How to: Install ‘Blockchain’ from Cydia
With the recent removal of the official Blockchain app which just so happened to be the last Bitcoin wallet on the App Store, we’ve got a helpful how to guide on getting it on your iPhone if you’re jailbroken and didn’t download the app in time. First off, you’ll need to make sure your iOS device is jailbroken either on iOS 6 with p0sixspwn or iOS 7 with Evasi0n. From there, follow our guide below and you’ll be good to go.
- Head over to the Cydia store and tap on the “Search” tab.
- Type in “Blockchain” which should appear in the BigBoss repo.
- You’ll want to verify the author is Ben Reeves, who maintains Blockchain.info.
- Once Blockchain is downloaded and installed, you’ll either want to login with your account info from the website or setup an account.
For the security conscious, you can check out the source code over at Github to make sure everything checks out. Also, be sure sure to check out our full report on the removal of Blockchain from the App Store by clicking here.
