Why are you trying to change it anyways?

I'm trying to load a modified game client (that has a different name than vanilla client) into XMod so that it recognizes it as a game they have a mod for. I was thinking this would be the easiest way to do it since I can't seem to tell the xmod client to target it as it doesn't recognize the name.

By modified game client do you mean a hacked IPA? Or what did you mod

Yeah it's a hacked IPA. The developer of the mod changed the application name the system uses, so Xmod doesn't recognize it.

You can just install modded IPAs with iFunbox, iTools etc. if you're non-jailbroken use cydia impactor

I'm able to install it without issues. I just can't change the system name (is it called binary name?) for the application. I can change the icon name with a tweak, change the names in the Info.plist, but the Settings menu and Filza both still show a different name. I'm trying to locate where this is stored so Xmod will recognize it and install the mod and dylib for it.

Just because you can launch it with xmod doesnt mean you get a dylib. You need to make a csci hack with the modded offsets of the IPA

Okay thank you, I'm sure that's the case then. Offsets change even with small adjustments to the code, right?

I'm still curious about my original question though. I've been reading and the Bundle ID gets made when the app is signed. So it's possible I would need to resign the app with a different application name?

No I don't think so because even if you duplicate an app through installing it from different Appstore regions you only see 1 of the games
