What is Cowabunga?
Cowabunga for iOS is a versatile tool that allows you to modify and access various hidden system settings on iOS 14 to iOS 16.1.2. Utilizing the MacDirtyCow exploit, the application offers a convenient way to enable or disable iOS settings without the need for a full jailbreak.
Once the installation process for Cowabunga IPA is completed, the app will be accessible from the Home Screen of your iPhone. In order to apply new settings, a respring of your device is necessary. Fortunately, Cowabunga offers an option to automatically respring your device.
The app interface is divided to four different sections such as Home, SpringBoard, Audio, and Misc. From Home section you can respring your device, toggle on to run in background, and activate the option to auto respring after applying changes on iOS 14, iOS 15, and iOS 16.
Cowabunga iOS Toolbox
Cowabunga's SpringBoard Tools feature a wide range of options to customize your device's appearance and sound effects. These options include hiding the dock and home bar, disabling background and blur effects for folders and the app switcher, and disabling or replacing audio files for charging, lock, notifications, screenshots, and payment success sounds.
Note: Certain changes may require Cowabunga to run in the background with Location Services enabled. Some options may not work or may require multiple attempts to apply. All applied changes are permanent on iOS 14.0 up to iOS 14.8.1.
In addition to its other features, Cowabunga offers options to change the system version (for iOS 15+), and to enable iPhone X gestures on older devices. This allows for a more seamless navigation experience, including gestures such as swiping up from the bottom to go to the Home Screen, swiping up and holding to access the App Switcher, swiping down from the top-right corner to access Control Center, and from the top-left to access Notification Center.
Cowabunga iOS is a continually evolving tool, with its latest 6.0 release introducing a revamped user interface and a host of new features. Among these new features is a device model name changer module, a custom audio importing feature complete with playback previews, and notifications alerting users when the app stops running in the background.
Cowabunga for iOS 16
When you are running iOS 16 you will be also able to enable Dynamic Island feature regardless of whether they have the newest iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max. Note that it modifies the iOS 16 files to turn on the Dynamic Island. If you're specifically interested in this feature, you may also want to try out DynamicCow, a tool that has been specifically designed for this purpose.
Warning: MacDirtyCow bug has been fixed with iOS 16.2 / iOS 15.7.2 releases.
Like many other tools that utilize the MacDirtyCow exploit, Cowabunga was released as an open-source project, with the source code made available through its GitHub repository. This allows for the community to contribute to the development of the tool for iOS 14 – iOS 16.1.2.
The source code for Cowabunga is written in the Swift programming language, and it uses the MacDirtyCow exploit, which is developed in C language, to provide access to the file system on iOS 14, iOS 15, and iOS 16. The lead developer behind the Cowabunga project is leminlimez, who has been actively working on the development and maintenance of the tool.

qbap 2 years ago
Cowabunga will not be compatible with iOS 16.2 as it utilizes a bug to access system files on iOS, which has already been fixed by Apple.
