Hello from a brand new (sandboxed for now) version of Installer 5.1 on iOS 16.

After a hiatus we’re back working on Installer. New information, builds and features soon! Make sure to follow for more information.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@daemonspudguy But it’s always good to hear people enjoyed Installer! We are ready to support a new jailbreak when it drops, and have some cool plans for when/if that happens.

Thank you for your support :-)

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

AppTapp is releasing an extensive iOS Jailbreak Repository Archival/Crawler tool tomorrow.

it allows backing up packages from APT/Cydia, Installer 4, & Installer 3 repositories, either individually or all packages.

Over the last few years, many essential repositories

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@daemonspudguy We haven’t gone away for sure! Still working on several projects, some related to jailbreaking, some related to aviation, some to mycology. In the future we hope to continue work on Installer 5.1, but the tiny jailbreak scene at the moment makes it not worth the effort sadly.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

The iOS Jailbreak Repository Crawler for Cydia, Installer 3 & 4 repositories has been released, see linked tweet

Please read the release notes carefully.

The MacOS Jailbreak Repository Crawler for APT (Cydia), Installer 3 & Installer 4 repositories will be released later today.

Allows archiving locally or uploading to a centralised archival repository, along with several other important features.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@nzhaonan Thank you for your suggestion, we have implemented this feature. If you have any other suggestions, critique or ideas, please do let us know :-)

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@nzhaonan yet exists, and skip it if it does. That is a rather good idea which we will implement. However the tool should, in our opinion, still allow for localisation archival.

Happy to hear your opinion further!

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@nzhaonan this repository and many of it’s packages have been considered ‘lost’. There are many such repo’s which at the moment are still online, but may disappear, even for Installer 2 & 3

We could look at allowing this tool to download to a centralised repository, if the package doesn’t

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

longer online, please send @SamGuichelaar a message, in order to contribute to a large archive of jailbreak tools that are no longer available at their original location.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

Follow @SamGuichelaar for more details and the beta release tomorrow. As this tool is trying to support 3 different repository architectures that have seen several evolutions over the past 20 years, some bugs are possible. We'd appreciate users to report them.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

This project is part of a larger project mainly aimed at archiving and preserving access to legacy jailbreak packages, tools, source code and servers, and more will be announced in the coming weeks. Should anyone have a backup of a Cydia/APT or Installer 3/4 repository that is no

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

but for average users this process was difficult.

To prevent misusage, a very few repositories such as BigBoss, which are currently operating & maintained, are blacklisted, as to prevent unnecessary traffic increase. This tool's intended usage is for archival purposes.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

have (suddenly) gone down, meaning people permanently lost access to packages they relied on.

This tool allows anyone to easily download the packages (or entire repository) they need for local backup via a simple MacOS GUI.

For bad actors, this was already possible through CLI

[Sam Guichelaar @SamGuichelaar]

Installer 5.1 compiled on MacOS 26 (catalyst).

Just compiled straight, as a proof of concept and to see what Installer’s UI & UX on MacOS is.

It will need rethinking in several areas for it to make it a MacOS package manager rather than an iOS app running on MacOS.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@metruzanca @Robbie_Gibbs Sort of — but then fully focused on general users instead of developers/people with a higher level of technical experience.

Pretty much Cydia for MacOS with a UI/UX akin to the Mac AppStore, depictions, ratings, newly released & featured packages, etc.

Just with repositories.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

With jailbreaking being in it’s current state and no expectation of a significant revival soon, we’d like to know if there’s any interest in a package manager for MacOS.

At the moment, a pre-release injection engine is being developed (and currently in beta) by a developer.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@metruzanca apps, but also system tools, developer tools, and more for iOS. The idea for MacOS would be the same.

[AppTappTeam @AppTappSoftware]

@metruzanca Our package manager for iOS is an alternative to Cydia, which itself was an alternative to the AppStore, however it has no restriction in what can be added. People can create their own source to host their own products, or use existing hosts. As such, people can download user
