According to a recent tweet from jailbreak community member and developer @chpwn, Cydia was experiencing connectivity issues due to a prolonged outage of Amazon’s EC2 cloud computing service. After 86 hours of downtime, the man behind Cydia has confirmed that the app is finally back online following an issue with Amazon’s EC2 cloud computing service. In a message posted to Twitter on Sunday night, Jay “Saurik” Freeman – wrote: After 86 hours offline, Cydia is finally back! I’m eating some celebratory cake, and am looking forward to a night with >1.5 hours of sleep! The downtime limited Cydia’s functionality for all users, and meant purchasing packages, using the Theme Centre, and managing Cydia accounts was near impossible. Though some users may have had some success with accessing these services more recently, there were still intermittent periods of downtime as Amazon’s EC2 service slowly came back online. All issues seem to have been completely ironed out now and Cydia is fully functioning for all. Saurik has also removed the warning message that he has put to inform the new users about the server instability of Cydia.
