Help/Support Framework not found preferences- another preference compiling thread

i0s_tweak3r · April 4, 2017

Sorry to start a new thread but I searched and my problem was exactly the same as in this thread-https://iosgods.com/topic/41545-ld-warning-directory-not-found-for-option/

Since the thread was marked solved/ answered I'm guessing that's possibly why no one has offered a solution to my comment asking for help.

I made a tweak with a preference bundle before on my iOS 9.3 device, but keep getting this error when trying to make the preference bundle/ entire package (for my newest tweak) on my iOS 10 device. I copied project to my iOS 9.3 device but still get same error...

Show me your Makefile in the pref bundle folder

Seems like the Preference framework might be missing from your SDK? I'd recommend the 8.1 SDK from http://sdks.website

I tried that already. Also checked SDK's for frameworks and it appears to be there for 9.0, 9.3 and 8.1. Under theos/sdks/SDK version/system/library/privateframeworks/preferences right? Also when I moved project to my 9.3 device, and changed makefile to target exactly the same as an old tweak with a pref bundle that works, it still got same error.

will try deleting the 8.1 SDK I have and redownloading though. I've read that worked for other ppl with same error.

Edit: Deleted my 8.1 SDK, redownloaded it, changed makefile target back to 8.1:10, and still get the same error.

Edit: Started project over and used Dida's handy template, then modified from there and finally got it. Still have no idea why it didn't work b4. I'll eventually figure it out. Just happy tweak is updated with pref bundle.

ok so i studied a tutorial on preference bundles, deleted my original bundle and followed tutorial pretty much exactly. Went to compile and got an error

Compiling Tweak.xm...
Tweak.xm:6:75: error: expected ']'
return  [ [ [ NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:PLIST_PATH] value for key:key]  boolValue];

My code seems right in tweak.xm but maybe someone can see what's causing the compiling error?

Edit:Found compiling error. should be "valueForKey"....now i'm back to original error of it not finding preferences. Everything compiles just won't build the bundle...Arggg

Here is my tweak.xm file

	#define PLIST_PATH @"/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/prefbundle.plist"
	inline bool 
GetPrefBool(NSString *key)
{
return  [ [ [ NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:PLIST_PATH] value for key:key]  boolValue];
}
	%hook SBPolicyAggregator
-(bool) _allowsCapabilityLockScreenCameraSupportedWithExplanation:(id*)arg1 {
if(GetPrefBool(@"kenabled")) {
return FALSE;
}
return %orig;
}
	//Begin hooking 2nd function in same class
-(bool) _allowsCapabilityLockScreenCameraWithExplanation:(id*)arg1 {
if(GetPrefBool(@"kenabled"))
{
return FALSE;
}
return %orig;
}
//end of 2nd hooked function
%end
//end of first hooked class
	
%hook SBLockScreenTestPluginSettings
