If you want to make an issue for a Cydia app, you need to add this information to the new issue:

**App Name:** 
**Bundle ID:** 
**Version:** 
**iTunes ID:** none (Cydia app)
**Original Artwork:**
<img src="###PLEASE FILL THIS OUT###" width="180" height="180" />
**Accepted Artwork:**
\#\#\# THIS IS FOR GLASKLART MAINTAINERS DO NOT MODIFY THIS LINE OR WRITE BELOW IT.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND COMMENTS SHOULD BE IN A SEPARATE COMMENT. \#\#\#

To find the needed information, you can use AppInfo from Cydia.

Open AppInfo and choose the app you're requesting an icon for. Example:

img_3441 - copy

Locate the line that says Id. That is the Bundle ID and it will be used in the next step.

Please provide the highest resolution artwork you can find, this will make it a lot easier to make a nice Glasklart icon.

How to manually find out the right Bundle ID?

Sometimes - we don't know why - AppInfo is showing the wrong Bundle ID. In this case, you have to find out the right Bundle ID "by hand".

The first step is always to connect your jailbroken device to you computer. For the following example, we are using Windows - but the steps are nearly the same for OSX.

If you have connected your device to your computer use a file manager for iOS devices like iFunbox or iPhoneBrowser. There are many more Programs out there, a simple Google search should do the trick.

In this example, we are searching the Bundle ID for "Winterboard" with iFunbox. With your device connected, start iFunbox and click on iFunbox Classic in the left top of the program window. You should see something like this:

Now we take a closer look into the folders User Applicationsand System Applications. In this example we find a folder named WinterBoard in the System Applications folder - this must be the right one! Open this folder and you see this:

You see a file that is called Info.plist - save this file to your computer and open it with a plist editor or with you favorite text editor - you see something like this:

Now search for the key CFBundleIdentifier and voila, the entry is com.saurik.WinterBoard. This is the Bundle ID that needs to be filled out when you request a Cydia icon.
