[Feature] Support for a wider range of devices

[ProjWyrd]

Currently the supported device list is rather small being only from iPhone 6s to iPhone 8. And although the readme mentions iOS 10+, it seems only iOS 12+ currently has access to the tweak.

I've also seen a lot of talks surrounding rootful and rootless jailbreaks having the tweak released or not. I'm not entirely sure what's going on there.

Basically all I'm asking is rootful + rootless being supported in the repo and a wider range of devices being "officially" supported, or "recomended" for the tweak.

Rootless is already supported, although i wasn't able to get it to work. Rootfull is in the PR/Pull list so hopefully in a day or 2 it will get pushed.

iPhone 8 with iOS 14.6 installed the repo in Sileo and the tweak/package doesn't show up. Of course navigating to the repo with the browser the package shows up there just fine, but that doesn't help.

I saw the guide said that the minimum iPhone was iPhone 6s, but I figured that was just for the palera1n jailbreak guide. I jailbroke an old iPhone 6 plus running iOS 12.5.7. I am able to see the beepserv package in Cydia, but it says "Your version of iOS is too new for this package. This package works for iOS 10 to 16" which includes my version. I try to run it anyway, but I end up getting an error for architecture mismatch (iphoneos-arm vs iphoneos-arm64). Are you planning on supporting non-arm64 architecture devices?

My gut reaction is that something about the package metadata in the repository is setup wrong. I have the actual recommended HW and it doesn't show up for me.

Edit: one issue is that the repo appears unsigned

E: The repository 'https://apt.beeper.com ./ Release' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I was able to build successfully and install when I removed THEOS_PACKAGE_SCHEME = rootless. However, nothing works after doing so. I can see the files get copied over to their respective locations, but there aren't any logs or a beeper state file.

Can we also have support for 32bit and 64bit iPhones

I have a rooted iPhone 5 on 9.4.1 that I was using for the mautrix-imessage bridge back when it was supported. Any chance that this can be updated to support the iPhone 5 on 9.4.1?

@reese-allison (and anyone else), see my comment here for how I got it working on a rootful jb #1
