Once the modified IPA is packed and signed, it is ready for deployment. You can install it onto your iOS device using your preferred sideloading utility: Sideloadly Xcode (Devices and Simulators window) Apple Configurator Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you prefer a visual interface and want to avoid the command line, Sideloadly is the easiest utility for injecting dylibs. Download and install on your Windows PC or Mac.
First, unzip the IPA:
./optool install -c load -p "@executable_path/mycustom.dylib" -t Payload/MyApp.app/MyApp
optool install -c load -p "@executable_path/YourLibrary.dylib" -t Payload/TargetApp.app/TargetApp Use code with caution. Step 5: Resign the IPA Inject Dylib Into Ipa

To bypass these, attackers resort to more advanced techniques: using dlopen() at runtime (if a writable segment exists), patching dyld itself on jailbroken devices, or using ptrace and syscall hooks to evade detection. Once the modified IPA is packed and signed,
(Note: If you are doing this manually on a non-jailbroken device, you may also need to provision the app with a matching mobileprovision profile). Step 6: Re-pack the IPA File
Copy your compiled libInjected.dylib into the TargetApp.app directory. First, unzip the IPA:
To master dylib injection, it's essential to understand its foundational components. An iOS application (an IPA file) is essentially a compressed containing the application's binary executable, resources, and metadata. A dylib (dynamic library) is the iOS equivalent of a Windows DLL or Linux SO file, containing code and resources that can be shared and loaded by programs at runtime.
