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 (e.g Star) 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 download and jailbreak.
Latest Version
- 1.1.16 for all devices iOS 2.0 - 8.1.1.
- There is no version for Apple TV.
