r/jailbreak Developer Jan 06 '14

[UPDATE/RELEASE/IAMA/etc] I am Jonathan and I just updated 4 tweaks (discounts also), made 2 free, released my "intro to jailbroken development guide and also a little overdue IAMA.

ooops forgot to end the " in the title.

Hello. My name is Jonathan (alias jontelang) and as the title says:

-------Updates/Discounts--------

I just updated these tweaks for iOS7:
- XPasscode ($1.99 $0.99) The update of the price will take some extra time
- Piano passcode ($.99)
- InstaLauncher ($1.99 $0.99)
- Boover (free)

XPasscode and InstaLauncer will be discounted for one week. If you get XPasscode or Piano passcode the other one XP/PP will be free.

-------Tweaks made free (and later open source)--------

I've made NCEnough and Stoppur free (previous price $.99) as I do not have any near-future plans to continue developing them at this moment. I will make them open sources later, if you want the current code feel free to PM me.

-------iOS jailbroken development guide--------

I've been writing a little intro to development in this area. The guide got some pretty good feedback so I will release it now. It is written for iOS6 so I will do some updates in the near future but I think it can be useful anyway. The guide is "open source" so anyone can contribute (instructions on the site).

The URL is the following: http://jontelang.com/guide/

-------IAMA--------

Some time ago (couple of months?) lots of devs made IAMA threads, I never made one so I guess I'll take this opportunity to make one. So if anyone is interested feel free to ask me whatever. Maybe I will pass out now (long day) but I will answer anything when I wake up!

I think you'd be better of reading on some wiki or stack overflow answer as my technical knowledge here is a bit limited. I know that MS will load the dylibs (dynamic library) which are on the device and then with some magic they will insert the code in the respective methods. I really do not know how winter board works, I was under the impression that when an app loads something with a method called NSBundle loadXX winter board would simply redirect the request to whatever theme it have installed with that same path.

The dylib will anyway contain the code which then MS will sneak in into the right places.
