And you're done! You should now be running {{current version}} for iOS. See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.

=== Updating ===
Updates for stable releases of {{kodi}} are handled by Cydia and will show up in the 'Changes' section when available. (After updating the sources)

=== Uninstalling ===
==== Uninstalling just XBMC/Kodi ====
<gallery widths=225px heights=338px>
File:cydia_.PNG|'''Step 1:''' Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.
File:Install1_.PNG|'''Step 2:''' Tap 'Installed' from the bottom of the Cydia menu and then tap Packages
File:KODIinlist_.PNG|'''Step 3:''' Find and tap {{kodi}} in the list of installed packages.

</gallery>

You're all done.

==== Removing settings ====
{{kodi}} will uninstall from your iDevice but will leave certain things ([[databases]] and everything in your [[userdata folder]]) behind to make it easier if you wanted to reinstall. To delete those:

;From the terminal, run:
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/</pre>
<pre>rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/</pre>

;Or

;From iFile:
Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/

Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/

# Select '''"Open in..."'''
# Select '''iFile''' from the available apps
# iFile will get a copy of the downloaded file and open an action menu. Select '''install'''. When iFile is complete you can tap '''done''' at the top.
# In iFile, swipe to delete the downloaded {{kodi}} deb file as it is no longer needed.

See [[IOS FAQ#XBMC Version|here]] to verify your {{kodi}} version.

{{note|To go back to a stable version of {{kodi}} you might need to first uninstall {{kodi}} and then use the normal install instructions, or manually download the stable release deb file and install using the dev build instructions.}}

*You will need to [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html/ Download 7-zip] and install it in your PC
