General What happened to the Cydia Alternative "iMods"?

Rook · July 3, 2015

I remember a few months ago reading about this Cydia alternative called "iMods" and I was impressed. It's nice to see something new, some changes since Cydia has visually been the same ever since my first Jailbreak. I would have definitely given it a try.

They made an official teaser for it here:

iTwe4kz also reviewed the app:

Ever since then, I have heard nothing about it. Has it been discontinued or something?

This is what Saurik said about iMods:

I am not “just a storefront”. However, if you compete with me on the storefront, you not only indirectly affect my interest to keep working in the community, but you directly affect my ability to spend time doing so… Because if you are, you aren’t just picking a fight, you are walking into one you can’t win: where on the one side is losing quickly, and the other side is still losing, it’s just losing a little bit later, after the infrastructure you are relying on crumbles and key parts of the developer and support community (first- and third- party) disappear.
