Rook · September 15, 2014

The Jailbreak community has worked to help the iOS users by developing something special. After a long struggle they succeeded to develop a Cydia tweak which they give a name of miniCode. With this new Cydia tweak came the power of Xcode to your iPod, iPad and iPhone touch. What is Xcode? It is indeed a software development tool, developed by Apple, it enable iOS users to build all those astonishing App Store apps. And now you can also develop your own app using your iOS device.

There are some limitations, but in fact it is the first mobile IDE that made it possible to compile, write and run iOS apps on his/her iPad, iPod and iPhone. We can’t call it a solid alternative of Desktop app but still using this tool you can code an entire app using your iOS device.

Those who want to learn iOS development can now use this great tool but don’t have a Mac. They can now start iOS development on his/her iPad, iPod and iPhone. Keep it in mind that Mac is still essential to place your developed app on the App Store.

It does not only enables you to develop an app from scratch, but also miniCode allows you to import and export your project among your iOS devices and Mac. Whenever a build fail the miniCode listed you all the errors and warnings. In this way this tweak assists you to fix the problems.
miniCode tweak is totally free on Cydia. Download it and enjoying developing new things using your iOS devices.

Note: You need an SDK for the apps to Build & Run. The SDK should go in /var/stash/Developer/SDKs/. If you already have theos installed, you can simply create a Symlink on that directory with points to your theos SDK so you don't have to have 2 SDK's on one device and take up all those GB.

Go to /var/stash/Developer/SDKs/ using iFile and press 'Edit' then the little '+' icon at the bottom then create a new Symbolic Link like this:

Then open miniCode > Preferences > Default SDK: > and tap on your SDK.
