iOS 8 has been technically jailbroken since October 22, but it’s taken weeks to get it polished enough for Cydia, the jailbreak alternative to the App Store.

Now that things are “stable enough,” Cydia creator Jay Freeman has flipped the switch to start allowing the sale of iOS 8 tweaks and themes.

A group of Chinese hackers called Pangu made and released the iOS 8 jailbreak last month, but it was a rather crude implementation that required bug fixes and updates to make it safe for users beyond the most experienced jailbreakers.
