I'm pretty sure it was started by the evad3rs when they decided to bundle a separate pirated App Store for Chinese users...

And he's right? It's not just rumors anymore, go change your language to 'Chinese' and evasion will install the app. Its not just Ionic anymore, he might of started it but plenty of other people are now confirming it. Just check sn0w, winocm and Saurik....
Edit: Ok cool, we might get some answers soon then.
I dont understand why this has been released when it supports 7.1 beta 1&2. Why not save it until 7.1 was releases?

I'm sure they will explain it, but my guess at the moment. The theft rumors were true and they had a deal with this chinese company. They had to rush it out to make sure that someone else didnt get it out first or face losing the money? It also explains why Saurik was kept out of the loop since he would not have approved at all.
As long as everything is alright, my plan at the moment is to install 7.1 beta 2 and just run that after removing the expiry date. If 7.1 comes out without patching the JB then great, but its unlikely imo.
This tweet means nothing without more information.
At this moment, saurik is my go-to person for this. When he approves, I will download this.
...And yet another thread in the jailbreak section devolves into posting screen shots of twitter. Solid work as usual guys!
Maybe because the JB has just been released and twitter is the fastest and most public way to share information?
I don't know, just a thought there, genius.
That article is terrible, nothing but even more baseless speculation.

So eventually I need to replace my 5S. How long do you think I have before 7.1 comes out and the replacements in the stores have 7.1?
Lol so let's get this right:
- They bundled an old version of Cydia without even consulting with Saurik
- They didn't even bother to test Saurik's latest version with iOS 7 fixes
- The app phones home to an IP in costa rica
- They bundled some chinese crapware which allows you to install pirated apps
No thanks. Evad3rs have pretty much destroyed whatever trust the jailbreak community had.

You're right, nobody is forcing me to do anything.
I was just suggesting that anybody who install this at this stage is foolish. If you don't mind phoning unknown data home to an unknown IP, and installing lord knows what else without the users' knowledge, then be my guest and install this.
