  "github_readme_excerpt": "# ipapatch\na cli tool to patch IPAs and their plugins, fixing problems with the share sheet, widgets, VPNs, and more!\n\nit uses [zxPluginsInject](https://github.com/asdfzxcvbn/zxPluginsInject) by default, which is a rewrite of choco\u0027s original patch.\n\ndue to being written in go and having **native load command injection**, it\u0027s fully cross-compatible with macOS, linux, and iOS! (windows untested, but it should work correctly from v2.1.0)\n\nyou can find the latest binaries on the [release page](https://github.com/asdfzxcvbn/ipapatch/releases/latest).\n\n# requirements\n~~ipapatch only has 1 external dependency: the `zip` command. ipapatch actually could be adjusted to not require it, but it would break some pretty obscure tools and iOS internals, and `zip` is practically available everywhere, so this shouldn\u0027t be an issue.~~\n\nv2.0.0 has removed the dependency on `zip`! i figured it would be nice to just test whether or not this will REALLY noticably break things. for now, ipapatch is a fully portable, native binary!\n\nv2.1.0 fixed an issue where the output ipa wasnt able to be extracted by some signing apps and other tools. you can also pass `--zip` to use the `zip` command, although this isn\u0027t really required anymore\n\n# usage\n```bash\n$ ipapatch --help\nusage: ipapatch [-h/--help] --input \u003cpath\u003e [--output \u003cpath] [--dylib \u003cpath\u003e] [--inplace] [--noconfirm] [--plugins-only] [--zip] [--version]\n\nflags:\n  --input path      the path to the ipa file to patch\n  --output path     the path to the patched ipa file to create\n  --dylib path      the path to the dylib to use instead of the embedded zxPluginsInject\n  --inplace         takes priority over --output, use this to overwrite the input file\n  --noconfirm       skip interactive confirmation when not using --inplace, overwriting a file that already exists, etc\n  --plugins-only    only inject into plugin binaries (not the main executable)\n  --zip             use the zip cli tool to remove files (shouldnt be needed anymore)\n\ninfo:\n ",
