A lot of people are impatient about the release of the iClassic, and believe me, I’m more impatient than anybody, but there’s a reason for the delay.

The app is going into the Cydia Store, which is run by Saurik. To have the package on the Cydia Store, we need to give our payment details to Saurik, and I’m guessing he has to do stuff on his server, before we send the package for hosting (it will be on BigBoss’ repo, btw). More

Overview

nil is ObjC’s null, which means that the pointer to the object doesn’t really point to anything. This is usually when you haven’t created the object.

In ObjC, you can send nil as a parameter for a selector(that’s how methods are called on ObjC, will use that from now on), receive nil from one, and even call  a selector on nil.
