What is it?

ExchangePolicyCleaner is an iOS tweak that ignores Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync policies.

http://moreinfo.thebigboss.org/moreinfo/depiction.php?file=exchangepolicycleanerDp

How do I build it?

ExchangePolicyCleaner uses the Theos Makefile system:

git clone git://github.com/joedj/ExchangePolicyCleaner.git
cd ExchangePolicyCleaner
ln -s $THEOS theos
THEOS_DEVICE_IP=1.2.3.4 make package install

Gotchas

• Changes will not take effect until you refresh your EAS policy, e.g. by disabling then re-enabling your Exchange account. You can also do this using cycript:

#!/usr/bin/env cycript -p dataaccessd

(function() {
    for each (var a in DAAccountManager.sharedInstance.accounts) {
        if ([a.policyManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestPolicyUpdate)]) {
            [a.policyManager requestPolicyUpdate];
        }
    }
})()

But I'd rather use cycript

Instead of using this MobileSubstrate tweak, you can apply an ephemeral hook to -[ASWBXMLPolicy _cleanUpPolicyData:] using cycript:

#!/usr/bin/env cycript -p dataaccessd

if (typeof(original_ASWBXMLPolicy_cleanUpPolicyData) == 'undefined') {
    original_ASWBXMLPolicy_cleanUpPolicyData = ASWBXMLPolicy.messages['_cleanUpPolicyData:'];
}

ASWBXMLPolicy.messages['_cleanUpPolicyData:'] = function(policy) {
    [policy removeAllObjects];
    original_ASWBXMLPolicy_cleanUpPolicyData.call(this, policy);
}

What does an Exchange ActiveSync policy look like?

Here is an example policy as passed to the -[ASWBXMLPolicy _cleanUpPolicyData:] method:

    ASPolicyType = ASWBXMLPolicyType;
    AllowBluetooth = 2;
    AllowBrowser = 1;
