Help/Support How to make a modded ipa

[Jayla0420 3 iPhone 5s]

I've been using CrackerXI, full ipa extracting & using iFunBox & moving the binary to my PC. I then open it in IDA and let it all load. After a bit, I go through the functions & strings to see if I can find anything. Usually nothing in functions. When I find strings, they're just text when I double click. I've seen a few videos already with people xref them and get stuff. I'm a newbie to IDA & have been using Flex 3 for a few months. I'm mainly curious as to what order people do their stuff in. I've viewed all the tutorials pinned & I've barely learned a thing. It's no-ones fault but mine. I'm just having trouble figuring out exactly where to start & what order to follow. I really want to learn how to do debs, igmm's & ipa's but I figured starting out with IPAs would be a lot easier & I can learn one thing at a time. Also, what current apps & tools (ios & pc) do people tend to use nowadays for it? Have any of them changed or is everything in the tutorials still being used?
