TheSileopackage manager has long carried the stigma of being exclusive to specific jailbreaks – namely those created by CoolStar-led development teams such asChimerafor iOS 12,Odysseyfor iOS & iPadOS 13, andTaurinefor iOS & iPadOS 14.
Third-party ports to permit Cydia and Sileo on the same device have always existed, such as thenow legacy Diatrus installerand themore recent Bingner installer. The Oydssey Team even went as far as to create anOdysseyra1nscript that could turn acheckra1n’d handset into a quasi-Odyssey device with the procursus bootstrap and the Sileo package manager; the latter was especially popular given the length of time it took for an inclusive iOS & iPadOS 14 jailbreak to surface.
As of today, however, it seems that sketchy third-party ports and jailbreak-changing scripts will no longer be necessary. In an announcementsharedthis evening via Twitter by@aarnavtaleand echoed in a Retweet by the official@GetSileoaccount, we learn that Sileo is now officially available even onjailbreaksusing the Bingner/Elucubratus bootstrap – A.K.A. checkra1n and unc0ver:
We should also add that this official Sileo installeris open source on the developer’s GitHub page.
The announcement is particularly huge because it means that more jailbreakers can finally begin using a modern package manager with a drop-dead gorgeous aesthetic that includes nativeDark Modesupport, and that is built primarily using Apple’s performant Swift programming language. It’s worth noting that it comes about a month after the Sileo Teamofficially open sourced its package manager on GitHub.
Installing Sileo on a checkra1n or unc0ver device is as simple as adding a repository to Cydia and installing the necessary packages. Unlike previous ports and Odysseyra1n installations, this installer won’t change anything about your existing Binger/Elucubratus bootstrap, and it’s also officially endorsed by the Sileo Team.
As such, this methodofficially supersedestheprevious Sileo installer technique we shared, as that method of installing Sileois now deprecatedfollowing this release.
If you’re interested in going hands-on with Sileo on your checkra1n or unc0ver device without uninstalling Cydia and all the other Bingner/Elucubratus dependencies you’ve come to know and love on your jailbreak, then this is for you. To get started, you canfollow our step-by-step tutorial.
