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.
