Submitting paid package to Cydia Store

Question

I'd like to submit my app to the Cydia Store. It's going to be a paid package. Since I've never done other than free/opensource development, can somebody please explain how to do integration of my app with Cydia? Specifically, I'm curious if I have to check if the installed app instance is legit (DRM checking) (and if so, how to do it), or how handle the payment and purchase (or, did I misunderstood, but is there any standard options in Cydia to automate the purchase?).

Answer 1

There are numerous links tutorials available for that.

A nice one is

Answer 2

For questions about the Cydia Store system, a reliable source of answers is simply "contact your favorite default repository manager" - they've helped lots of developers figure this out, and you'll need to talk to one of them anyway to get your Cydia Store package published.

For people who haven't published packages on default repositories in Cydia before, these are your options:

• BigBoss (managed by Optimo)
• ModMyi (managed by Kyle and Tyler)
• MacCiti (managed by MacCiti)

(If you aren't sure which to pick, find your favorite package author and ask for a recommendation.)
