Sileo

Check out the latest news and tutorials about Sileo, a refined package manager app that can be installed on jailbroken iPhones and iPads to browse repositories and find jailbreak tweaks and themes.

Much of the jailbreak community’s attention has shifted toward the new checkra1n jailbreak in recent months given just how powerful of an exploit it takes advantage of. The jailbreak is still in its public beta stages today, and its software loader only installs the Cydia package manager out of the box. But could that soon change?

What’s more is the release will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the day the first beta of the Sileo package manager project became available for testing:

Sileo v1.5.2 now available with iOS 13-centric improvements

Despite the recent and controversial announcement that Sileo’s development had been ‘suspended until further notice,’ project lead developer CoolStar appears to have since overturned that declaration. Thursday evening, CoolStar announced a second update to the alternative package manager since that announcement, formally bringing it up to version 1.5.2.

Surprisingly, the official @GetSileo Twitter page didn’t make mention of the latest Sileo update, but it’s worth noting that CoolStar posted a memo about it not too long ago in his official Discord channel:

The Electra Team’s Chimera and Electra jailbreak tools have long utilized Substitute for native tweak injection, but it now seems that this could be on the verge of changing.

CoolStar says Sileo development is ‘suspended until further notice’

Electra Team lead developer CoolStar took to Discord just this past week with a rather unfortunate update for Chimera and Electra jailbreak users: development on the platforms’ proprietary Sileo package manager has been suspended “until further notice.”
