pyzule

an azule "clone" written in python3. pyzule aims to be faster, have more features, have better support for manually modified dylibs, and overall have less issues than azule. officially supports linux, macos, and wsl. tested on arch linux and macos mojave w/ intel cpu.

features

not many right now, but will probably add some in the future if i need them.

open an issue for any feature requests!

• generate and use shareable .pyzule files to configure IPAs!
• inject deb, dylib, framework, bundle, and appex files and automatically fix dependencies when possible
• automatically fix dependencies on CydiaSubstrate, librocketbootstrap, libmryipc, libhdev, and Cephei*
• copy any unknown file/folder types to app root
• use a custom compression level
• change app name, version, and bundle id
• add custom url schemes
• change app icon
• enable documents support
• customize MinimumOSVersion
• remove UISupportedDevices
• remove watch app
• remove all app extensions (or only encrypted ones)
• fakesign the output ipa/app
• use custom entitlements for the app
• merge a plist into the app's existing Info.plist
• inject into @executable_path instead of @rpath
• use substitute (open source) instead of CydiaSubstrate

installation

macOS instructions

1. open Terminal. this is where you'll be running every command.
2. install Xcode from the app store (if not already installed)
3. Install the Xcode cli tools (if not already installed or if pyzule suddenly stopped working) by running:
   • xcode-select --install
   • sudo xcodebuild -license
4. install pyzule:

   bash -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asdfzxcvbn/pyzule/main/install-pyzule.sh)"

linux/wsl instructions

1. on debian-based systems (like ubuntu), run the following:

   sudo apt update ; sudo apt install unzip curl python3 python3-venv

   on arch based systems, use:

   sudo pacman -Syu unzip curl python

2. install pyzule:

   bash -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asdfzxcvbn/pyzule/main/install-pyzule.sh)"
