How to Jailbreak iOS 8.4 with TaiG on Mac OS X [Guide]

Jailbreak iOS 8.4TaiG is the main jailbreaking tool made available for iOS 8 software. As you probably already know, the TaiG team initially released it for Windows operating systems only. We created a workaround method for those who needed to find a way to jailbreak using Mac thanks to the help from a Virtual Machine. That was far from an official release like we now have here today.

The following guide will teach you how to jailbreak iOS 8.4 on Mac using the official TaiG tool made for Mac. No other links are required.
