@slim bramble furry tweak keygen is now available at https://repo.nekoweb.org 🙏🙏

(it's an actual repo)

ip logger

[manic forum]

fym ip logger

nekoweb is a static hosting service

[quaint rain]

What server was it running on?

And theoretically can someone else host

[manic forum]

heroku and digitalocean

[manic forum]

theoretically yes but that's not something i'm considering

[quaint rain]

:(

[manic forum]

tweakreviewsdb keeps track of users with udids

i'm not sure if a udid is considered pii but i don't want to just give that database to someone else

[quaint rain]

makes sense

[rocky oriole]

I would say it is

you wouldn't give your UDID to a random person

if you were to give it to someone else even if they're trusted, I personally would have people do something that asks if they would want their UDID transferred which in the process could have it compromised of sorts, and if they say no then it wouldn't be transferred

[light owl]

i would

i have 4 udids and 2 of them are nebulas

[sullen roost]

This

[trail nimbus]

its prob the game

[sullen roost]

Is there anyway to unzip it

[trail nimbus]

is that even a zip

[quaint rain]

Deltarune is game maker right?

So it’s probably the game maker shit and assets packed into that file

[sullen roost]

Yes

[sullen roost]

How to open and see things inside of it

Or just edit

[cloud yacht]

If it's a gamemaker thing undertale mod tool might be able to open it

[hasty ruin]

Should’ve hashed

[manic forum]

there's also an issue regarding anonymity

people who have not set a username are practically anonymous, the only way you can match one review to another through the public API is through usernames

of course that anonymity is completely lost if I give the full data to someone else

tbh I don't think anyone cares but there's the possibility that someone might

[acoustic imp]

is #showcase only meant for jb related things?

[rocky oriole]

i would assume so

[magic hazel]

How do you get extensions to show up in autocomplete

[grim sparrow]

wait for xcode indexing to index

i'm aware this answer is so incredibly vague

[magic hazel]

well, i've had xcode sit here for about 36 hours 💀

[grim sparrow]

nuke the cache

[magic hazel]

btw i'm talking about like

.vertical enum

i hate having to manually type .vertical and have it try and autocorrect to .Vertical

ill try that tho

so like all of derived data?

[grim sparrow]

yeah

save a keybind to nuke deriveddata

[grim sparrow]

what version of xcode is that-

[magic hazel]

xcode 7.3.1

[grim sparrow]

ha

yeah nuking the deriveddata folder might help that

[magic hazel]

alr i nuked it

reindexing

[orchid fulcrum]

bro get a new setup 😭

[magic hazel]

nope

still nothing

[magic hazel]

a new setup that supports the swift 2.2 toolchain?

i'd be glad to hear which one that is

[grim sparrow]

so i looked into it

[magic hazel]

and trust me, i have tried literally every solution in existence

i mean every solution

you cannot get swift 2.2 running properly on a modern mac

it will not happen

[grim sparrow]

lol

[orchid fulcrum]

i mean what are you trying to do with swift so old

[magic hazel]

and

[magic hazel]

swift on ios 6

[orchid fulcrum]

yeah i get it but why lol

[grim sparrow]

xcode 7 had shit autocomplete and most solutions are jsut turn it off

[magic hazel]

i have xcode 8

xcode 8 has the same problem for me

xcode 8.2.1 is the last version to support swift 2.2

[grim sparrow]

if ur mixing and matching you'll want to be nuking deriveddata each time

and setting the right xcode path in settings

[magic hazel]

i do

#if !swift(>=3.0)
import Foundation
import UIKit

extension UILayoutConstraintAxis {
    static var vertical: UILayoutConstraintAxis { return Vertical }

    static let horizontal = UILayoutConstraintAxis.Horizontal
}
    
#endif```

ignore the mismatch

it was for testing

but this is what i want to autocomplete

[grim sparrow]

yeah idk what to tell you

[magic hazel]

i think its swift 2.2

it works fine in swift 3

the one place i dont need it

[magic hazel]

yeah okay so

ive decided since thats the only thing that doesn't autocomplete

you can just manually change your camel case

sure the codebase wont IMMEDIATELY compile in everything

but xcode will figure out what u did wrong

and fix it fory ou

so its fine

i'd rather keep autocomplete

at least functions autocompelet

[magic hazel]

Best macOS you can use for swift 2.2 is macOS High Sierra with Xcode 8.2.1 and swift 2.3

[light owl]

Ok

[magic hazel]

Just a PSA for anyone wanting to use it

anyone have a better solution

[magic hazel]

missing required module 'SwiftShims'

anyone know how to fix this

[mental wharf]

Hi there, has anybody attempted backporting ios frameworks yet? I wanna try making AppTrackingTransparency backport but I'm not sure how to properly inject it

[grim sparrow]

With great difficulty

[mental wharf]

Has anybody achieved proper framework injection?

[slim bramble]

What’s your end goal

[grim sparrow]

I know coolstar was able to back port lossless music but it was a complete pia and not at all production ready

it worked by just copying a cache from a new ipsw over and forcing apps to use that

[harsh junco]

I wonder if one could do the same for WK

[grim sparrow]

WatchKit or WeatherKit

that’s vague

[harsh junco]

WebKit

[grim sparrow]

OH

Yes

I see people doing that all the time

don’t you dare say whoosh

Somewhere here I’m sure you can find a statically linked safari from new iOS

[harsh junco]

wait what

statically linked
???? Since when lol

[harsh junco]

r/woosh

What’s the point of tweaks like [[Polyfills]] then, if someone could just wrap dsc launching/static safari

[grim sparrow]

I think the biggest argument for not distributing a static Safari is it’s arguably piracy

I’m not sure what the servers stance on it is

[harsh junco]

Okay, but then, if you download dmg from ipsw using libpartialzip, mount and extract safari/dsc it probably wouldn’t be considered as piracy

(everything is on device)

[grim sparrow]

Sure

[lime pivot]

introducing a new framework should be totally doable, if you're on rootful

unless dyld is hardcoded to never look on disk for /System/Library/(Private)Frameworks which it might be

[sonic totem]

Bind mounts on rootless too

[lime pivot]

write a framework that just implements stubs for the public APIs and see if it works

[wooden yarrow]

wasn't there like a file on internal builds that made it look at the disk for libraries too

makes it seem like it would be prevented by default

[lime pivot]

that sounds like a thing they'd do yeah

[timid furnace]

on disk first and then cache as a fallback

at least on macOS

[floral notch]

From a sideloaded ipa / appstore app, are there restrictions around connecting to localhost over TCP? Specifically, SSH? It's timing out for me

Ah that's so annoying, it seems like iOS blocks the SSH port specifically

I tried it on localhost port 44 (dropbear) and it connects fine. wtf.....

i assume this is why palera1n has another ssh server on port 2222\

[mental wharf]

I want to run iOS 14 apps on iOS 13

Or at least to try to make it work

[pearl sail]

Oof that sounds painful

Have fun

[slim bramble]

Use a different shared cache maybe

Or just patch out the methods that don’t exist

[pearl sail]

Would that not just make apps act wonky if they use anything that isn’t present

[magic hazel]

I mean you can do it on macOS with relative ease

[ocean raptor]

Hello, Amy I assume you are in this channel, I have a question about Sileo telemetry. Does that exist? How many users do we have in the different iOS versions?

[rocky oriole]

@grim sparrow ^

[grim sparrow]

I’ll load it up shortly

[quaint rain]

Inb4 1/2 being from sketchy phone farms

[lime pivot]

I can check but I forgor what the domain is for the dashboard

oh I got it

nop it's broken

well I can tell you what Chariz is seeing, should be about the same

[grim sparrow]

i dm'd it

[frank fossil]

boot iOS 26 simulator on your phone

fwiw, simulators keep original dylibs and frameworks instead of having just dsc

[harsh junco]

OH

I wonder if it’s possible to make safari/etc use wk/jscore functions from these dylibs instead of whatever is in dsc

something like a dsc hook idk

[visual meadow]

i put 16.4 simulator webkit in place of 16.4.1 webkit and it worked fine

but pointless

[indigo kraken]

came across something fun https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/FingerTips/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40008124-Intro-DontLinkElementID_2

Runtime Requirements: iPhone OS 2.0

[inner imp]

Does anyone know how one would fix (shadcn) sidebars with iOS 26? Has apple said something about this? Are there new css env vars to fix this?

[ocean raptor]

Bye 🫡✌️

[cloud yacht]

As far as I can tell it's working as intended?

[inner imp]

Well, before they made the bottom thingy transparent, the cutoff wasnt visible and fit in the viewport. But now, the viewport size is the same, but the bottom bar is transparent so you can see behind it, breaking the "illusion"

the second image just doesn't look good

[cloud yacht]

Sure but it's the same behaviour, it goes to the bar. I honestly have no idea I would probably create an issue with shadcn

[inner imp]

This isn't an issue with shadcn

It's an issue with safari

safari 26 specifically

i'll try experimenting with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/env

but doubt that that's the right solution

i just thought maybe one of you knew a few new css vars that have been added (or not) in safari 26, or if the safari developer docs say something about this

[inner imp]

cant get it to work

it overflows

but it isnt shown

even when overflow: visible is set

it does work when you scroll???

why are overflows not visible

[inner imp]

https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/1mm84hr/ios_26_pb4_website_fullscreen_overlays_do_not/

tell me ios 26 isnt ready without telling me ios 26 isnt ready

[trail nimbus]

Lmao

[lime pivot]

oop I missed him

[lime pivot]

XCode

[lime pivot]

there just isn’t a solution currently, and I’m certain Apple likes it this way

[inner imp]

you mean apple likes websites looking broken now?

[lime pivot]

on Chariz we have a trick where I made the backdrop shade extend to like -100px and 100px, but it’s not working

that was going to be my suggestion

[inner imp]

yeah its very weird why viewport overflows are not shown

maybe 26.0.1 fixes it https://x.com/aaronp613/status/1968426726960050200

Aaron (@aaronp613)

Apple has released Safari 26.0.1

X · Sep 17, 2025, 9:27 PM

[lime pivot]

it seems to me if the page is equal height to the viewport, it cuts it off

even if you have divs that extend past it

[inner imp]

but the page isn't 100% the height of the viewport

neither the <html> nor the <body>

the thing is

the sidebar is position: fixed

and in my experience

safari does NOT like fixed elements

maybe its coz of that

[inner imp]

probably coz apple thinks all fixed elements will be ads and popups

[fluid lintel]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I would like to know if there is a way on iOS to create an app that triggers backups of all other apps. I have seen that by connecting it to OS X, it is possible to do this using mobilebackup2. However, I was wondering if there is a way to do this from within iOS without jailbreaking.

[fast gazelle]

can i implement a custom CAFilter?

[cloud yacht]

As far as I'm aware this is not possible with any existing tools. This may be possible using sidestore's trick to connect to the device

[granite frigate]

that requires a pairing file

[grim sparrow]

yes

[fast gazelle]

how

one that uses a custom shader if possible

i have this extremely gorgeous shader written in metal that id love to put system wide

so real, non-gaussian blur only glass can be made

[magic hazel]

https://github.com/OpenSwiftUIProject/OpenSwiftUI

this is super cool

wonder if i can get it to work on ios 6

[lime pivot]

would be extremely cool but prolly needs a ton of runtime checks

note that @/#available doesn't work properly prior to iOS 8 or so

you need to do the @available guard to satisfy the compiler check, and then do a runtime check such as against kCFCoreFoundationVersion

[magic hazel]

it would require so much more than that

it would require me to write a full fleshed out backport of swift 3+ to swift 2.3

atp idk if its simpler to track down the api calls in swift's source and build a custom toolchain

the issue is whenever i try it's so overwhelming

swift's codebase is monumental

openswiftuis codebase is pretty large as well

i feel like it might be worth doing though

i dont t hink the project relies on stuff like concurrency

which is good

because i have no idea how i would even attempt to implement that in swift 2.3

rn ive just done like funni api renames but everything already fundamentally exists

either via obj c apis

or old swift apis

when were property wrappers introduced?

i think its possible i could maybe MAYBE get the first version of swift 3.0 preview to work on ios 6

with a custom toolchain

i already have a custom toolchain of swift 3.0 before the great renamings happened

that works

its a bit annoying to use though

ugh all of this would require so much wor

idek where to start

all for the purpose of getting away from uikit

i am hating uikit more by the day tho

i just fundmentally dislike the viewcontroller approach

its messy

swift 5.1

property wrappers

thats beyond even ios 7 iirc

swift 4 workson ios 7

[cloud yacht]

If I'm generating an IPA for sideloasing should I make a .tipa or .ipa?

Like should my tool output files in which extension?

[torn oriole]

If its specifically using functionality that trollstore signed apps would provide use TIPA

Otherwise its just an IPA

[harsh junco]

wtf, gnustep but for sw*ft!

[gentle grove]

i really need to set up lsp in my nvim sometime

[reef trail]

have a look at kickstart nvim, it's a bare bones config to setup the basics like lsp

[magic hazel]

how do you edit a mach-o binary's current_version and compatibilty version

i need someone to help me do a mass change to all my dylibs

[grim sparrow]

Doesn't trollstore consume both anyway

.tipa is just a way of saying "this wont work without trollstore"

[magic hazel]

i'm banging my head against a wall here

nothing online gives any useful information

vtool doesn't work, install_name_tool doesn't work

[wooden yarrow]

i think it's best to just write your own program with one of the mach-o parsing libs out there

either that or use a hex editor and a mach-o template and go to town

[magic hazel]

errr no

i ended up giving up on that train of thought anyways

[wooden yarrow]

honestly though someone should just write a mach-o editor tool that allows you to edit anything you'd like

[harsh junco]

Can’t vtool do this

[magic hazel]

i mean sure but it's meh

it also doesn't work properly for some reason

and it's pretty limited

there's already a mach-o editor btw

machoview

[wooden yarrow]

i think ipsw macho patch mod might

also vtool only seems to change some other version?

$ vtool
usage: vtool [-arch <arch>] ... <show_command> <file>
       vtool [-arch <arch>] ... <set_command> ... [-replace] [-output <output>] <file>
       vtool [-arch <arch>] ... <remove_command> ... [-output <output>] <file>
       vtool -help
  show_command is exactly one of:
    -show
    -show-build
    -show-source
    -show-space
  set_command is one or more of:
    -set-build-version <platform> <minos> <sdk> [-tool <tool> <version>] ...
    -set-build-tool <platform> <tool> <version>
    -set-version-min <platform> <minos> <sdk>
    -set-source-version <version>
  remove_command is one or more of:
    -remove-build-version <platform>
    -remove-build-tool <platform> <tool>
    -remove-source-versio

build and source versions

and platform versions

[grim sparrow]

i was thinking this

its like 20 lines of code to mmap in the macho header of a fiel

[floral notch]

0.11.3 made this super easy, no dependencies, put this in ~/.config/nvim/init.lua

vim.lsp.enable'clangd'
vim.lsp.config('clangd', {
    name = 'clangd',
    filetypes = {'c', 'cpp', 'objc', 'objcpp'},
    cmd = {'clangd', '--background-index'},
    on_attach = function(_, bufnr)
        local map = function(lhs, rhs) vim.keymap.set('n', lhs, rhs, {buffer=bufnr}) end
        map('gd', vim.lsp.buf.definition)      -- jump to definition (.m/.mm or framework header)
        map('gD', vim.lsp.buf.declaration)     -- jump to declaration (often the .h)
        map('gI', vim.lsp.buf.implementation)
        map('gr', vim.lsp.buf.references)
    end,
})

you will need to generate compile_commands.json and put it in the root dir of your project, i use https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear

[gentle grove]

Aren't you supposed to use nvim-lspconfig so you don't have to manually reimplement every single language server integratiom

[wooden yarrow]

true nvim enjoyers will do so anyways to configure it just how they like it

[floral notch]

idk i code in a finite number of programming languages

[indigo kraken]

you can edit this tool to only apply version the changes if you want, it’s really meant for changing the platform but also changes the current/compatibility_versions as well https://gist.github.com/dlevi309/b06e14607e4f7a9d2296145d0734bb32

@wind ravine THANK YOU, I HAVE HAD MINE STUCK ON FOREVER

[wind ravine]

When I was jb I could at least remove it w flex

Not on iOS 18

[fast gazelle]

i have this awesome shader

that if anyone can tell me

how to put it into cabackdroplayer et. al.

then we would have a more accurate than not liquid ass

i know for a fact that the gaussian blur is coming from the gpu

so there has to be a shader somewheere

[rocky oriole]

@orchid fulcrum did you ever figure out a way to bring the launchpad back on with the official macos tahoe release

also unrelated, but posterboard now exists in macos tahoe

don't think it was there before

[magic hazel]

spritekit works on ios 6

i knew it would

apple yet again having artificial limitations

getting it to work is slightly intrusive

you have to modify the mach-o files

but once you copy the frameworks into a local locatin

it works perfectly

exactly as you would expect

this is spritekit 1

im gonna try spritekit 2 next

[magic hazel]

using chatgpt to make me a build automation script

that way anyone can use it automagically

itll detect your sdk version and extract the frameworks then modify them

done

got a working script

does it all for yoiu

gonna try with xcode 6 beta now

this is so hype

ios 6 development is here fr

i wonder how many ios 7 "only" changes can be backported in this fashion

hell maybe i can even backport swift 3 like this

just find wherever the missing symbols are and copy over the system libraries

then again those aren't frameworks

rip

this is pretty huge tho

its pretty jank under the hood but one build script and it's all taken care of for you

[magic hazel]

is it illegal to provide apple's frameworks

[orchid fulcrum]

nope, the featureflag method is broken and they replaced it with hardcoded YES so while the code is still there it needs a tweak to be ran. i also tried the tweak idea to swap [spotlight sendLaunchAppsBrowsing] (new launchpad) and [Springboard toggleForReason:] (old lp) but i either couldn't do it because they are on different classes or because i couldn't figure the reasons

[orchid fulcrum]

it was there on 15.4

[robust radish]

what class/method is the hardcoded YES in

[orchid fulcrum]

its in a subroutine

the sub in the if returns 1

[magic hazel]

Either grab the iOS 7 sdk and put it in your sdk directory + set it to the currently used sdk in xcode OR just used xcode 5.1.1 if you don't care about swift (in that case use the nonswift version since the swift version makes patches to the corresponding swift library)

[robust radish]

i only had a beta4 Dock. I think a beta1 would work better

[rocky oriole]

ah ok

[rocky oriole]

damn, well if you ever end up figuring something out lmk

[orchid fulcrum]

what am i looking at ?

well obviously a bottom right hot corner toggling launchpad on the release macos. but wondering how

replacing the whole dock .app with an older one ?

[rocky oriole]

im gonna try this

[rocky oriole]

ok, I've extracted it from a 15.6 ipsw but I get the "can't be opened" error so more stuff has to be done

now i've gotten further, if you run the binary and allow it in settings it opens but gets killed immediatly

sigkill

[light owl]

@native dune Are you working yet

[native dune]

ARE YOU WORKING

[rocky oriole]

console shows the error CoreData: Unable to create token NSXPCConnection. NSXPCStoreServerEndpointFactory 0xc7d905ea0 -newEndpoint returned nil

whatever that means

i just disabled SIP to see what happens and now my mac keeps saying my password is wrong ?

thankfully i have a backup account so i was able to reset it but wtf

[grim sparrow]

oh ive actually seen this reported as a known bug in new macos

[rocky oriole]

huh, weird

[grim sparrow]

yuh

[rocky oriole]

ok @orchid fulcrum I have gotten the old launchpad to "open" on 26.0 but not how you expect it

I disabled SIP and added -arm64e_preview_abi as a boot arg for it to open, but for some reason, when you open the app or run the binary it will oddly just run the new lauchpad

see video

oh i just realized you were talking aboiut replacing the entire dock.app not launchpad.app but whatever

if you run it with rosetta it produces the same result, the boot arg just doesn't need to be added

[orchid fulcrum]

ah yeah the launchpad.app and apps.app do the same thing. post a notification called com.apple.launchpad.toggle

and dock.app handles that notification (so drawing/operating the launchpad)

[rocky oriole]

oh that makes more sense

now time to see if i can get it to run with the old dock.app then ig?

[orchid fulcrum]

ig its worth a try, if the "can't open the app" warning comes again maybe try to change the versions in the info.plist and resign it

[rocky oriole]

well shit it just reset my whole dock

thanks macos

[light owl]

No because im a university student whos being cooked with 830 lectures that i dont even go to anymore

[rocky oriole]

im giving up for now

[magic hazel]

Doing a final attempt to fix Swift 3 on iOS 6

Gonna manually patch out each and every missing symbol

and create a list

so that when i'm done I can do the same thing on swift 3 stable

and maybe even swift 4

so far it actually is working

got rid of munmap and it moved onto the next symbol

[magic hazel]

LMAO

I DID IT

I GOT SWIFT 3 TO WORK ON IOS 6

PROPER SWIFT 3

well

3.0db1

BUT STILL

LMAOOOOO

i had to remove like 5 things

💀

[magic hazel]

@radiant idol i made swift 3.0 preview 1 work

working on getting swift 3.0

[magic hazel]

mismatch errors

going for swift 3.1 instead

closer commit match

if this works

its very possibl

ethese

20 odd lines of cod

are al that stands between swift 3.1

and maybe even swift 4.2

then again ios 11 sdk

idk

MAYBE ios 10 sdk will allow some funni business

oh wait nvm

you can still target ios 10

which has armv7

lmao

HAHAHAHHA

SWIFT 3.1 WORKS

FUCK YES

https://github.com/JWIMaster/Swift-3.1-for-iOS-6

[lime pivot]

solid work

[magic hazel]

This is huge

im not stopping here

its very very possible swift 4 works

afterall

ios 6 vs 7

shown to be v similar

now

techincally

i may have bypassed some interesting stuff

like munmap adn some dealloc methods

but

should be alr

[primal flint]

I'm trying to use Cephei in my tweak (kind of new to preferences stuff tbh) and it seems like a lot of apps can't read the HBPreferences keys at all. Is this something to do with the sandbox restrictions in Cephei 1.12+? I'm not trying to access Apple preferences or anything, just my own tweak prefs :(

Is this because my filter is com.apple.UIKit or did I make some other silly mistake? Here's a code snippet for demo purposes:

static HBPreferences* globalPrefs;
#define getPrefs() [HBPreferences preferencesForIdentifier:@"com.uint2048.runasdate"]

%ctor {
  globalPrefs = getPrefs();
  if (globalPrefs == nil) {
    syslog(LOG_ERR, "RunAsDate error: Failed to find preferences!");
  }
}

void the_one_big_beautiful_time() {
  NSString* bundleIdentifier;
  NSDictionary* prefs;

  bundleIdentifier = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier];
  if (!bundleIdentifier) {
    syslog(LOG_ERR, "RunAsDate: Failed to find bundle identifier");
    return;
  }
  
  if (globalPrefs == nil) {
    globalPrefs = getPrefs();
    if (globalPrefs == nil) {
        syslog(LOG_ERR, "RunAsDate error: Failed to find preferences in bundle %s!", [bundleIdentifier UTF8String]);
        return;
    }
    syslog(LOG_ERR, "RunAsDate: Loaded preferences in bundle %s!", [bundleIdentifier UTF8String]);
  }
  
  prefs = [globalPrefs objectForKey:bundleIdentifier];
  if (!prefs) {
    NSArray* bundles = [[globalPrefs dictionaryRepresentation] allKeys];
    syslog(LOG_ERR, "RunAsDate: Bundle %s is not in set of bundles %s", [bundleIdentifier UTF8String], [[bundles description] UTF8String]);
    return;
  }

  // ...
}

@lime pivot If you have any insight, I'd appreciate it especially since Cephei killed the queen

[magic hazel]

if this works in xcode 10.1 maximum macos maybe get raised from 10.13.6 all the way to 10.14 or 15

ngl we've had a huge improvement tho

[primal flint]

that's kind of crazy you got that working

[magic hazel]

natively you wouldve had to use obj c in xcode 5.1.1 on max 10.10

[magic hazel]

i got swift 2.3 working ages ago

turns out it always did

💀

natively

no mods

literally just change info.plist

nobody tried it

[primal flint]

lol

[magic hazel]

swift 3 not so much

but ive patched it

[primal flint]

why didn't apple allow that then

[magic hazel]

absolutely no clue

ykw's funny

in xcode beta 6 1-3

swift 1

native build target for ios 6

god knows why they removed it

whats funnt

is at the start

i thought that was it

maybe i wouldve been content in another universe

like everyone else

it's so funny to me that this key piece of info for legacy dev's is just.. missing forever

now there's a slight downside to using my method for swift 3

it's not quite as clean

but it may as well be

essientially you'll just replace the system libraries in the sdk w my custom ones

but there's like

3

and then ur done

and u can compile from source

so i don't have to worry about apple getting mad at me

[primal flint]

in the sdk? not even on the device?

[magic hazel]

yep

that's it

no

not

sdk

mis spoke

toolchain

[primal flint]

ah

[magic hazel]

but still

it's pissfuck easy compared to other stuff i tried

[primal flint]

sometime you should do a tutorial post in r/legacyjailbreak

[magic hazel]

like manually patching the binary

i already have a writeup for how i got swift 2.3 working

once im done finding the highest swift i can get w this new method

ill make a new writeup

crazy how apple could've omitted 30 lines and lost like 4 sub types and a memory management method but kept full ios 6 support

also for ppl more technical than i, is there anything bad that could come of using free() in place of munmap()

grrrrr

the new timer method is an ios 10 sdk method

alr so ill still have to patch that in sadly

that's alr

mark it as nonobjc and should be good to go

[primal flint]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/30219650

Not sure whether it is the case on iOS but free() might not actually give memory back to the OS

[magic hazel]

i mean

munmap doesn't exist in. ios 6

like at all

so

there must have been some way

i mean it wasn't even called until the 2nd final commit of swift 3.0db1

so i doubt i broke anything

it's only related to dispatch anyways

[primal flint]

seems like it's a wrapper for mach_vm_deallocate in ios 10 kernel:

https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/tree/xnu-3789.70.16/bsd/kern/kern_mman.c#L732

[magic hazel]

hmmmm

might have to replace that.. it's fine

if it's a mere wrapper

i can probably just reimplement the wrapper stub

call it something else

and then use it

in place of munmap

idk

we'll see

might not actually cause issues

ive had this app running a timer loop on a dispatch queue for 20 minutes now

on 256mb of ram, if it were gonna crash, it would've crashed

memory usage seems perfectly normal

[lime pivot]

I don't think we got this working on iOS 15+ IIRC

[primal flint]

Oh really? Yeah, this is iOS 15... I was assuming the 1.17 documentation would largely hold for 2.0 :(

[lime pivot]

docs are accurate, other than it not working I guess

never finished working on that. sorry I don't have anything to help here

[primal flint]

Oh should have checked the issues tab, would have found https://github.com/hbang/libcephei/issues/64 ... I assumed it was just that I didn't know what I was doing... swallowing my head

[lime pivot]

that comment there kinda works, not super recommended, but I guess it's the only working option

you would also need the other half of it, but I can't find if anyone wrote that down properly

the other side of it that goes in the prefs bundle classes and writes to the plist directly

[radiant idol]

Congrats

[primal flint]

Hmmm... I wish I knew from a technical perspective why exactly it isn't working in Cephei on iOS 15+ but I guess if you knew that you probably would have fixed it. It's ironic that I'm trying to use Cephei instead of just writing to a plist in the first place because of your blog article from 10 years ago claiming that Cephei existed to solve this exact problem: https://adamdemasi.com/2015/02/15/settings-the-right-way-redux.html

As it turned out, retrieving tweak settings from NSUserDefaults as outlined in the post I wrote a few months ago proved to not be very robust and still had problems within a sandboxed process.

[timid furnace]

Ok I am an iOS developer

It's probably bullshit if you're offering that much though

Is this for onlyfans

Or any other pimp stuff

Because that's what everyone who offers 1k for a jb tweak wants

Get the dude out of here I don't want him in development

[native dune]

you told me it is not possible
also you are not developer

[rocky oriole]

just because im not a developer doesn't mean I don't know anything iOS related lmao

Yeah see how its me always fixing ur shit

Fuck you

Fuck you

[rocky oriole]

Ok

[hexed knot]

Fuck the police

[light owl]

@native dune Whats the move btw

[hexed knot]

Hopefully that's not too political

[native dune]

[heavy zephyr]

bro I need a new IDE that's not PyCharm or VSCode.. but I also don't want to start getting into neovim 😭

[light owl]

Im actually not planning to work on anything today im just asking what the move is

[native dune]

keep vscodemaxxing

[hexed knot]

Vscode is fine why do you need a new one

[heavy zephyr]

fuck that company and fuck that ide

[native dune]

use vscodium then

[hexed knot]

It's open source

[light owl]

Open source software always sucks

[native dune]

use zed

[light owl]

@native dune Are you done your school work yet

[hexed knot]

Ig that's why nocturne is oss

[light owl]

Yeah

It sucks

[native dune]

haha

[light owl]

But people only have like 3 options so they dont really have a choice

[hexed knot]

That's why we use nocturne-private

[heavy zephyr]

I have been using zed, but falls short since there's no markdown support still. I can use it for most things but no LLVM and no markdown gets kind of annoying

[hexed knot]

Tf is zed

[heavy zephyr]

https://zed.dev

[hexed knot]

I'm assuming it's rust

And ai shit

[light owl]

@native dune is ios 18.6.2 trollstore out yet

[native dune]

all the ai stuff can be disabled

[heavy zephyr]

Mostly Rust, and there's some easy to disable assistant crap. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed

[native dune]

yeah

[light owl]

Okay thanks im updating now

[hexed knot]

I'm a genius

How did I know it's rust and ai

[light owl]

Wheres your genius role then

[heavy zephyr]

Because startups and funding

[light owl]

They be giving genius to like everyone now

[hexed knot]

Good question man

[light owl]

Even bottom of the barrel people

Like maxine

[native dune]

if maxine can have genius you can too

[heavy zephyr]

They haven't given it to me tbf

[hexed knot]

No dude I have no idea about jbing now except it's dead

Trollstore, mdc, cowabunga, no idea what any of that stuff is

I think mdc and cowabunga are plist editors

Mdc might be the exploit for cowabunga

[jagged willow]

give tree genius trust

[heavy zephyr]

I probably wouldn't do anything but send exactly 1 more meme than I currently do every other day

[heavy zephyr]

was trying to look it up, I guess you're not far off? https://github.com/leminlimez/Cowabunga

it's basically the on-device version of blacktop's ipsw but like less exciting

[sonic totem]

???

[heavy zephyr]

am I wrong though?

[grim sparrow]

well, one is for using funny workarounds to write files out of sandbox, the other is for the analysis of firmware images

[heavy zephyr]

intent is different, but they both can handle the same mods afaik.. Hence the "less exciting" bit

[quaint rain]

If that’s bottom of the barrel I’m the bottom of a fucking cardboard box

[grim sparrow]

ipsw doesn't handle any mods?

Brain just *left*

[magic hazel]

Success at last

[magic hazel]

'

I checked I’m allowed to distribute these

Warning: do not use yet

There’s issue

U can use w swift 3.0.2

But not swift 3.1 yet

I have to figure out some issues

Idk if it’s even possible to fix

Without a custom tool chain

Rn you don’t even nedd that

You just drag those into the Xcode tool chain and compile

Works like magic

[light owl]

@kind herald Hey suspicious files i think

[magic hazel]

It's open source lmao

https://github.com/JWIMaster/Swift-3.1-for-iOS-6

[light owl]

Me when i upload malicious files to github under my own account and claim they are not suspcious

[magic hazel]

lol

[light owl]

@native dune Yo why do we read the version info from version.json but not use it in the app

Are you stupid

[native dune]

Forgot lowkey

oh actually i do have a reason

bc it was temporary

[lime pivot]

life was simpler 10 years ago

I had a sandbox workaround half working, but I never had a chance or motivation to finish it

[magic hazel]

yeah alr just

don't use it

swift 2.3 is so much more consistent

unless i can iron out the buggyness

which would be very nice

maybe i can

i think if i'm gonna put effort into getting a version to work swift 3.1 isn't a bad place to start

[magic hazel]

i bet its the unmap thing

[magic hazel]

gonna try swift 3.0

and hope dearly that it functions properly

bcus rn uikit is kinda fucked up on ios 6

man oh man apple does not want me to have swift 3 on ios 6

i mean technically swift 3 works fine

it's just libraries it interfaces w

there's also substantial issues with how it interfaces with objective c classes for some odd reason

however, lucky for me

the swift toolchain is built for xcode past 3.0

so no matter the version of 3 i get working

you should be able to just, use it on most modern macos versions

technically i'm testing 3.0.2

after that if it's borked i'll be testing 3.0db6 as a last resort

[magic hazel]

yep nah it still has the same issues

man oh man this is not good

[slim bramble]

#development is becoming @magic hazel’s devlogs

😭

[magic hazel]

indeed

reason being that i know that when i go looking for stuff and i can't find it i find it super annoying bcus i know ppl have done it before

so hopefully the next person who does smthing like this finds all my shit

and has an easier time

im actually mighty stumped here tho

import UIKit
import Darwin

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    let a = UIButton(type: .custom)
    let stack = UIStackView()
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
            self.view.backgroundColor = .red
        })
        
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 4) {

        a.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        a.backgroundColor = UIColor.gray.withAlphaComponent(0.4)
        
        stack.axis = .vertical
        stack.distribution = .fill
        stack.alignment = .center
        stack.addArrangedSubview(a)
        
        view.addSubview(stack)
        
        view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: a, attribute: .width, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: view, attribute: .width, multiplier: 0.25, constant: 0))
        view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: a, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: a, attribute: .width, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
        view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: a, attribute: .centerX, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: view, attribute: .centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
        view.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: a, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: view, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))

        
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.    
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    
    override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
        a.setTitle("\(a.frame.width)", for: .normal)
        a.layer.cornerRadius = a.frame.width*0.5
    }

}```

can anyone tell me why the frame would be percieved as 0? keep in mind i am using OAStackView, however, it functions just fine on ios 7+

also it works fine in swift 2 as well

i'm truly stumped

and it's only when it's inside the viewstack

It's the 2nd last issue i'm facing

i mean realistically it's an easy bypass

but it's unexpected behaviour

and it's rather annoying

i doubt it has to do with unmapping memory

actually now that's the only thing left

i fixed the other issue

now gotta hope and pray i can use swift 3.0.2 easily enough on newer xcode versions

if so i can actually get off high sierra

fixed it

just run layout subviews lmao

if needed

lets go

swift 3.0.2 stable

i think

gotta push it really hard now

[magic hazel]

well, building with the toolchain fails, but archiving doesn't

got chatgpt to make a script to cover up the messy parts

will send in a sec along with new repo and the rest of the stuff

https://github.com/JWIMaster/Swift-3.0.2-for-iOS-6

Has all the binaries, and build files for you

Should be EXTREMELY easy to use now

Now, time to test on newer Xcode versions

After that, writeup time

[magic hazel]

Nope

Won't work on Xcode 9+

Welp, I guess i'm forced to try and patch swift 3.1 now

Shouldn't be appalling hopefully

[fading shell]

<@&355174844205367317>

[primal flint]

Bear in mind that I have no idea what I'm saying here but if I just really hated security, could I hypothetically use something like https://github.com/opa334/libSandy to extend the sandbox in some way to make it work

[magic hazel]

going for the big guns today

swift 4.0

gonna start off just removing bad types and then go in for the big fix

objc_allocwithzone

if i can get this working, it's highly likely you'll be able to use xcode 12, 13 even 16 to develop applications

Swift 4.0 is supported in every version of modern Xcode to my knowledge

however the replacements needed to be made are far more intrusive, so i will be recommending you install the open source toolchain and edit it

and by more intrusive i just mean you'll be replacing the entire compiler

theoretically though swift 4 may work to boot using the previous method so long as you do absolutely nothing even remotely obj c related

[magic hazel]

LMAOOAOAOAOAOAOAOA

SWIFT 4 WORKS

not fully yet

i have to modify t he compiler now

but like

just swift on its own

actually works

bro this is so fucking cooked 💀

if this compiler fix actually does end up fixing objc_allocwithzone which im 99% sure it will

then

swift 4.0.2 is gonna be stable and working on ios 6 💀

[magic hazel]

I DID IT

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

SWIFT 4 FULLY FUNCTIONING

OH MY GOD

[drifting dust]

Made a layered icon for Apollo, is there any way to link the resulting .icon file into the apollo IPA so it's dynamic like this?

@wide gyro any ideas since you were the one to make the liquid glass patch? I can share the .icon with you if you want, it's a little bit janky in some places, but honestly it looks really good to my eyes even so

or sorry actually you didn't make it, my bad, @dankrichtofen on github made/packaged it, but maybe you have some ideas anyway how it could be inserted?

[wide gyro]

I made the technique for the patch, but not the patch itself. Those icon files look pretty cool though!

[lime pivot]

was hoping to avoid dependencies (people hate me for Cephei being a dependency/having dependencies in the first place) but maybe it's useful

[wide gyro]

Cephei was great and amazing for the tweaks that needed it, but I think Springboard tweaks would have been better off using NSUserDefaults which never seemed to be the recommendation

[drifting dust]

Ah I see, well, thanks anyway, I’ve been using the patch and it’s great, just the icon missing now to really make it feel like a brand new app

I couldn’t find the thread on GitHub for a while but finally I have and shared it there, maybe someone in it knows how to patch this in

[lime pivot]

sure, I still think it's good to use for consistency if you depend on Cephei for some other thing anyway

if you're not in the sandbox you have either option, if you are then the options are limited

and I don't like the option of directly reading the NSDictionary because that's slower than using the cfprefsd in-memory cache

[magic hazel]

yikes

so for swift 4.0.3 i needed to rewrite the emitobjc call function once

not too bad

now i've had to completely change it

all to try and desperately avoid objc_allocwithzone

[echo raptor]

holy sex

what are the supported Xcode versions?

[magic hazel]

Rn 9.2

And below

Working on 4.13

[echo raptor]

ah ic

lit

[magic hazel]

swift 4.1.3 works

swift 4.2 time

[radiant idol]

@magic hazel I feel like it would be productive for you to try and make a test app that's not just a changing background, perhaps a button that changes the background and changes the text of a label or something

something more complicated so you can gague the understanding of how usable the swift patches are

[magic hazel]

Nah that’s just the visual stuff

There’s a bunch of crash tests running in app delegate

Like memory filling and thread tests

[radiant idol]

no I get that

I'm saying to do a more comprehensive visual test in order to make sure the APIs still function correctly

[magic hazel]

oh yeah i have

there's some oddities

really the only thing that's kinda borked is frames

but as long as you run view.layoutifneeded

then everything works great

oh yeah swift 4.2 works lmao

disable enable bitcode tho

it breaks everything

Xcode 26 works!!!

Haven't tried armv7 yet

Nvm

Xcode 26 is being very annoying

https://github.com/JWIMaster/Swift-4.2.4-for-iOS-6

release with binaries eta

i encourage anyone who has the time to try it out

It should in theory work on all xcode versions

post xcode 8

all you need is the open source swift toolchain which is easily accessible on swift's website

each folder has a name directing you to put the files where they belong

if you have any experience using a toolchain in xcode it should be trivial

[magic hazel]

Xcode 10.1 works on macOS 10.14

Maybe 10.15

going to try Xcode 11.3.1

Did swift stop packaging the Swift library in Swift 5?

Whenever they did is the last version I can actually get to work

Tho past Swift 4 the codebase HUGELY expands

[magic hazel]

If i get Swift 5 and 6 working there's no real reason why openswiftui wouldn't work

It doesn't rely on UIKit at all from what I can see

Xcode 11.3.1 works

Confirmed

Yep so swift 5 is packaged with the ipa

If I can actually port that shit might get real

OpenSwiftUI for all devices

Swift 5 works on iOS 7

Awesome

So it'll work on iOS 6 probably

lol this is actually becoming so crazy

Technically yes this is swift 5.1

However

Wait I j ust realised

You can now use Big Sur

💀

[magic hazel]

I can confirm swift 4 on iOS 6 is fully production ready and only has minor quirks related to iOS 6 UIKit

But I can tell you that this development workflow is substantially more modern than anything that came before it

[light owl]

@native dune wyd wya wtm is it working are you working does she love you yet

[magic hazel]

Swift 5.1 is almost certain to function which is exciting

The only issue, is that Xcode handily provides an API limit point for Swift 4.2

For minor Swift 5 version's you're not so lucky

Understandably

[lament mica]

quick question— can I symbolicate a large spindump (think multiple dylibs) with a bunch of dSYM files in bulk?

[magic hazel]

Time to do Swift 5.1

I think my absolute peak maximum I'm going to be able to get working is Swift 5.6.1

Xcode 13 is the last version to support an armv7 target

Then again, I might be able to just use the open souce toolchain

[magic hazel]

Swift 5 works

[floral notch]

yo, in palera1n rootless, or rootless in general, how do you call system? https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/system.3.html

i used to do this before, but i guess thats broken now:

int (*system)(const char *) = dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "system");

[magic hazel]

https://github.com/JWIMaster/Swift-5.1.5-for-iOS-6

[floral notch]

it always returns 0x7f00

do i have to load something in from libjailbreak or something

[radiant idol]

not directly related to what you're saying, but for what purpose do you need system?

[floral notch]

to run random shell commands like find, ls, killall, etc

[radiant idol]

gotcha, I mean from what I understand nowadays the most common way to do it is to use posix_spawn or NSTask

[magic hazel]

When did Xcode remove armv7

[radiant idol]

system is convenient in that it's just one simple command, but

[magic hazel]

And was it Xcode or the sdk

[floral notch]

ohhh interesting. okay, yeah posix_spawn sounds nice and portable thanks ill try that

[radiant idol]

Impressive work, but your commit histories are really messed up 😅
Why not fork the Swift repo and and commit your new changes on that fork?

[magic hazel]

Because it’s too messy that way

The swift build script does suoer funk stuff

Every time I try and do that it overwrites my changes

[radiant idol]

Feel free to ask any questions, I have some examples of posix_spawn usage in my GitHub repos if interested

[radiant idol]

Hm, are you not able to edit the build script as well?

[magic hazel]

It’s so complex that I don’t want to touch it

Swift is held together with tape

Especially the build

[radiant idol]

Do you have the link to it? Just curious

The build script

[magic hazel]

yep

https://github.com/JWIMaster/Swift-5.1.5-for-iOS-6/blob/master/utils/build-script

1200 line build script 💀

i mean its a toolchain so expected

but still

[radiant idol]

I mean we're talking about an entire language and toolchain, so

yeah

[magic hazel]

but still

[floral notch]

i gravitated towards system because that's what Lua uses, along with popen

system https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/v5.4/loslib.c#L132-L139
popen https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/v5.4/liolib.c#L59-L60

[magic hazel]

im sure you can see why its kinda unapproachable

also update-checkout is super cooked on the more modern versions

im so so happy that apple actually archives their work tho

basically every preview version, every dependency has it's own branch, its magical

first time ever that someone has actually made a build process logical

rather than "erm you figure it out"

[radiant idol]

Reasonable, I gotcha
From what I see, though, it's either deprecated or obsoleted, you're not supposed to use it
and I think (from what I remember), the jailbreak has to patch something to get system to actually work, whereas posix_spawn/NSTask work just fine (given that you have the right entitlements of course)

[radiant idol]

Fair enough, I would say that you should note that in your (potential) writeup, it could be disconcerting for a person looking at the repo for the first time

[magic hazel]

yeah dw i'm so happy i did a writeup bcus i basically still copy paste commands from there 💀

some modifications

bcus modern swift

[radiant idol]

Nice 👍

[magic hazel]

anyways gonna put up the prebuilt binaries now

hoping my instructions are fairly simple

[radiant idol]

Make sure you have permission to host them

[magic hazel]

apache license

ill note my modifications for all the repos soonish

just been too busy on this moving train of version upgrades

[radiant idol]

I hope you're stopping at Swift 5?

lol

[magic hazel]

This is Swift 5.1.5

Next up is swift 5.10

fully modern swift 5

then

i haevnt looked yet

but

possibly

swift 6

cant say anything for sure yet

i have to check certain things havent changed

[radiant idol]

I sincerely doubt modern Swift 6 features would work, such as Swift concurrency

[magic hazel]

oh i wouldnt be so sure

💀

now knowing how swift works better under the hood

[radiant idol]

I mean I'm not sure how Swift concurrency works under the hood, but idk

[magic hazel]

i suspect it is very possible if they havent changed out how core parts of swift work that it will actually work

the easiest modifications are just the type ones

remove types that dont exist

piss easy

the hard one was genobjc in irgen

that was tough

had to rewrite a good portion of it

switching munmap to free has in my testing seemingly had 0 consequences

which is great

did a bunch of memory fill tests they all worked

[radiant idol]

mm

[magic hazel]

https://github.com/JWIMaster/Swift-5.1.5-for-iOS-6/releases/tag/0.0.1

you have to use the build script to build tho

its super easy to use tho

otherwise you're in for pain

you can build from xcode asw i think

build script also doesnt require a signing id

thats kinda an old xcode problem tho

i left it in there regardless

you can archive from xcode just fine tho

thats all the script does

xcodebuild doesn't work w a custom toolchain tho

only archive

[radiant idol]

I'm just wondering how janky this all is - like do you have issues with autocomplete, etc?

[magic hazel]

none

works perfectly

you would not notice

everything works as if it were native

[radiant idol]

autocomplete may suggest a function or something that doesn't exist in iOS 6 though 🤔

[magic hazel]

well yes

not a function

every swift function exists

then you're worrying about uikit apis

thats just normal tho

[radiant idol]

right, that's what I mean

[magic hazel]

then again

if i can port swift 6

potentially

[radiant idol]

in that case you would have to starrt removing things manually

[magic hazel]

without knowing much about it

nah

thats not in the swift source rlly

its more to do w xcode sdk

i mean i could

but

[radiant idol]

no yeah I mean for a fully working build process

[magic hazel]

i wont

it works fully already

just be mindful

of what you use

[radiant idol]

🤷‍♂️

[magic hazel]

also if you set target to ios 8 which you can do in xcode 11.3 its basically the same

also if you use my swiftcompatkit

and uicompatkit

you can just ignore all of it

conditional compiling

just code as you usually would

plan is to get openswiftui working asw

swiftui on ios 6+

idk how much stuff it uses from uikit under the hood but im hoping nothing thats super api constrained

[radiant idol]

well I'm sure not everything is working, idk

[magic hazel]

what like

api wise

or swift wise

[radiant idol]

yeah

API

[magic hazel]

if you write using ios 6 uikit

which

is basically modern uikit

it works fine

[radiant idol]

🤷‍♂️
