There are two ways to try out the new XBMC v12 (Frodo) RC:
 
*One is to add the "pre-release" Cydia repository, which will allow you to update to future Betas and Release Candidates through Cydia. Just repeat the steps on [[#Installing from Cydia]], but replace Step 3's url with {{highlight|http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/pre-release/ios/ }}
*The other is to use the [[#Nightly builds]] instructions, but with the url in step 1 replaced with {{highlight|http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/pre-release/ios/deb/ }}.
 
To revert back to stable release repo you should remove the Pre-release repository in Cydia.

Updating

Updates for stable releases of XBMC are handled by Cydia and will show up in the "Changes" section when available.

Development builds

Main page: Development builds

Nightly builds

Main page: nightly builds

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.

Installing from the command line
Change history: trac timeline or commit history

NOTE: You MUST install the stable version before you can install a nightly build. You only need to install the stable 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.
    EXAMPLE: 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: 
    ssh [email protected]
    EXAMPLE: 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
    EXAMPLE: curl -O -L http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
    dpkg -i xbmc*.deb
    rm xbmc*.deb

And you're done! You should now have the latest nightly build of XBMC for iOS. See here to verify your XBMC version.


Monthly builds

To install a semi-stable monthly build, follow the nightly build instructions above, but replace the url in step 1 with http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/darwin/ios/

Installing from the iOS GUI

Opening a downloaded deb file (from Safari, for example) using iFile from Cydia, will also allow for installation.

Uninstalling

Uninstalling just XBMC

  • Step 1: Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.

    Step 1: Tap the Cydia icon on your homescreen.

    Step 4: Tap on Modify in the top right and then choose Remove from the pop up menu.
    Step 5: Let XBMC uninstall and then press Return to Cydia.

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/
