Nearly two million people jailbroke their iOS device using the evasi0n jailbreak tool within 24 hours of it being available. However, the jailbreak broke the iOS 6 Weather app.

Fortunately for those missing out on regular weather updates, there's now a fix for the bug.

The update to UIKit Tools (now up to version 1.1.7) is now available to jailbreakers under the “Changes” section of Cydia on your iDevice.

If it is not available, refresh the "Changes" page.

The evasi0n jailbreak tool has also been updated to fix the Weather app problem, as well as reducing how long the reboot cycle takes when jailbreaking.
