Updating
Updates for stable releases of XBMC are handled by Cydia and will show up in the "Changes" section when available.
Development and custom builds
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR USERDATA FOLDER WHEN USING NIGHTLY BUILDS!
Build | Description | URL |
---|---|---|
Nightly build | Nightly builds are unstable test builds that have the latest bug fixes and feature additions. They are not fully tested, so anticipate issues and be sure to backup your userdata folder | Download the newest .deb file from: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/ |
Monthly build | Monthly builds are more stable than nightly builds, but still contain lots of experimental new code. | Download the newest .deb file from: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/darwin/ios/ |
Betas and release candidates | Betas and release candidates are builds that are being tested to see if they have any bugs left before becoming a stable release. Most major bugs should be fixed in these builds. | Download the newest .deb file from: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/pre-release/ios/deb/ |
- Install iFile from Cydia if you don't already have it.
- In Mobile Safari (or any browser that can download files) open the
.deb
file you wish to install, such as from the locations noted above.- EXAMPLE:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
- EXAMPLE:
- Wait for the download to complete.
- Note: Mobile Safari in iOS 7 won't show the progress bar for downloads, but it will show a loading icon in the menu bar. Just wait a few minutes until the download is done, but don't close Safari.
- 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 XBMC deb file as it is no longer needed.
See here to verify your XBMC version.
Uninstalling
Uninstalling just XBMC
You're all done. XBMC will now be uninstalled from your iDevice. If you want you can also uninstall XBMC-IconPack using the same method.
Removing settings
XBMC 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
rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/
- Or
- From iFile
Delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/
