Cydia is an open source software installer created by saurik that uses the Debian APT system for package management. It is included with all iPhone Dev Team jailbreaks, and is found in every mainstream jailbreak tool since iOS 2.0.
Some older jailbreak tools install smaller apps (such as Loader.app for greenpois0n or blackra1n.app for blackra1n and limera1n) to download and install Cydia directly on the device instead of having it installed at the same time as jailbreaking, making for a lighter initial download and jailbreak.
Cydia's latest version is 1.1.16 which supports all devices (except Apple TVs) running iOS 2.0 - 8.1.2. The translations package (cydia-lproj
), however, hasn't been updated since 13 June 2014 (1.1.12).
Cydia is a frontend for APT. Cydia comes with pre-installed repos like BigBoss, ModMyi, and ZodTTD/MacCiti. They are independently owed and not run by saurik. Saurik only controls the Cydia/Telesphoreo repo.
