# Using tweak deb to patch app

## Method 1: [iPAPatcher ](https://github.com/brandonplank/iPAPatcher/releases)by brandonplank

### What is iPAPatcher?

iPAPatcher is a patching utility that lets you load dylibs into IPA application files to create tweaked apps. It is developed by developer and security researcher Brandon Plank. It is **not** a sideloading utility that signs and installs IPA files on your mobile device. iPAPatcher is a GUI for insert\_dylib – a program that forces an app to load a tweak’s dylib file.

In layman’s terms, it is a “tweak injector” that loads tweaks in stock App Store applications.

### Limitations

* Tweaks that hook into system services will not work on a non-jailbroken device.
* Some tweaks require more than one dylib file or bundles to function properly. 
  * > Workaround: Insert bundle file inside Payload root file, zip and convert back to ipa then inject the dylib that comes with the bundle

### Requirements

* Decrypted IPA file
* [iPAPatcher ](https://github.com/brandonplank/iPAPatcher/releases/tag/1.0)by brandonplank
  * macOS >= 10.10
  * Xcode Command Line Tools

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sideloading.gitbook.io/sideloading-master-guide/how-tos/using-tweak-deb-to-patch-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
