apple-swift-FSMdotCOMAlongside OS X 10.10 Yosemite and iOS 8, probably the biggest announcement today was Apple’s new Programming language, Swift. Craig Federighi said today on stage at WWDC 2014 that Apple is trying to build a language that doesn’t have the “baggage” of Objective-c. The programming language comes from NeXT and has formed the basis of OS X and eventually iOS.

iOSOpenDev Available For Download. Use Xcode To Develop Cydia Packages

The iOSOpenDev project has arrived. iOSOpenDev comes with Xcode templates for creating common types of jailbreak tweaks, including Activator listeners, command line tools, dynamic libraries, Notification Center widgets, SBSettings toggles, Siri AssistantExtensions and Mobile Substrate tweaks. It will even build .deb files of the completed projects for when a developer wants to submit to Cydia for publication.

The only problem is that this first release is still in alpha stage, and ( even the dev says so ) expect a lot of bugs. We can’t even install it. ( Sometimes you need to restart your Mac and everything will work just right ) Still, this is a great project which will allow ( mostly ) newbie devs to materialize great ideas ( hopefully ). Use it wisely…

For more info and download links to iOSOpenDev check out the official website

NOTE:

  • May need to manually install MacPorts – we already had MacPorts installed, still failed.
  • if headers are being dumped than that’ll add 5-10 minutes to the installer.
  • if install fails, run `port selfupdate` then `port -f install dpkg` in Terminal then try again. looks like MacPorts is the problem for most
  • Follow iOSOpenDev on twitter for troubleshooting

This is, at the moment, useful only to developers with a paid account. Buried deep in Apple documentation, and only available on iOS4 Apple now allows developers to install their apps over the air for ad-hoc distribution and/or beta testing. These apps still need a signature, and you have to have a server to host them on. You’ll need to write a little index.html file as well. Follow along:
