[Feature] export/import app data

Open castdrian opened this issue 1 year ago • 16 comments

since the author of https://github.com/khcrysalis/Feather/issues/14 closed the issue, I've actually got a good use case for this:

I debug my Theos tweaks on jailed environments frequently, and on more than one occasion accidentally wiped the user defaults with no easy way to restore, so being able to just reinstall with backed up defaults would probably make the lives of tweak devs a lot easier

This would be useful. Since sideloaded app cannot connect to iCloud (even paid certs with icloud support), we can export app data from one device to another.

Maybe try my tweak. Its not perfect but it worked for the apps I use

Can I send it to you somewhere else?

binnichtaktiv avatar May 10 '25 23:05 binnichtaktiv

No. But is there a github repository for it that contains its source code?

Yes but its still private. I invited you I hope thats okay

binnichtaktiv avatar May 10 '25 23:05 binnichtaktiv

Well I would've preferred it to be public, incase of potential malicious stuff

Its just ugly and trash code thats why its private, but if you only want to test it if its public then I can set it to public

I used your tweak before, great tweak saved me a hassle with a few games. But unfortunately it does not work with everything. Sometimes the app just crash (Apollo for example).

The approach is the same as a certain sideloading app that hands out stolen signing assets, it’s nice to see that someone wrote an open source version of that

How can we determine if a modified ipa, like YT, or a social app, is safe from this stealing sideloading issue? Is there a specific framework to look for? Or we just trust in the community hoping they are sharing trustworthy ipas?

I have to check it. Is it only apollo?

What do you mean? I think castdrian meant free certs that get leaked.

Apollo (wanted to easily migrate my stats and and settings), Noteshelf3, ChatGPT (I wanted to copy my chats without signing up).

Oh I thought that it was like a hidden dylib that export the app data.
