It's not the jailbreak. It's xCon. I have a few apps crash when xCon is installed. If I uninstall xCon, the apps no longer crash. Also I have a weird mail issue when xCon is installed. Whenever I receive a new email, my mailbox gets wiped and it has to re-download all my mail again. Very weird.

Nothing obvious...seems about the same. I do have a couple of iOS apps that are crashing and one of them, American Airlines, is too important for me to overlook. I live on AA, and need either find a way to fix it, or give up the jailbreak.

That's weird.
It didn't give me any issues like that but was eating up my battery quick.
I only had it installed for a day.

WOW, I was just going to post about this in a new thread, no idea it was xCon related. I've been traveling overseas, just got back this morning. My email kept doing this where I'd get a new email and all the emails in my email box disappear till it re-establishes a network connection and then downloads the email. Clearly the common link here is xCon... but why?

No, I removed it from my iphone but still have it on my ipad.
Since that's what I use the most to view tivo recordings.
Also waiting for updates and fixes on xCon.
Or wonder if they have a single tivo only hack since that's the only app I need it for. Seems like having a package that's made for 10-20 different appstore apps might cause issues with other non related things or battery drain.

Agreed. Well I'm about to take the plunge and upgrade my trusty ol' 7.1.2 iPad Mini Retina to 8.1.1 ... here goes nothin.

So I took the plunge. Glad I did actually. Everything went spectacular with the upgrade and installation of the tweaks I like.

The only thing I find odd is the way the Tivo App behaves. It's like it thinks it's on an away-network when I'm at home. I even tried disconnecting cellular and only connecting via WiFi.

The app loads. I even re-fun manual setup, it detects the Tivo on the local network. I can stream\download directly from it via Wifi just fine, however if I press Watch Now and then it pops up "Watch on TV" or "Watch on iPad" the WATCH ON TV option is greyed out and cannot be selected.

Any idea as to what could be causing this?

Aside from that issue (one which DEFINITELY isn't a deal breaker) I'm very happy I went from 7.1.2 to 8.1.1 while I still can.

Anyone know if this dev has a Twitter? There's been no updates on Good for Enterprise since March and iOS 7.0.4 :(

Only thing holding me back from the break.

The new xCon beta works perfectly for me with the Good app.

Do you have 3G unrestrictor installed?
Let me know how you make out with battery too.

I realized what the issue was. Had a power outage and my tivo was locked up... totally unrelated.... resolved, and working fine now.

What steps did you take? I removed Good. installed xCon. Installed Good, activated. Right away I got compliance check failure.

I am on 8.1 Pangu with an iPhone 6+.

I installed the beta xCon and then installed the Good app from the app store. Then I entered my pin into Good and so far have not failed the compliance check. Maybe my employer changed their settings on the Good server? I would doubt it though. Wish I could give you more pointers.

I sure hope 8.1.1 isn't the issue....I just updated my test 5s to it last night and used Taig. I am not JB'g my 6 until I get this 5s working the way I need my 6 to.

I'm so confused. Why would they release 39b5 when the current release is 40b1?

I dunno. My phone had v38 on it until today Cydia told me there was an update and it went to 39b5. Where did you get 40 from?
