The Pangu team's release of a jailbreak for iOS 8 / 8.1 was a very pleasant and prompt surprise, but while we commend the work of the Chinese outfit, the response from the wider community has been equally admirable. Saurik, the author and maintainer of Cydia, has been working tirelessly to bring Cydia up to compliance with both Pangu and iOS 8 / 8.1, and having released a major update last week with a number of fixes, has just rolled out version 1.1.16. Full details, changelog and information on how you can avail this latest version of Cydia can be found after the fold.
Google News & Weather has just been handed a sizeable update, and among the usual array of bug fixes and performance enhancements, now includes support for iOS 8's new Notification Center widget feature. Full details, as well as that download link, can be seen below.
The timing of the Pangu8 jailbreak for devices running iOS 8 has meant that those on iOS 8.0 right through to the latest public build of iOS 8.1 can enjoy the freedom of an untethered jailbreak, irrespective of whether they're rocking an iPhone, iPad or fifth-gen iPod touch. Apple has just rolled out a beta of iOS 8.1.1, which applies a number of key fixes and performance enhancements, but in a bit of disappointing news as far as the jailbreak scene is concerned, also appears to have patched some of the exploits that have allowed Pangu8 to reach so many.
The Apple rumor mill is churning again, and this time it's the iPad mini which finds itself caught in the controversy. Reports are coming in that Apple may be looking to ditch the iPad mini lineup of devices in favor of the upcoming larger-screened iPad Pro.
Apple has released iOS 8.1.1 beta 1 download to iOS Dev Center. This is the first pre-release software since iOS 8.1 was released to public in October this year.
The latest installment of Call of Duty is almost upon us once more, and in anticipation of that all-important release, the supplementary companion apps have been released for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Details, as well as download links, can be found after the leap.
Jailbreaking is alive and kicking thanks to the behind the scenes work of the Pangu team, which has now announced via Twitter that version 0.4 of its Pangu 8.0-8.1.x Untether package will be available shortly.
The Pangu Untether package version 0.3 has just been re-released on Cydia. This package was initially released yesterday, mainly for 32-bit devices, to fix overheating and over usage of CPU. But immediately after the release, the package was found to cause booting issues on some 64-bit devices and hence was immediately removed from Cydia.
The Pangu team today released an update to the Pangu 8.0-8.1.x Untether package, pushing the patch to version 0.3, but it was pulled almost immediately because it caused issues on 64-bit devices, such as the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPad mini 2, 3 and iPad Air 1, 2.
The Pangu8 untethered jailbreak has well and truly arrived, with the Chinese team behind the tool having released an updated version featuring English language support and bundling the latest version of Cydia in as standard. Over the past fortnight, authors of some of our most cherished and revered tweaks have been busily adding support for the new iOS 8 / 8.1 software and its accompanying jailbreak, and if you enjoy tinkering with the look and feel of your device's home screen, then one of the best tweaks in the business has just been bumped with support for iOS 8.0 through 8.1.
