| This will take you through installing the iOS 17 "tvOS profile" to block updates on your device. It's easy to install and ensures you'll stay on the firmware you're currently on. This is useful if you're waiting for a jailbreak for a lower version and don't want to update in case it gets patched. | |||

| This will block updates until 31st January 2025. Hopefully this guide will have been updated by then! | |||

I haven't verified this, but the mobileconfig file contains:
<key>RemovalDate</key>
<date>2025-01-31T00:00:00Z</date>
| ## Installing the tvOS profile | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Set your device's date to any point before December 14th, 2023 | ||
| - This is so that the profile can be installed despite an expired certificate, and can be set back to normal after the profile is installed. | ||
| 1. Open [https://static.itsnebula.net/apple/noota/17.mobileconfig](https://static.itsnebula.net/apple/noota/17.mobileconfig) in your device's browser | ||
| 1. Select "Allow" if prompted | ||
| - If you recieve a prompt that "Your Clock Is Set Incorrectly", click `Show Details` -> `visit this website`. You may then need to reload the page. |

static.itsnebula.net's SSL certificate is due to be refreshed on Sat, 27 Jan 2024 02:40:51 UTC. After that occurs, users who've set their clocks back will start receiving this warning. As such, this change could wait until then, if desired

The profile has a static name, so we may as well mention it. I also added the next step (clicking install) for the sake of conciseness

| 1. Confirm by tapping `Install` two more times |

I checked, and the device requests your passcode after tapping install once. You then tap install 2 more times

The rest is obvious, but I'll just mention that since I fixed the line above's indenting, I was able to replace the 3. with a 1. on this line, without affecting the site
I will write a review explaining each individual change, rather than trying to explain them all here. I'd recommend viewing the changes in the
