Today, saurik has pushed an update to UIKit Tools to fix that issue. The update, which is version 1.1.10, now officially supports iOS 8.3 and all previous versions of iOS.
Up until now, developers have not had the ability to mark their jailbreak tweaks in Cydia as iOS 8.3 compatible.

Probably the most damage that can be done to an iPhone in a single drop is the dreaded corner impact.
