Requirements:

  • To install XBMC for iOS you must have a jailbroken iDevice running iOS 4.x with Cydia. iOS 5 support is experimental.
  • For hardware: iPad 1, iPhone 3Gs, iPod touch 3rd gen (16GB and 32GB models only), and later are supported. iPhone 4S and iPad 2 with iOS 5 currently have no jailbreak. iPad 2 will work iOS 4.x.


Notice: XBMC on iOS is a work in progress. The available versions are the Cydia build and the latest nightly build. The Cydia build installs an older version of XBMC and anything else XBMC needs to run. The latest nightly contains the most recent XBMC code and is created daily by an automated build bot. First install the Cydia build then install the nightly build. Do not use the Cydia build without updating to the nightly builds as it is no longer supported.


Installing from Cydia

1. Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.

8. After the install finishes, close Cydia and open an SSH application (on the iOS device or on a computer) to install the latest nightly build:

Installing the latest nightly build

Change history: trac timeline or commit history

NOTE: You MUST install the Cydia version before you can install a nightly build. You only need to install the Cydia version once and you don't need to uninstall previous versions to upgrade (or downgrade) XBMC.

  1. Open http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/ in a web browser and copy the url of the most recent file in that listing. For example it will look something like:
    http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
  2. Open up your terminal/ssh application and enter the following commands:
    Note: it is possible to run a terminal application from an iPhone/iPod/iPad, meaning you can install/upgrade without a computer. Instructions for this, as well as GUI alternatives, are coming later
    ssh [email protected]
  3. You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
  4. Continue to enter the following commands: 
    rm -f xbmc*.deb
    curl -O -L URL-FROM-STEP-1-HERE or wget URL-FROM-STEP-1-HERE
    dpkg -i xbmc*.deb
    rm xbmc*.deb
  5. You should now have the latest nightly build of XBMC for iOS.
