  • [News] "XinaA15 is no longer supported by Sileo, as recent changes make it impossible for Sileo to support XinaA15 in a functional manner. Please remove XinaA15 and switch to Fugu15 Max."
    Functionally it is not perfect, it is entirely dependent on cydia.saurik.com being alive. Once that goes down, cydia is dead. Source: about 1 year ago
  • [Help] Cydia 7.1.2 Network Error
    Hi, I have just re-installed Cydia on my iPhone 4 running 7.1.2 for the first time in about a year and it's saying "Unable to Load (The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be cydia.saurik.com which could put your confidential information at risk.". Source: over 1 year ago
  • Free IOS apps
    Https://cydia.saurik.com/ is the only official cydia website. Source: over 2 years ago
  • YouTube ads in Safari: you see them now, will you see them in the future?
    The site you linked to (hxxps://cydia-app.com/) is unofficial, links to piracy and spyware sites, and should not be trusted. The official Cydia site is http://cydia.saurik.com/ but it doesn't include much information about Cydia and jailbreaks. To find out what jailbreaks are available for your device, check the r/Jailbreak wiki. (https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/wiki/ios/canijailbreak). - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
  • Apple Tries Hard to Get Epic to Admit There's Porn on Its Store
    If Apple provided a blessed way to install Cydia[1] without jailbreaking, I would be a customer again in no time. [1]: https://cydia.saurik.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
