Help/Support How would I install a iOSGods .deb hack on my Mac for use with iOS apps?

[Displzdj 6 iPhone 7 Plus iOS 14]

Note: I'm on an M1 Mac, thank you @Rook for (sort of) pointing that out.

 

So, I am planning to do this:

1. Make a decrypted IPA (referred to as D-IPA for now) file on my iPhone with CrackerXI
2. Install said D-IPA on said Mac
3. Install a tweak for said installed D-IPA on said Mac.

Confusing? Let me explain better.

So I will decrypt "Deezer", install in on my Mac (by sideloading it)

I will then download a Deezer free premium tweak (.deb) - please answer my question about this at the bottom of this post...

I will then install that .deb on my Mac so that the tweak can tweak the Deezer IPA that is installed on my Mac.

 

How could I do this? DPKG doesn't let me install it since it's a Mac. Please tell me there is a way to do this. (See edit below, I've sort of done it)

 

EDIT:

I have now installed the .deb file tweak using dpkg --force-all -i <deb_file>.deb

I have also sideloaded the Deezer IPA onto my Mac too.

HOWEVER!

Sadly, the .deb isn't picking up on the app when I open it. It also says I need mobilesubstrate (ON A MAC?) so what should I do?

EDIT 2:

Ok now I got the mobile substrate deb file but installing it gives me this error:

Now what!??!

Hello,

It is not possible to install iOS debs on your Mac. They won’t do anything as they were not designed for working on macOS.

Assuming you’re on M1?

Your best bet is Sideloadly and injecting the .dylib straight into the app’s executable. Next update Sideloadly will give you the option to add .dylibs.

Hey! Thank you for replying, @Rook! When will this update arrive? Any ETAs? I am on the M1 Mac. I shall update the post to say that.

 

But how would I "inject" the .dylib into the apps executable? Where do I find said .dylib? Do I need to extract the deb file?

 

Edit:

Silly me for there is a command to unpack deb files on macOS.

ar -x

Alright, after unpacking, I got the .dylib and .plist

Is there a manual way to inject this .dylib into the IPA then?

So even if you inject that dylib, chances are it may not work because it was built for Jailbroken and it's looking for CydiaSubstrate.framework on the Jailbreak location. So it's not a straightforward process.

Ok then is there any way to get this to work then?

You can try with theos-jailed for now. You can inject custom dylibs into the IPA or create your own. Otherwise, just wait for a Sideloadly update.

Theos-jailed? Any tutorial on how to inject .dylib's with that?

Do you have an ETA for said update?

I think there is a tutorial on iOSGods. But not specifically for injecting other dylibs.

Soon!
