No, this is not possible. You will then receive an error stating that the app is not allowed to run on a jailbroken device on iOS (Apple).

Jailbreaking is a procedure that involves unlocking or bypassing the software restrictions on a device, such as a smartphone or tablet. While jailbreaking can provide users with more control and customization options, it also exposes the device to several risks and drawbacks. These include:

  1. Security Compromise: Jailbreaking removes the built-in security measures implemented by the device manufacturer and operating system, making the device more vulnerable to malware, viruses, and unauthorized access.

  2. Phone Instability: Modifying the device's operating system through jailbreaking can lead to instability, including frequent crashes, freezes, or performance issues that may affect the overall functionality of the device.

  3. Voided Warranty: Jailbreaking typically voids the warranty provided by the device manufacturer or service provider. This means that if any hardware or software issues arise after jailbreaking, you may not be eligible for free repairs or replacements.

  4. Data Loss: Incorrectly performing the jailbreaking process or using incompatible software can result in data loss. This includes personal files, contacts, settings, and even installed applications.

Considering the sensitive health information contained in the app, it is crucial to prioritize security. Therefore, we do not allow our app to run on jailbroken or rooted devices. Jailbreaking or rooting can weaken the security of the device, making it more susceptible to potential cyber threats and compromising the confidentiality and integrity of the health information stored on the device. We advise you to check with the place or person from whom you purchased the device to determine whether it has been jailbroken or rooted. If the device has undergone such modifications, we recommend using a non-jailbroken device to ensure the security and proper functioning of the app and to protect the privacy of your health information.

In some cases it is possible to undo a jailbreak.
