iPod touch

Applies to nori 0.6 on the iPod touch 6th generation, iOS 12.2 or later, jailbroken.

The iPod client is a UIKit app over the same core: Home, Library, Search and Settings tabs, the player and mini player, the queue, lyrics, the equalizer and per-device sound, downloads, remote control and jams, and the lock screen’s controls. It has a dark theme by default, and a light one.

What you need

Section titled “What you need”
  • An iPod touch 6th generation (iPod7,1) on iOS 12.2 or later (12.5.8 is the last).
  • A jailbreak, such as checkra1n, with AppSync Unified installed, since the app is fake-signed.

Install

Section titled “Install”

The release carries nori-ipod-<version>.ipa, fake-signed for AppSync Unified: install it with a package manager or file manager on the iPod that installs IPAs.

From the source, with Docker on Linux or a Mac and the iPod on USB:

Terminal window
tools/ipod.sh          # builds the app in Docker, then installs and runs it on the iPod

It needs sshpass and libimobiledevice’s iproxy, and reaches the iPod over USB with checkra1n’s default password unless NORI_IPOD_PASSWORD says otherwise. See iPod internals for the build.

Limits

Section titled “Limits”
  • The headphone jack, the speaker and Bluetooth are the outputs; there are no USB DAC pages.
  • Downloads run while the app is open or playing.
  • Signing in takes an address, user and password or an API key, and a second address; extra HTTP headers and self-signed certificates are not applied yet.
  • After a reboot without a computer, checkra1n’s jailbreak is gone and the app will not open until the device is jailbroken again.
