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: commit history
  1. Install iFile from Cydia.
  2. In Mobile Safari (or any browser that can download files) open http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/ in a web browser and tap the url of the most recent file in that listing.
    EXAMPLE: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/ios/xbmc-20111202-6729214-master-ios.deb
  3. 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.
  4. Select "Open in..."
  5. Select iFile from the available apps
  6. 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.
  7. In iFile, swipe to delete the downloaded XBMC deb file as it is no longer needed.

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

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/
