Homebrew [Release] FBI Companion - CIA network installation for iOS

[jackb994]

... No I did not. I didn't know that was something I had to do. I'll try it.

That's something Cydia normally does when installing anything just run in terminal or ssh uicache. And I don't think installing with an iPa needs to refresh uicache so it maybe just that

It shows up on the home screen and the app functions but files aren't saved. Normally, files get saved to the app's Documents folder. I think I will have to modify the app to handle saving files to a specific folder. I'll work on it.

Correction: No sane person uses iPhone.

Kidding aside good work, but even I find it weird something hacky like this got through out and made for iPhone which does not even let you still download files from internet AFAIK, than Android which is paragon for (mostly) open file system. Oh well, android devs are sleeping, post iPhone apps I guess.

I want to sleep, but I suffer insomnia. https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-socketpunch-fbi-network-cia-installer-for-android-pc.412174/

You can download files and then open them in supported apps, like this one.

I can wait for the fix on the iPad! This is great work, saves a lot of time. Thanks for making this!

 

[Dracari]

any word on that iOS 7.XX Version @CompC ?

 

[xtheman]

I'm sure that if you get one of those free developer accounts on your mac you can install it without appsync.

FBI Companion will let you send CIA files stored locally to FBI via the network install feature. You can open files from Safari, Mail, or any other app that supports opening files in other apps to install a CIA file. You can also use iTunes to save a CIA file from your computer to FBI Companion to install later, or copy CIAs already saved in FBI Companion.

Your iPhone and 3DS must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can also use your phone as a hotspot and send CIAs that way.

This is still a work in progress! Currently the app crashes when opened on iPad, and crashes if the connection is lost while installing a CIA. There are probably other issues too. Let me know about any bugs you encounter! I plan on making this better as I learn more about Objective-C and programming for iOS. It might not be as snazzy as SocketPunch, but for my first iOS app, I like how it turned out!

Google's J2ObjC was used to translate Java code to Objective-C for parts of this app, and the app uses MBProgressHUD to give progress notifications about the file transfer.

Download

• Currently, to install, you need to have a jailbroken iPhone, with AppSync installed, and a way to install IPA files. There will be other methods of installation in the future. The source code will also be released later.

nice work! Problem is i don't use iphone :/ is it possible if you can make one for Windows Phone 10?

It should be when windows phone 10 jailbreak is out.

 

[Zech]

it's already out and also you can simply sideload an app with windows phone 10 without jailbreaking

Oh. I haven't use the windows phone (and likely never will)

stroll along. Like i want to know

 

[smileyhead]

this looks sweet, but i have an android so i can't use it but I would love to

You can try the Android version from Socket Punch. Still a WIP, too, and doesn't look as good as this, but it works: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-socketpunch-gui-mod.412174/

 

[osm70]

You should use Enterprise for this.

 

[drewby]

TestFlight is handy if you wanna use that.

 

[Ketchup901]

I think it's set to iOS 8 as a minimum right now, but it should be fine on iOS 7. I'll upload a new version in a bit that can run on iOS 7.

It does not work in iOS 7.
