Dev:Theos/Setup/iOS

This page is for setting up Theos on an iOS Device. For other platforms see Theos/Setup.

Mandatory Requirements

 * A jailbroken iOS device with Cydia (or another package manager) installed.

Optional Requirements

 * Knowledge on how to use a command line terminal.
 * Objective C knowledge.
 * OpenSSH installed on your device and a computer that you can SSH into your device with (using MobileTerminal gets tedious pretty quickly).

Installing Theos and it's dependencies
The output should be:
 * 1) Add the following repositories to your Cydia sources.
 * 2) * http://coolstar.org/publicrepo
 * 3) * http://nix.howett.net/theos
 * 4) Install the following packages in Cydia:
 * 5) Check that Theos is installed on your device by running: echo $THEOS
 * 1) Check that Theos is installed on your device by running: echo $THEOS
 * 1) Check that Theos is installed on your device by running: echo $THEOS
 * 1) Check that Theos is installed on your device by running: echo $THEOS

Setting up the iOS SDK
Navigate to http://iphone.howett.net/sdks and check which iOS SDK you wish to download.


 * 1) Create a directory for the SDK to be placed in: mkdir -p $THEOS/sdks
 * 2) Download the SDK temporarily and extract to the SDK directory: curl -ksL "http://iphone.howett.net/sdks/dl/iPhoneOSX.Y.sdk.tbz2" | tar -xj -C $THEOS/sdks  X.Y being the version numbers of the SDK, as seen in http://iphone.howett.net/sdks.

Additional Step for 64 bit (ARM64) Devices
With the current version of Theos (0.9.639-1), building on ARM64 will throw an error. The following will solve this issue.


 * 1) Create symlinks to support ARM64: ln -s $THEOS/makefiles/platform/Darwin-arm.mk $THEOS/makefiles/platform/Darwin-arm64.mk&#10;ln -s $THEOS/makefiles/targets/Darwin-arm $THEOS/makefiles/targets/Darwin-arm64
