Help/Support Advice Needed For Next Step

[Valathene 6 1]

Hey guys

 

So have been reading and reading and asking a-lot of questions about developing tweaks for iOS games - Motiviation for me from all you guys (thank you)

 

So i have a process and I wanted to get some feedback if I am missing something before I keep diving deeper and deeper

 

So far I have done and learnt the following things

 

• Install Theos and all known developments tools to me
• Test Theos and Compile a simple tweak that gives me a uialert popup box when the iphone resprings

 

From Here i knew that my THEOS and tweaks and compiling is working so i started moving onto learning about games hackings

 

I now know the following

 

• Download apps from Itunes to computer and install via iFun box
• Using iFunbox USB tunnel option I use all my commands for my iphone terminal through Drop bear since I am on Yalu on 10.1.1 (apparently openSSH doesnt work or its better to stay away from it incase things go sour)
• Once installed I Decrypt the game via rasticrac
• Once I have the new Decrypted IPA file I will then go and uninstall the current game and install the cracked game
• Once the Cracked game is installed I then thin the Binary if need be and overwrite the old binary or just rename it.
• I then create a class dump of that binary to get all the headers.

 

I know i am only touching the very tip of the iceberg but I am learning and I have a question

 

• When I created those class dumps I now have a massive list of .h files which I will need to sift through and look for methods to hook into, but I don't want to do it on my iPhone as it will tedious. I was wondering if anyone has an IDE where I can download and install and program objective C code in it with the iPhone SDK, so it will have the capabilities of showing me possible predefined functions available that I can use and will auto populate certain syntax, plus it will allow me to sift through code so much easier as I will have it in an IDE and can view it a lot easier then an iPhone (i know i can view it with notepad++ but I was wondering if there is an IDE out there)

I will probably have more questions late hope to get some feedback on the process I am doing for a beginner does that seem like a good starting point and what could i be doing to better my self with that process

 

Any feedback would be amazing

 

Thanks in Advance

Don't worry about that jibber jabber you don't need this. Learn how to use a debugger like gdb or lldb then that's where the magic happens

I don't use this method as it's pointless with sub_x games just use flex to find useful stuff . I use flex to find the applicationdidbecomeactive for popup thats it

What do you mean by sub_x games?

I am still new so i havnt come across anything with that name?
