Typical distribution methods people attempt (and issues)

• Jailbreak tweaks/repo installs: Installing via Cydia/Zebra repositories on jailbroken devices — technically straightforward but requires a compatible jailbreak and exposes device to security risks.

• Re-signed game binaries + helper app: Re-signing the target game with a matching certificate and injecting a library or helper can allow memory manipulation, but this is complex and breaks updates and code signature protections.
• Using emulators or macOS tools: Some developers analyze iOS game memory using iOS simulators, reverse-engineering tools, or hooking frameworks on macOS, but behavior differs from real devices.
