the next step after this getting solved

is to create the tweak. i used the template v3.1 available from

however, i'm getting the following error when runing "make package install'

Copying the CydiaSubstrate binary to $THEOS/vendor/lib/CydiaSubstrate.framework solved the CydiaSubstrate.tbd (source)

this remains:

Which SDK are you using? Regarding the Preferences not found.

https://github.com/theos/sdks

syto203 · May 23, 2019

i tried 9.2,9.3,10.2 and 10.3 and none of them had the preferences framework. (edit: i tried the sdks from $theosinstaller sdk-version)

i did find this repo with sdks for 9.3-12.2 and that fixed it.

i used the 10.3 SDK

https://github.com/DavidSkrundz/sdks

on another topic the patch didn't work even thought it's exactly what was in the tutorial.

here is my tweak.xm only the first 2 keys are related to this game with the first 1 being the NOPing of the STR as referenced from here

Compiling a hack with theos

Open your tweak.xm from your theos project & find this:
    if(GetPrefBool(@"key1")) {
      vm_writeData(0x123456, 0x123456); //The first value should be the offset & the second value the hackedHex
    }
If I wanted to change it to NOP I would change it to this:
    if(GetPrefBool(@"key1")) {
      vm_writeData(0x10092DEE8, 0x1F2003D5); // 
    }
How do I know it would be "0x1F2003D5"?

Well iOSGods has this awesome website: http://armconverter.com/

I typed "NOP" & in the " ARM64 HEX" box I got the Hex of it.

You can convert any valid arm instruction here, so if you wanted to hack the LDR, you could have written this in the box:

LDR W8, [X23] & it would give you this value: 0xE80240B9

inline bool GetPrefBool(NSString *key) {
		return [[[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:PLIST_PATH] valueForKey:key] boolValue];
}

      vm_writeData(0x10092DED8,0x48018052); //

    if(GetPrefBool(@"key3")) {

Did you ever find a fix for this its happening with me too

syto203 · October 24, 2019

if you are building on an iDevice choose only one sdk from ios 11 if you are using an A11 device.(iphone x and iphone 8) and in the make file set the used archs to "ARCHS = arm64"

@Yueky

also refer to this

the fix was the last post before your question.
