Interesting, stashing might be the cause of the issues here. I suspect because the Zebra binary is actually stored in a different location inside of /var/stash. Are you able to remove stashing? This might solve the problem. If not I'll have to find some way to reproduce this myself as I don't have a 9.3.5 device handy.

Interesting, can you set the permissions to 6755 and try again?

@wstyres I tried that, still not working. SSH'ing into the device and running that command on the terminal it still prints out CHAOS, CHAOS!

Ah, that explains it. For security reasons, supersling is not meant to be run by anything except for the Zebra binary. You cannot run it from the command line or from a script.

Initial error tho is the same when I try to install PowerApp via Zebra (hence the trying on the command line too)

Does /Applications/Zebra.app/Zebra exist on your filesystem?

@wstyres Yes it does

root# ls -la /Applications/Zebra.app/Zebra
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mobile mobile 66928 Feb  1  2017 /Applications/Zebra.app/Zebra*

Date is a bit bizarre tho..

Cydia seems to install fine tho (which is how I installed Zebra... had to install Stashing before that as well).

@wstyres With stashing uninstalled, I still get the same issue.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need me to try (btw without stashing I can't install much via Cydia due to lack of space)... only a base model iPad Mini 1..

And without stashing installed is the Zebra binary still symlinked? I suspect this is the larger problem but I’m not sure.

@wstyres Zebra seemed to work without Stashing installed... I have to double check if its still symlinked..

809 seems to be an issue with installing due to lack of space.

Alright, I'll have to do some research into symlinking and see how it affects Zebra overall. It could be a simple fix but it also could be more complex.

I think I might have fixed the issue with stashing. I'm not able to verify completely Here its a link to a test deb https://www.dropbox.com/s/oc2mxv97ahelbye/xyz.willy.zebra_1.0.6-1_iphoneos-arm.deb?dl=0 test it out with stashing installed and let me know how it works out.

I have the same issue now but after stashing
I'm going to remove stash and try

Did you try the deb that I linked above? that should fix the stashing issue.

ok I will try it now
" I didnot have attention to the link ^_^"
