The iOS torrent client

iTransmission 4

iTransmission, basically, is a torrent client, which uses libtransmission as it's backend.

So, what is iTransmission 4? iTransmission , originally, was developed by ccp0101. It is no longer kept active. I plan on keeping iTransmision 4 active., as well as building it for older devices (currently as old as iOS 4/iPT 2).

This is an extension to ioshomebrew's iTransmission 3, which is basically a torrent client for iOS, which I plan on keeping active and adding new features to as per my requirements and requests from you i.e. the user. I've already added lots of stuff.

Compiling libraries

You may wish to compile iTransmission libraries yourself

There is no longer a need to compile iTransmission libraries yourself. I've already done that for you. The libraries include armv7, armv7s and arm64. They are in Project/Libraries folder, in zip format.

Yet, if you still want to be adventurous, I have added the required files in a folder named 'Compilation'.

How to compile libraries

---

Open terminal cd to Compilation directory ./build.sh If you need to change options, edit the configuration & build.sh file in Compilation directory.

Compiling app

Compiling may be a bit hard, and depends upon your target. I will cover the basics below. I assume that you are using Mac OS X and have XCode. You can't compile the app without either of those. But, I've included a pre-compiled app. Use that with Installation Option I or II.

1. The app will never be accepted in the app store. Therefore, we do not need codesigning. But XCode requires us to codesign each and every app. Assuming I use the iOS 5.1 SDK, I can disable this check by opening /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk/SDKSettings.plist with a text editor (not XCode) and change the following values

<key>CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED</key>
<string>YES</string>

to

<key>CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED</key>
<string>NO</string>

<key>ENTITLEMENTS_REQUIRED</key>
<string>YES</string>

to

<key>ENTITLEMENTS_REQUIRED</key>
<string>NO</string>

2. You may also want to change the minimum deployment target to your choice and the base SDK to your choice also.

Installation

Installation is the easiest part. You will need a jailbroken iDevice.

OPTION I

1. Put the compiled .app in the /Applications folder of your iDevice.
2. SSH into your device and execute the following command(without double-quotes):"cd /Applica*/iTransm*;chmod 777 ./iTransmission; cd ~/;"

OPTION II

1. Make a folder. Name doesn't matter, but using "iTransmission" here.
2. Open the folder.
3. Make a folder named "Payload". Name matters here.
4. Copy the compiled .app into the Payload folder.
5. Compress(Zip only) the iTransmission folder to iTransmission.zip
6. Rename iTransmission.zip to iTransmission.ipa
