New hacks surface, while Hunted Cow shuts down its pirated game after one week
Newly emerged hacks that make iPhone piracy more straightforward threaten to make life harder for game developers on the platform.
Zeusmos and Kuaiyong are two newly launched services that allow one-tap, instant installs of pirated apps on any iOS device, TNW reports (http://thenextweb.com/apple/2013/01/01/low-down-dirty-iphone-app-pirates/).
No jailbreak is required for these apps to work, which makes them a significant threat to Apple and its development community.
The unnamed 15-year-old creator of Zeusmos claimed it’s just a way to enable homebrew apps without having to buy an annual Apple developer licence, but doesn’t acknowledge that what it does is enable piracy.
Zeusmos and Kuaiyong could make game piracy more accessible, which would be especially dangerous for developers who solely create titles for iOS devices.
