I still havent been approved for the official SDK distribution. If anyone has an approval for a $99 developers license, and is not planning to use it, I am offering $250 to purchase it off you. I don’t care if you have paid the $99 already or not. Please contact me if you’re interested.

Update: Apple opened this up and I got mine now.

Toolchain is the name of the compiler used for all the apps you see today for the iPhone. Historically, it has been very difficult to setup and get working often requiring several days of work. iPhone developer Saurik has created a version of the toolchain that runs directly on the iPhone.  I have taken his toolchain which consists of his ported GCC and odcctools,  and added my headers from the Cygwin toolchain that I use to compile my apps. Together, this brings you a one-click compilation environment that runs directly from the iPhone!

Here are the steps to install and start compiling your apps:

1) Install Cydia
2)  Install “iPhone 1.1.1 Headers”
3) Copy your apps source code to /tmp or such with ssh and type “make”.

Works for all apps for 1.0.2 - 1.1.4. Will be updated for 2.0 after July 11th.

Here is a sample makefile (this is for BossTool obviously).

Enjoy!

Note: there are no Apple SDK headers present in any of these packages.

What a fun app to describe! It’s fscking awesome! Ok, the app is iBrainfsck but we all know the real name :) This is actually an obscure, but fscking fun development language. Go take a look at the wiki page. Get it in the repository.

The dev-team released the OSX version of the pwnage tool.

From the dev-team’s site:

The “DevTeam” would like to announce the release of the OS X version of the PwnageTool application.

The team (and especially Wizdaz) have been working hard to bring you this release in as short a time as possible.

The plan (4 weeks ago) was to release a Mac tool only. This was decided because of the lack of reliable Mac filesystem tools on Windows, and the fact that the task of porting them would be too time consuming.

With that in mind the genius that is “cmw” stepped up to the plate and offered his services to the DevTeam. He proposed to provide a tool that would give the same functionality and User Interface as the Mac tool.

cmw has done an almost unthinkable task and ported the almost complete Pwnage Tool to Windows in a little under a week, and we would like to thank him for this unbelievable work. He is currently in the final test stages and hopefully this should be finished within the next 24 hours (but even he needs sleep and family time occasionally!) We’ll post a link as soon as the testing has finished.

Windows version due shortly, guide will be added later. Download from here.

I wrote a Respring app of my own and put it in installer. This one will do the fast respring for 1.1.3 and newer - the one that doesn’t lock springboard.  This is probably useful for developers or theme writers. For me, I put the icon inside BossPrefs on the dock and hid it from springboard. The app is in our repository.

Added a BossPrefs usage guide to show how to make your own toggle plug-ins. See it here in the guides section.
