Some updates regarding CarBridge: I know I’ve been pretty quiet about it and it’s been over a year since I started on this but I figured it’s time to shed some light on where I’m at with this thing.

Initially I was going to release it on the Cydia Store after the next major jailbreak was released (when yalu was the latest). The 10.3 jailbreaks came out and very shortly after so did 11.x. I figured I might as well wait for iOS 11 purchases to be enabled since the 10.3 and 11 releases came out so close to each other and 10.3 purchases were enabled pretty quickly. Apparently it was foolish of me to think that 11.x purchases were going to be enabled seeing as we are a couple of months into this and I’ve been informed by BigBoss that they are no longer accepting any paid tweaks regardless of version compatibility, as they believe commercial products are 100% dead. As they are the only default/Cydia Store repo left there are no longer any options to register new products with the Cydia Store.

So plan B is to host the tweak on Chariz. For those unaware, Chariz is an alternative platform to buy tweaks using Cydia (more info: https://chariz.io/ ). I’ve spoken to the main guy behind Chariz and they are currently preparing themselves to accept more sellers. The ETA I’ve been given until they are ready is “a few weeks” unless shit hits the fan (from what I infer). Once they are ready for me I’ll finally be able to release CarBridge to the public as I’m pretty much done with development unless I find any catastrophic bugs.

For now, CarBridge is still in the mysterious beta that it’s been in for the last year, available to /r/tweakbounty contributors. I really wish it hadn’t taken this long but I’m going to make sure that this does happen.

With that said: On Friday I’m going to release the iOS 11 update for CarBridge to bounty contributors that I was previously holding back. It’s been long enough.

Thank you to everybody who has supported me in any way this far.
