You wouldn't happen to have AppSync installed would you?
@planetbeing
I strongly suspect AppSync is causing the problem with Weather given the syslogs I've gotten.
@planetbeing
People are reporting uninstalling AppSync AND rebooting are solving their issues. YMMV.

At least we have a good way of telling who the pirates are now
Or people who want to develop apps and test them on devices without having to pay the Apple developer fee.... *
* Although most are dirty pirates
It's sad because paid tweaks works better and they are less likely to crash etc.Or people who want to develop apps and test them on devices without having to pay the Apple developer fee.... *

If you're jailbroken you can run your own code without app sync.
Here is how i fixed mine, just a few minutes ago. (That last cydia update for Jailbreak pkg didn´t fixed the weather app, it might come on a 2nd upgrade), in the meantime you can follow this steps, basically remove Appsync Libs, reboot, regenerate plist file that was damaged by Jailbreak-Appsync and reboot to take effect.
- Remove Appsync Lib 5.1+ from Cydia, this pkg usally comes as a dependency for Vshare or other App like that
. Open Cydia
. Search
. Type Appsync and remove the one that has a green thick on the side (That might remove also the associated App that is dependant too, normally Vshare, Installous (RIP) or other alike
. Remove it
- Reboot
- Log to your phone via SSH, we´ll need a console for next step (install OpenSSH: default user-pass: root/alpine)
*Kudos to the author of this script:
#!/bin/bash
chmod -x /usr/libexec/mobile_installation_proxy
killall -9 mobile_installation_proxy
rm /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore
launchctl stop com.apple.mobile.installd
launchctl start com.apple.mobile.installd
while [ ! -f /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist ];
do
sleep 1
done
while [ ! -f /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore ];
do
sleep 1
done
sleep 10
reboot
- After that last reboot your weather app should be functional again.
Cheers,
Alex.

I dont get it?
All my tweaks are paid ...
Any ideas?
Normally Appsync is used to transfer unpaid apps to itunes as backup and the other way around, usually installed along applications like Installous, Vshare which are used to download pirated apps. BAD BAD :S
I'm pretty sure you need a semi colon after the last reboot to force the reboot. If you don't use the semi colon, worse case you reboot manually. Luckily I haven't had to use this script since my weather app has worked since day 1. The only bug I experienced was the long reboots. But the latest update in Cydia has fixed that problem.
So appsync is a 'naughty' app? .. Good i dont have it.
Still why the hell iant mine fixed?!
Right about the ; or just hit another ENTER
, thanks.Yeap the long reboot was fixed, thank god it took forever to reboot
You can, but it's a hell of a lot easier to just make the IPA in xcode and sync it to your phone.

haha sooo true! Man those reboots were brutal. It's amazing how smooth my experience has been with jailbreaking since iOS5 and the 4S came out. The 4S and 5 are absolute BEASTS and can handle soooo many tweaks and packages, so long as nothing conflicts with each other. Jailbreaking is looking great these days, minus the long (but much appreciated) wait period between new jailbreaks.
to tell you the truth I never knew what appsync was for I just downloaded because I heard ppl talking about it. All my apps are paid for. Anyways my phone never had the problem with the weather not working until I just downloaded the new update that was in cydia. Now it crashes and I even uninstalled appsync.
Even after the update the weather app still crashes.
On a second note whats the best weather app on the appstore?
