Jailbroken iPhone 3G, 2.2.1 pwned firmware.

I’ve updated my skype app to 1.0.2, gotten this message, but instead of working fine, it crashes around 15 seconds after launch, at first I could make a call and it would give me a “call failed” error, but now it just crashes. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the MobileSubstrate bug, but it worked fine before this update. I’ll try to post back with any updates, also if anyone else has had his problem and has fixed it I’d appreciate any help.

1.0.2 works on jailbroken iPhones via 3G as well if you have voipover3g installed! At least on my iPhone.

The warning only appears once on a jailbroken phone.

If you had installed voipover3g to use skype over 3g, 1.0.2 (at the present time) does not allow this.

Before you update to 1.0.2, go into itunes, right click Skype, and “show in finder”. Copy Skype.ipa to your desktop– or compress it or something.

If you want to remove 1.0.2, then delete it from itunes and from the iphone. Drag the “skype.ipa” you backed up into you “applications” in itunes, and press “SYNC”.

It will re-install the old version of skype on your phone.
