Well well everyone! Here we go! This is the first of tonight’s announcements. Today we are going to introduce our first application for Mac OS X and we call it, s1lv3r!
Now, s1lv3r is more for Cydia developers. s1lv3r is an application that makes signing with ldid, installing the app onto your iPhone, and getting your apps ready for submission to your respective Cydia repo, an all-in-one, 1-click solution!
We have been working on s1lv3r for a long time now. We thought, “man, signing apps, having to install them on your iPhone, and then having to do this repeatedly is such a long and unnecessaryly long process”. So we got to work. Brandon coded 99.99% of this entire application, and pushed this entire project along. I think he did an amazing job.
Now, s1lv3r will automate using ldid (signing method required for apps to run and be accepted on Cydia), and I said this app was more for developers, so you won’t have to SSH the app onto the phone, open MobileTerminal, su root and log in, ldid -S and a long path, then test, SSH it out, and ugh! Just a huge hastle. s1lv3r just works.
So s1lv3r can both sign your app, and it can SSH it into your iPhone or iPod touch if you wanted to, along with either a reboot/respring to make the app appear.
This app is also wrapped around a good looking GUI, that I created, that will make it all easy to use.
Now, Brandon has created a nice installer so even installing s1lv3r and it’s many contents is as simple as possible.
s1lv3r will be available for free to everyone who wants it! We will be launching s1lv3r on Monday, January 25, 2010! That’s a week from now. So set your calendars! Also, check out our other Press Release on SocialMe, our latest application for the iPhone!




So this just mac ‘ when for windows?
Given the bare facts that most iPhone developing is done on Xcode which is osx only, I’m not to sure if there’s a point in a windows version
Brandon: I was waiting for someone to state the obvious, it looked like you were gonna say what I wanted him to hear, but I guess not, lol.
Aidensdaddy: Look, the honest to god answer is, Windows is garbage. Pure garbage. It’s trash to use, and we’re sure as hell that it’s a bitch to develop anything on. It has nothing like XCode. No solid, useful, helpful SDK to use. No developer tools that as grounded and easy to use. It would be a nightmare.
Also, adding to what Brandon was saying, the iPhone SDK is Mac OS X only. This is purely for developers who are developing Cydia and Cydia Store applications.
The only “point” I could see is if you were a beta tester, given an unsigned application. However, this is unlikely. We sign our betas so all the tester has to do is SSH and respring.
Yea but I wasn’t in the mood to verbably bass windows for the 10th time today
good job guys! i want it
well its almost here just a tad few more touchups and im done
Hey guys! It’s going live very soon. Stay tuned…
