GitHub repository metadata places the project creation in April 2024, with public release tags reaching v1.0 in September 2024 and v1.4.x by early 2025. ### Adoption history Official installation instructions focus on pipx or pip from the GitHub archive and state support for Linux, macOS, WSL, and jailbroken iOS on x86_64 and arm64/aarch64. Its Homebrew packaging makes the tool visible to macOS users who want a package-manager install rather than a direct pipx command. ### How it is used cyan is used to modify IPA, TIPA, or app bundles: it can inject debs, dylibs, frameworks, bundles, and app extensions, alter app metadata such as name and bundle identifier, change icons, add entitlements, and generate shareable .cyan files through the bundled cgen command. ### Why package nerds care For package people, cyan is a small modern example of a Python CLI whose upstream prefers direct archive installation but is also wrapped by Homebrew and other package sets for repeatable local tooling. ### Timeline - 2024: Repository created and initial work began. - 2024: v1.0 release published. - 2025: v1.4.x releases continued the public release line. ### Related projects - The README credits pyzule, Azule, LIEF, and insert_dylib-related projects as ancestors or building blocks. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cyan - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - cyan: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/cy/cyan/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - cyan: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: graphics/cyan/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ideviceinstaller](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ideviceinstaller/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ios, mobile. - [mobiledevice](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mobiledevice/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ios, mobile. - [flank](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flank/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ios, mobile. - [libimobiledevice](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libimobiledevice/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ios, mobile. - [objc-codegenutils](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/objc-codegenutils/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ios. - [adb-enhanced](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/adb-enhanced/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, mobile. - [ipapatch](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ipapatch/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ios, ipa. - [ipatool](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ipatool/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, ios, ipa. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
