This decision seems to be a major cause of bugs discovered in Cydia.

A bug that triggered the closure of Cydia was discovered by developer Andrew Wiik. If a user is using a PayPal account to purchase a paid app from Cydia and a malicious third party browses the Cydia account's repository, purchase any package from Cydia via the user's PayPal account It was a bug that made it possible.

In response to this bug, Mr. Saurik who once felt Cydia's development is not worth the effort announced that it will close Cydia within 2018. At the time of writing the article, Cydia has invalidated the purchase action to cope with the bug, and the user can not get the application via Cydia.

In the Jailbreak community, most developers are no longer using Cydia for getting applications, so the impact on the community as a whole is "not that big," reported by Apple's media 9to 5 Mac.

According to Mr. Saurik, the creator of Cydia, it will be officially released in the future as to the details of Cydia closure.
