      Depends on your definition of viable

      For me it’s not an option because most bank software detect jailbreaks and refuse to work. Not worth the hassle

        What bank do you have? Usually using choicy to disable all tweak injection besides shadow and shadow to spoof some stuff is enough to make them work.

      You can sideload apps without jailbreaking or paying for a dev account using TrollStore, which utilises core trust bugs to bypass/spoof some app validation keys, on a iPhone XR or newer on iOS 14.0 up to 16.6.1. (ANY version for iPhone X and older). Doesn’t trigger jailbreak detection as it is just app sideloading.
