Hi Matt,
Followed your steps but I get “Error# e8008001. … Please send feedback.”
Below my iPhone specs:
Iphone 3G Version 4.2.1
Jailbroken (+ Cydia)
Using iFunBox
AppSync 4+ Installed
Tried Skype version 4.12.ipa
During transfer through iFunBox I get “Error# e8008001. … Please send feedback.”
Any suggestions? I also tried to install AppSync for IOS 5 from Cydia but I get the message that I can’t install it due to firmware not supported (it only works on 5 + firmwares).
Any suggestions would be great. Many thanks!

Hi,
I followed your instructions, but I got this message, when I opened the skype:
Your version of Skype is being retired. Update to the latest version today.
I have an ipad, I jailbraked just now, because I would like to use skype on it. Update of skype is not possible, because it needs a higher version of IOS, what I cannot update on ipad.
Can you help me to solve it?
Many thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Yes this is the problem with Apple products.
You need to jailbreak install app sync and then it might work however the video is old now and not even sure if the App
version will work.

Hi,
the last official version wich can connect today is the 4.17.135
and it require ios 6.
BUT… you can trick some older version to get it to work on older devices.
for ios 4/5 pick the 3.7 here, and when it’s installed go in /var/mobile/Applications with iFile, or any file manager you want.
then you have find skype… a bit annoying because folders are named with a kind of uuid, so, you have to open each to look inside.
when you found the skype.app, go in the folder, and look for the info.plist file.
inside this plist, you’ll find the version number of skype, edit and replace every 3.7.x you see (there’s 2 lines to modify) by 6.11 (wich is the current version), or any still officialy supported version number… and… voilà, magic…
now, you can login again with your skype id. and even be able to found and add contacts with msn/facebook id 🙂
i did this with 3.6 version for ios 3.1.3 on a good old 3G.
but i tried too with the 4.12 and the trick doesn’t work, it try to login, but it fail. so, use the 3.7, it’s ok.
Thanks Whaka for the information this will help some people out.
Thanks again,
Matt

Thanks Whaka for the information this will help some people out.
