Saurik just released an update to Cycript which brings support for iOS 7 and ARM64 device with tons of new features, almost all of which are now documented in the new manual, on the new website. http://www.cycript.org/ 

Cycript is an Objective-C/JavaScript hybrid that provides a live console for injecting into existing applications, either on Mac OS X or iOS. However, while developers are often very interested in the tool, it mostly has only been applicable to development on jailbroken devices.

In the video below, Jay Freeman (saurik) shows off the new version of Cycript that is now fully supported on Mac OS X (all versions from 10.6 through 10.9) and which can easily target the iOS Simulator. Additionally, he explains how this new version of Cycript can be used from Xcode as part of debugging an application “on device”.

Saurik says that the new WinterBoard “seems” compatible with 64bit devices, which means that there might be bugs left and theme creators are encouraged to get involved and report any crashes and bugs.

WinterBoard allows you to give your iOS device a graphical overhaul! It provides hooks that let graphics artists safely and simply theme almost anything in iOS, including third party software downloaded from App Store. Multiple theme packages can be installed at once using the configuration interface: simply drag themes into a priority order.

WinterBoard is available for free in Cydia via Cydia/Telesphoreo repo ( default repo ).

Saurik explains why Cydia for Mac wasn’t released back in December and if it will ever be released.

Back in December, we told you that saurik felt that the same type of store that you find on jailbroken iOS devices, would be useful for Mac OS X devices. The result would be a Mac Cydia, which, at the time, was supposed to be available ‘within weeks’ .

A couple of days later saurik announced that he created a new version of MobileSubstrate which it called, simply, “CydiaSubstrate.” This new version can run on both iOS as well as Mac OS X on the desktop. ”

Saurik Drops Cydia 1.1

The new build brings overall speed improvement, multiple language support. Since Cydia doesn’t supports true multitasking, the new build adds a new feature that allows you to resume where you last left off.

Just a quick heads-up: Saurik finally dropped Cydia 1.1 . The new build brings overall speed improvement, multiple language support. Since Cydia doesn’t support true multitasking, the new build adds a new feature that allows you to resume where you last left off. It also seems to us, that some repos, such as BigBoss was optimized for Cydia 1.1. To update to Cydia 1.1 just load it and do a complete upgrade.
