Cydia 1.1.16 Fixes 'Restore From Backup' Issue, Increases Multitask Timeout

Posted November 5, 2014 at 4:30pm by iClarified
Saurik has released an update to Cydia that fixes the 'Restore from Backup' issue which required you to reinstall Cydia Installer after restoring from an iTunes backup.

Here's a look at what's new in Cydia 1.1.16:

iOS 8 "Restore from Backup" Fixed
This update fixes an important bug in Cydia 1.1.14 and 1.1.15 on iOS 8: if you used "restore from backup" in iTunes after your first use of Cydia, you needed to reinstall this package to make sure your device could safely reboot with a passcode enabled.


It should now be OK to use the iTunes "restore from backup" feature without needing to then reinstall Cydia Installer afterward to avoid reboot problems.

Increase iOS 8 Multitask Timeout
Cydia automatically refreshes the package catalog if it was suspended too long. This timeout is now set to 15 minutes. It had previously been only 15 seconds, because that's what I was using to test this feature, and I forgot to change it back. (Doh.)

Improved App Store Redirect Block
The initial version of this feature turned out to only be partially effective: we have done wider testing and have improved our iTunes URL detection.

Login Dialog on iPad Works Now
Apparently, logging in to an account on an iPad would not reload the login dialog, making it seem like you needed to log in again?! This is now fixed.


You can install the updated version of Cydia from the Changes tab in Cydia. As a reminder, the iOS 8.1.1 beta blocks the Pangu jailbreak. If you haven't jailbroken already, please update to iOS 8.1 and follow the instructions on how to jailbreak using the iClarified Jailbreak Wizard.
