The jamming problems occured mostly in cold air at high altitudes with the very first versions of the Spitfire (Ib, IIb) and were later solved by sending exhaust gases through the wings to heat up the cannons.

True! By the Mark V version of the Hispano the autojammers were removed because the cannons were extremely reliable by that point as well. Obviously confidence improved as the cannons were refined.
