Parallels Access crashing on launch (Jailbroken)

On my device (iPad Mini CDMA, 16GB black) which is jailbroken (running iOS 6.1), Parallels Access will not launch. In safe mode (essentially jailbreak disabled), the app launches fine. Now... I have to assume this was done intentionally, given the class:

Code:

+(BOOL)deviceIsJailbroken;

I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish by blocking jailbroken devices, but lots of us have them. I hope you'll reconsider

 

What you mean - not launch? It crashes immediately after launch? Could you provide us crashes?

 

I had a few friends with jailbroken devices test this and it does not seem to be a widespread issue, so I'm going to withdraw my complaint, it seems as though I spoke too soon.
However, XCode's Console provided the following information on the crash

Jailbroken iPad 4 Crash Report

Same problem here. iPad 4, 6.1.1, jailbroken. App will not launch at all and crashes immediately. It will launch in SafeMode however. PerkinsB indicated that he has friends, with a Jalibreak, whom don't have the crashing problem, so I'm thinking it may be a tweak we have installed. Anyone with some type of resolution will be greatly appreciated. This is an awesome app that I want to buy at the end of my trial but not having it play friendly with my Jailbreak is frustrating and fragments the experience.

I haven't seen this on a Jailbroken iPad 2 with iOS 6.1

 

Same problem. iPad 3 64

 

Same issue on iPad 3 64 - I too have a number of tweaks installed. I assumed they programed the client to "not" work with Jailbroken iPads. My jailbreak is more important than Parallels Access at this point so I have uninstalled the app until such time that I hear it works with a JB iPad. I have not tried safe mode yet, but I would assume it will work as others have reported. Would be interested to hear from Parallels as to whether or not they coded the app to not work with Jailbroken iPads, and if so, what was the reason?

 

Just discovered Parallels Access with update to 9. Worked great until I loaded Mavericks on my machines. Now it crashes on load. Not a jail broken iPad, either.
