| Would you pay again for iOS 7 versions of apps you already own? Posted: 21 Jul 2013 06:31 PM PDT
In a few months, Apple will release the largest update to its mobile operating system since the original iPhone debuted in 2007: iOS 7. The software has been virtually rebuilt from the ground-up, with new features and an all-new user interface. Because this new version of iOS is so different than its predecessor, developers will have to spend a serious amount of time bringing their app code and UI elements up to speed. The question is, should they charge users for these major updates?(...) "Would you pay again for iOS 7 versions of apps you already own?" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Apple developer site hacked, some info may have been exposed Posted: 21 Jul 2013 04:14 PM PDT
On Friday, we noted that Apple’s developer center—where it hosts downloads, documentation and other resources—had been down for a record 48 hours. Well here it is Sunday, and the dev portal appears to still be out of commission. At first, the company was mum on the outage, saying only that it was sorry that “maintenance was taking longer than expected,” and that it would make up for the lost time. But today, it broke the silence, announcing it has been hacked…(...) "Apple developer site hacked, some info may have been exposed" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Saurik posts exploit and fix for ‘Master Key’ Android vulnerability Posted: 21 Jul 2013 03:08 PM PDT
Jay Freeman, also known as Saurik, is well known by iOS users for his work in the jailbreak community. Not only does he run Cydia, the definitive jailbreak store, but he also develops tweaks and handles a number of other aspects. But Saurik is also making a name for himself among Android users as well. Back in May, he released a working form of his Cydia substrate for Google’s platform, and this weekend he’s posted a fix for a major security vulnerability…(...)

| Over 700 million phones could be vulnerable to SIM card flaw Posted: 21 Jul 2013 01:14 PM PDT
A German security researcher has discovered a massive vulnerability—one of the first of its kind—in the encryption used by some mobile SIM cards that could potentially allow hackers to remotely take control of their host handsets. According to a report by The New York Times, the flaw relates to cards using DES (Data Encryption Standard)—an older standard that’s being phased out by a number of manufacturers, but is still used by hundreds of millions of SIMs…(...)

| Screen recording app xRec hits App Store, works on non-jailbroken devices Posted: 21 Jul 2013 12:44 PM PDT
Capturing a video of whatever is on the screen of your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad in real-time normally requires a jailbroken device and one of useful Cydia apps such as ScreenRecorder or Display Recorder by Ryan Petrich. Official App Store solutions are unfortunately far and few between. And even when such an app does slip past the App Store approval team, it’s only briefly. Tapping iOS video recording APIs, xRec by developer Akın Öğünç lets you easily capture contents of your iDevice’s screen, without having to jailbreak or cheat by hooking up your device to a computer to use a desktop screen capture software instead…(...)

| Wallpapers of the Week: flat toned and brilliant wallpapers Posted: 21 Jul 2013 08:45 AM PDT
Third in the still new series on iDownloadBlog, many of our readers were asking for a section including wallpapers. It is sometimes difficult to find quality wallpapers on a regular basis and to assist you with fresh options, the “Wallpapers of the Week” section is now a running series on the site. With three section posts behind us, I will take this last opportunity to give a brief explanation of the section and help set expectations for future posts. This weekly wallpaper section aims to provide two excellent options for your iOS device each week. I found, trying to locate 5 to 10 excellent wallpapers is difficult. We only want to provide you with quality selections, over quantity. Sometimes the wallpapers posted will come in various versions, but often artists only produce their design for one device. However, whenever possible, all versions will be linked. For example, today we are featuring artist AR7, a talented graphic artist hailing from Italy…(...)
