The Basics

We all have to start somewhere. So let’s start with our development environment.

To make tweaks you will need to install Theos, a command line based compiling tool which will handle compiling, packaging, and installing our tweaks onto our devices. To install Theos on your iOS, macOS, Linux, or Windows device, please follow this guide.

Once Theos is installed you’re ready to start making tweaks. You will need a good text editor to edit and create the tweak; personally, I recommend Atom. It’s sleek and easy to use compared to others.

It’s a good idea to have some understanding of Objective-C when developing tweaks, but for this series it will be assumed you have little to no experience at all. If you do have some then this should be a breeze!
