Step forward a package in Cydia known as AccountChanger, which is aptly named considering its only function in life is to allow the seamless switching between Apple IDs through the Updates section of the official App Store. After installation, the App Store Updates tab is altered to include an ‘Accounts’ button in the top left hand corner of the tool bar. The Accounts option functions exactly as you would expect and when pressed; brings up a picker view, displaying all of the Apple IDs which have previously been used with that device. The purpose of this is to be able to easily select a secondary ID and then update as necessary without the need to remove and enter a new account through the ‘Store’ panel in the Settings app.

The picker view will present all Apple IDs that have previously been associated with that device, meaning that there are no options to configure and no place to manually add IDs. If you have more than one account that you would like AccountChanger to recognize but doesn’t then you will need to manually remove the existing account and enter the new one through the usual methods as a one time exercise in order to get AccountChanger to recognize it.

AccountChanger is available as a free of charge download on the BigBoss repository and requires iOS 5 or above. and obviously you will need a jailbroken device to use it.
