Cydia.app

Summary

The icon (icon@2x.png) for Cydia.app in retina display

Cydia is an open source application installer created by Saurik that uses the Debian APT system for package management. It is included with all iPhone Dev Team jailbreaks, and is found in every mainstream jailbreak tool (e.g redsn0w, limera1n, blackra1n, PwnageTool, sn0wbreeze, greenpois0n, Spirit, Star) since iOS 2.0. However, some jailbreak tools install lighter apps (such as Loader.app (greenpois0n) or blackra1n.app (blackra1n and limera1n) to download and install Cydia directly on the device, instead of having it installed at the same time as jailbreaking, making for a lighter download and jailbreak.

Latest Version

• 1.0.3366.1 public repo
• 1.0.3366.7 in cache

Note: The difference between the two is a bug fix when dealing with packages from unknown sources (e.g packages from developers for beta testing and that have been rejected like SpringLock).
