Pwn20wnd defends Cydia as Sileo Team teases the upcoming release of Sileo 1.0

Hacker as well as unc0ver atomic number 82 developer Pwn20wnd shared simply about reassuring comments alongside the jailbreak community via Twitter Th afternoon, elucidating that Cydia every bit a packet director wasn’t dead as well as that third-party developers also Saurik (such every bit squad unc0ver’s Sam Bingner) tin give the sack soundless maintain it.

If you lot didn’t already know, the Cydia packet director is opened upwards source, which way that anyone tin give the sack sentiment its beginning code and update the software then long every bit they adhere to the license:

Cydia Substrate, on the other hand, is non opened upwards source, as well as judging from Saurik’s Tweetstorm final Friday, it doesn’t seem similar he has whatever intention of open-sourcing it inwards the hereafter due to its complexity, amid other things.

The original takeaway from Pwn20wnd’s Tweets should hold out that land Cydia Substrate in all likelihood won’t hold out updated for A12(X) (and future) devices, squad unc0ver tin give the sack as well as volition soundless maintain the open-source Cydia packet manager.

As we’ve learned from simply about of Pwn20wnd’s previous comments, squad unc0ver volition endeavour to implement amount back upwards for A12(X) devices inwards the hereafter by mode of an updated version of Substitute. This volition effectively permit A12(X) devices that guide hold been jailbroken alongside unc0ver to install as well as run jailbreak tweaks via Sam Bingner’s updated version of Cydia.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, however, there’s no official give-and-take on
when that volition hold out released. All nosotros tin give the sack produce is suggest patience every bit squad unc0ver
works on an official solution for the jailbreak community.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball courtroom is the CoolStar-led Electra Team, which is currently working on the Electra12 jailbreak for iOS 12.0-12.1.2 devices alongside back upwards for Sileo as well as Substitute instead of Cydia as well as Cydia Substrate/Substitute.

CoolStar has his reasons for dropping back upwards for Cydia, namely the fact that it isn’t his projection as well as that he doesn’t experience similar supporting it over his ain locomote (Sileo). But it remains to hold out seen how this volition touching on the jailbreak community, particularly given Sileo’s reputation for deprecating the ways of older repositories similar BigBoss as well as limiting the publish of ads that tin give the sack hold out served.

That aside, the Sileo Team is marching frontwards alongside Sileo’s development. The squad shared a Tweet simply this afternoon teasing that Sileo 1.0 alongside APT 1.8 would hold out available inwards simply “a few days for both iOS eleven as well as 12,” adding that repositories should implement back upwards for SHA256 hashes inwards the meantime:

Optimo of BigBoss has already announced publicly that he has no plans of updating the repository to locomote alongside Sileo, demonstrating his potent partiality to Cydia.

It remains to hold out seen when Electra12 alongside Sileo volition hold out released, but we’ll kicking the bucket along to maintain you lot updated every bit both the Electra Team as well as squad unc0ver post service updates most their work.

Which jailbreak are you lot looking frontwards to the most? Let us
know inwards the comments department below.
