I do, sorry I should have specified that.

Hey all, I'm new around here. Been a long time lurker, and tried many wonderful hacks from this site. I'm a computer programmer and in college and I've recently decided to try and add iOS app hacking to my arsenal. I've been at this for almost a week now with no real results, and I'm just trying to figure out what I am doing wrong in my process. I've followed multiple tutorials, and tried to chain things together the best I can but I always come up short. So here is my process, if anyone can pin-point an error or something I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it, I'm here to learn more so feel free to be harsh if need be. I downloaded the App from the iTunes Store Copied the downloaded IPA to Rasticrac on PC, into the input folder Ran rasticrac to get a cracked IPA Copied the IPA to another folder, which in this case is titled IDA Hacking Copy the IPA again (preserving the clean file so I don't have to find it again in iTunes folder), and pasting this one into a folder titled Attempt 1 (Obviously i've been incrementing numbers this is an example) Change .ipa to .zip Extract the .zip (WinRAR) Go into the extracted folder and find the binary Open the binary in IDA Demo (I found the download on here) Find what I want to hack and modify it according the arm to hex converter for what I want. I've tried many things from ADD changed to SUB, or NOP and a BX LR. Nothing ever works like I want it to. Open binary in Hex Editor and edit the hexes then save Zip the package up (WinRAR) Change .zip to .ipa Use Cydia Impactor to install the IPA to my phone (Have also tried copying VIA SSH and running install on phone but it always crashes this way) Test game, and find out nothing has changed all functions are normal Try again... Finally ask for help here on iOSGods Learn something! Thanks guys if anyone is able to help me I will greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure if I am missing a step or what may be going wrong. If you want to see examples of what I am modifying I can show you those as well if that will help.

I figured out the issue- I was using the windows default method of zipping the folder, and instead I had to go into the folder select all the files/payload folder and then zip from in there, otherwise windows was adding an extra folder.

I've decided to finally take the plunge and start guessing and checking to try and modify a game I play on my phone. I got the cracked binary, opened it in IDA editor, then edited values in the hex editor and then saved and exited everything. I'm now trying to repackage and install my app to see if what I changed worked. However everytime I try and use Cydia Impactor it gives me the error of ipa.cpp:122 cannot find .app/Info.plist. I've tried using the original .ipa file, unzipping it and dropping in my new file then re-zipping and going to install to no avail. But if I just use the original file it works fine. Is there a step im missing to use the modified binary? Or how can i overcome this Cydia Impactor error. I've tried installing the IPA through filza as well on myjailbroken device and that fails as well. If I am asking in the wrong place or doing something wrong I apologize I am just trying to learn. I cannot afford a premium subscription for hacks on here and as a Software Engineering Major I figured I may as well learn to make my own hacks, and I think I got the majority of it down. I just need pointers or help in the right direction, because if I could hack my own files I could contribute here instead of lurking only to find out the good hacks are all VIP which I cannot afford. I followed the following tutorials but they didn't tell me how to package the app for re-install: https://iosgods.com/topic/1469-ida-hacking-tutorial-2/ https://iosgods.com/topic/1470-tutorial-ida-hacking-tutorial-3/ https://iosgods.com/topic/852-tutorial-how-to-hack-using-ida/
