A lot of iPhone and iPad users were delighted with the news that the iOS 8 jailbreak was already available immediately after the release of official operating system from the company.
Pangu iOS 8 jailbreak headed by Cydia developer and creator saurik allows iOS 8 devices to be jailbroken through easy steps. The Pangu Team recently released a Windows version of the Pangu jailbreak tool. However, the team also released a Mac OS X version of the said tool for Mac users.
For users who want to download and install the iOS 8 jailbreak, it is important to remember that the iOS device is updated to iOS 8.0 or later. According to the developers, the iOS 8.1 helps prevent problems.
Those who have previously jailbroken devices should restore their devices and download the 8.1 version of the iOS.
Below is the step-by-step procedure on how to update your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch through Mac OS.
Step 1: Backup your iOS 8 device with iTunes, iCloud, or both.
Step 2: Turn off the Passcode under Settings -> Passcode -> Turn Passcode Off.
Step 3: Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings -> iCloud -> Find My iPhone.
Step 4: Download the Pangu Jailbreak tool from http://en.pangu.io/ to Mac OS X.
Step 5: Double-click the Pangu disk image file (.dmg) to extract Pangu8.
Step 6: Control-click or right-click the Pangu8 application and select Open.
Step 7: If prompted by a security dialog box, click Open to confirm.
Step 8: Connect the iOS 8 device to the Mac with a USB cable.
Step 9: Unlock the iOS device and tap Trust if the dialog appears.
Step 10: Click the Start Jailbreak button.
Step 11: Switch the iOS device into Airplane Mode under Settings -> Airplane Mode.
Step 12: Click the Already did button in Pangu on the Mac.

However, those who wanted to get the new iOS 8 jailbreak must hurry as rumors claimed that the beta version of iOS 8.1.1 has been sent to developers and will allegedly kill the Pangu iOS 8 jailbreak.
This means that when Apple officially rolls out the iOS 8.1.1 to the public, the devices will no longer be able to adapt the iOS 8 jailbreak.
