The team claims it's very upset that despite Taig's contractual obligations and the company's efforts to remove pirated apps from their store, the problem still exists. "Promoting an app store that is required not to have piracy with our jailbreak, we believe, will help developers." "Many App Stores within China, including those run by large corporations, have many issues with pirated software," evad3rs said. We don't believe it's right for developers to not get paid for their work."Īccording to the evad3rs team, their contract with Taig specifically requires the Chinese company to remove pirated apps from its store. "All of us have spoken out vehemently against piracy in the past. "We are deeply sorry and embarrassed about the piracy that was seen today," the team said. It would be deeply hypocritical to remove choice from the user in the course of jailbreaking."Įvad3rs also apologized for the presence of pirated apps on Taig, which some users had perceived as an endorsement of piracy by the team. Cydia can also be installed and Taig removed afterwards. "Taig is a Chinese App Store written in Chinese, tailored and, we believe, well suited to meet the needs of users for the Chinese market. "In the course of developing the iOS 7 jailbreak, we were approached by the company with an offer of partnership in offering Taig bundled with the jailbreak in China," the team said. This was followed by widespread speculation about evad3rs' motives for including this app directory in their jailbreak instead of Cydia, prompting the team to publish an open letter to the iOS jailbreaking community with clarifications.
