to Install AltStore

To install Dopamine Jailbreak, we first need AltStore.

Step 5: Trust the Developer Certificate

After installation:

  • Go to Settings
  • General
  • VPN & Device Management
  • Select your Apple ID
  • Tap Trust

AltStore should now open successfully.
