what's going on YouTube GSN right here
0:02
CIA was a very important piece of
0:04
software it was the most important
0:06
application you could install after
0:07
jailbreaking your device it's where you
0:09
got your tweaks themes and stuff like
0:11
that so why is it not part of the chill
0:13
braks that are released anymore what
0:15
broke it and what's going on well many
0:17
of you probably still remember cidia it
0:19
looked like this it was a normal package
0:21
manager that allowed you to have
0:22
repositories containing tweaks for iOS
0:25
and you would browse the tweaks inside
0:27
CIA and of course you would install them
0:29
through CIA on your device it's an
0:31
application that is actually beloved by
0:33
a lot of people because it brings back
0:35
Nostalgia and Nostalgia is actually an
0:37
important factor in here nowadays
0:38
jailbreaks like dopamine jailbreak and
0:41
like Pelin which are currently the most
0:43
advanced and the latest jailbreaks
0:45
available don't even include cyia
0:46
anymore they include CIO and zebra CIO
0:49
is indeed a nice alternative to cyia
0:52
it's much more modern built with
0:54
compatibility in mind built with modern
0:56
design language and advanced feature for
0:58
repose and stuff like that it's supports
1:00
payments directly to the repo I'm not
1:02
even going to get into why cilio is in
1:04
fact Superior however people still
1:06
believe that a gilb is not complete
1:08
without CIA many people still believe
1:11
that CIA was an important part and they
1:12
are sad to see it not being included
1:14
anymore so what happened with Syria what
1:16
broke it in iOS 15 that caused it to be
1:19
completely wiped out the lack of Syria
1:21
started to be part of Ruthless chill
1:23
Bricks now ruthless gel bricks are in
1:25
fact a response to a change introduced
1:27
in iOS 15 it's actually about the same
1:30
time when Apple completely destroyed CIA
1:32
and how did they do that well with
1:34
signed system volume security you can
1:36
read more about it in here I'm going to
1:37
link this down below but in a nutshell
1:39
SSV or sence system volume security
1:42
blocks certain paths from being
1:44
available now CDI itself required the
1:47
following paths at least the following
1:49
paths in order to work properly the
1:51
first one on the list is essentially
1:52
where cidia would keep its sources at
1:54
least one of the paths and then you had
1:56
the library Mobile subst Street Dynamic
1:58
libraries this is where all your tweaks
2:00
that you install would be stored then
2:01
you had the applications that's
2:03
essentially where the default iOS
2:05
applications are and CDI would install
2:07
itself there uh then you have the
2:08
library and USR bin these would contain
2:11
various files and binaries that cdia
2:14
would run in the background because as
2:15
you can see CIA is nothing more than
2:18
just a UI it just calls upon other
2:21
programs in the background to do the job
2:23
you want to install something it calls
2:24
upon app and dpkg you want to refresh
2:27
something it calls upon the network AP
2:30
of iOS in order to refresh the data
2:32
stuff like that so it's nothing more
2:33
than just a pretty UI a user interface
2:36
so that you don't have to run a terminal
2:38
command in order to install a Deb file
2:40
as a package or a tweak so it absolutely
2:43
requires access to these paths in order
2:45
to access the binaries in/ bin and USR
2:48
and to access the tweaks that are
2:50
installed and to install tweaks in
2:52
library Mobile substrate so when SSV was
2:55
introduced in iOS 15 it broke CIA
2:58
because all these paths became
3:00
unavailable since SSV makes the system
3:02
partition sealed you cannot write to it
3:05
anymore at least not without triggering
3:07
a major system issue and of course
3:09
causing a bootloop cidia could no longer
3:10
do its job it could no longer write
3:12
files and read files from the paths that
3:14
it needed to which broke CIA completely
3:17
now attempts over the years have been
3:19
made to try to restore CIA but they
3:21
didn't make much of a progress other
3:23
than to just get the UI that you're
3:24
seeing right now working on the phone
3:26
but it couldn't install anything and
3:28
there is really no incentive for people
3:30
to do so because even before Cydia broke
3:33
completely in iOS 15 it was a buggy mess
3:36
it's unfortunate but the creator of
3:38
Cydia J Freeman AKA soric abandoned the
3:41
project abandoned Cydia long before it
3:44
completely broke so by the time iOS 10
3:46
rolled around and even before ruthless
3:48
was even a thing cdia was completely
3:50
broken it was fixed by luuk at Tesco in
3:52
yellow then it was broken again by the
3:55
time iOS 11 came around it was fixed a
3:57
little bit by coolar with Electra and
3:59
then it was fixed Again by uncovered
4:01
team it was only relying on being
4:03
completely patched now and again each
4:05
time a new jailbreak was released the
4:07
CIA would break and of course it would
4:09
require Band-Aid patches that would only
4:11
work for that specific jailbreak and the
4:13
next time a new jailbreak is around it
4:15
would break again we now finally have
4:16
package managers like cilio and zebra
4:19
that are completely updated they don't
4:21
break with every new iOS version they
4:24
are kept Alive by a large team of
4:26
developers and these do actually confirm
4:28
to the new standards like rootless and
4:30
allow repos to work because nowadays
4:32
repos are much more complicated than
4:35
they used to be back in cidia days a
4:37
while ago Cydia stopped completely to
4:39
support paid packages it's when soric
4:41
essentially pulled the plug on it and
4:43
without paid packages you don't have a
4:45
community because developers want to be
4:47
paid so new repos like Havoc repo came
4:50
around and as you can see many tweaks
4:51
that are quite good are paid and the
4:54
payment is actually being handled
4:56
directly by the repo unfortunately this
4:58
kind of repo with this kind of apis for
5:01
payments and stuff like that are not
5:03
supported by CDs so even if we fix the
5:05
SSV issue even if we fix this paths you
5:08
would still not be able to perform any
5:10
proper installations because you can't
5:12
even add this repos anymore CIA doesn't
5:14
know what to do with this repos because
5:16
it was not made to work with this
5:17
Advanced Repose so the new rootless
5:19
jailbreak is not the problem the new
5:21
rootless jailbreak is essentially a fix
5:23
for SSV because many components of the
5:26
jelbreak not only Cydia were broken at
5:28
the time when the these paths became
5:30
unavailable but CIO was updated
5:32
essentially instantly zebra was updated
5:35
essentially instantly because they have
5:36
large teams of developers working on it
5:39
cdia unfortunately has been abandoned
5:41
wear for years by the time it got
5:42
completely nuked in iOS 15 and the
5:45
requirements to fix it would just not be
5:47
worth the time because it's buggy it's
5:50
essentially stuck in iOS 7 days and the
5:52
actual back end of it the actual code
5:54
behind it is a buggy mess so it's very
5:57
very hard to get it to work properly
5:59
especially to get it to work to the
6:01
standards of Celio and zebra but that's
6:03
what broke Cydia that's why you don't
6:05
see it in Jil bricks anymore SSV broke
6:07
it in iOS 15 and then people just didn't
6:09
want to update it anymore cuz it's a
6:11
buggy mess anyway it will break again by
6:13
the time the next iOS rolls around and
6:16
it's just not worth it with two great
6:18
Alternatives that are up to date and
6:20
being developed as we speak so thank you
6:22
for watching I am GSN till the next time
6:24
subscribe to stay updated and peace out
