So I've had the chance to examine the 1.1.3 firmware on a deeper level (using a technique not developed by me and which I can't release so don't ask) and have noticed some interesting changes behind the scenes that are quite blogworthy:
- SpringBoard no longer needs to be modified (via SummerBoard) in order to show extra applications in the /Applications folder.
- All applications now run as the user 'mobile' instead of as root.
- Preferences are now stored in /var/mobile rather than in /var/root.
What does this all mean? I'll tell you what it means.
The iPhone 1.1.3 firmware is ready for official installable applications.
Even though there are no applications available for purchase (besides the iPod Touch's $20 "upgrade package"), the installation architecture appears to be there already.
It also appears that the frameworks have undergone many changes, ostensibly to make it easier for official...

Just a quick note to say that a minor update to our Mac OS X application,
InstallerApp is now out. Version 1.0.3 fixes a problem that caused some repositories be unaccessible. Download
here.
Icy update is also in the pipeline, but is taking a little longer than anticipated, so expect it either this weekend or sometime early next week. :)
Cheers!

We have just released a free update to our package installer tool,
InstallerApp, for both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. Among other things, we have ensured it works on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, removed support for Installer repositories (that are no longer supported anyway), and stripped off the Pusher technology in favor of the existing jailbreak solutions such as
PwnageTool and
redsn0w. To install stuff onto the iPhone, simply install package named InstallerApp Support from Cydia or Icy on the device (from our repository
apt.ripdev.com) and there you go!
As a result, InstallerApp is now 1.2 Mb (or 4.2 for Microsoft Windows) as opposed to 17 Mb before.
Enjoy.
