Cydia App Package, Creating a debian APT package for an app Options

[nycdude777]

Hi all,

I have an app that I want to put on cydia. I followed saurik's official instructions at http://www.saurik.com/id/7 as well as RupertGee's here http://redwolfberry.com/rupertgee/iBlog/20...a-host-osx-001/

I have been able to create a package, move it into iPhone's tmp directory, ssh into iPhone and install the package, however I can't get the application ICON to show up, nor do I see the app in the Applications folder on the phone, yet when I go to cydia, I see the app as installed, since it gives me the option to Uninstall it.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???

My main question is if I am building the folder structure correctly. Saurik's instructions show as if there should be a FOLDER called MyProgram.app under Applications, which then contains 3 files: Info.plist, MyProgram (listed with no extension for some reason) and icon.png

The problem is that when you renam a folder on mac to MyProgram.app, it no longer recognizes it as a folder, and so I can't put all those files in there...

The problem with RupertGee's instructions is that its for a theme, not an app...

PLEASE HELP

You can write me at riccello@yahoo.com

THANKS A BILLION!!!

Rick
