Currently, TaiG released iOS 8.1.1, iOS 8.1.2, iOS 8.2 and recently they released jailbreak for iOS 10.2 and iOS 8.3. So, the first and best choice for me is “TaiG” jailbreak. They’re reliable and offers stable jailbreak tool for Windows. But, if you’re on Mac PC, you need to download and install PP Jailbreak for iOS 10.2 or respectively firmware tool.
We recommend TaiG jailbreak, because you don’t need to care about Cydia to download AppCake app store. TaiG bundles Cydia installer that is required to add iPhoneCake and install AppCake for free and easiest way without looking to iPA files.

Go 3: Once you successfully included AppCake repository to Cydia. This is the time when you should look AppCake app for iPhone or iPad into iPhoneCake repository. To do this, open Cydia and tap on iPhoneCake repository. There would be couple of apps listed. You need to tap on AppCake and install it.

Go 4: Such as vShare and other popular jailbreak app stores, AppCake also requires “AppSync” Unified version. AppSync Unified 5.5 is the most current and updated Cydia plugin for iOS 10.2. Download and install it from given link.
Warning: Without above specified AppCake plugin, you won’t use this app store at any way. So, if you’ve tried AppCake before which is not working. It means you’re missing AppSync app. Just download and install AppSync first.
