How can I browse Cydia repos without an iOS device?
My understanding is that Cydia is a mechanism for accessing third-party software repos on iOS. (The equivalent of Homebrew for macOS.)
However, I am having trouble locating the "default" Cydia repos, and browsing them to see what software is available. How can I do this without an iOS device?
For example, is there an equivalent of the https://f-droid.org (a similar tool + website for Android)?
Solution 1:
Cydia is really a GUI front end for apt, the homebrew equivalent on iOS and many other Linux systems, so a Cydia repo is really an apt repo.
You can use CyDownload to view and download the packages(.deb
s) on your computer.
Some popular repos:
- BigBoss(http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/)
- Packix(https://repo.packix.com/)
- Chariz(https://cydia.hbang.ws)
- Coolstar/Electra(https://electrarepo64.coolstar.org/) (for iOS >= 11)
- Saurik/Cydia(http://apt.saurik.com/) (for iOS <= 10)
