A modification affecting the restarting of the SpringBoard process on an Apple mobile device running iOS 13 is the focus. This process is distinct from a complete device reboot; rather, it reloads the graphical user interface, similar to restarting the Explorer process on Windows or the Finder on macOS. These modifications are often utilized to apply settings or configurations changes made through jailbreaking without requiring a full system restart.
The advantages of employing such adjustments include faster application of themes, settings, and code injections compared to a complete reboot. Historically, these types of adjustments were particularly important in jailbreaking circles as they provided a quicker and more seamless user experience. They allowed users to instantly see the effects of their customizations without the longer wait times associated with a complete power cycle of the device. This facilitated easier troubleshooting and experimentation with different adjustments and system configurations.
