It was long due, but Needle v0.1.1 finally introduces an integration for Cydia Substrate & Theos. You can now use the hooking/theos/theos_tweak module to create/edit/install/disinstall Tweaks, and the hooking/theos/list_tweaks to list all your active Tweaks.

And you don’t have to install Theos manually, since it’s been added to the list of dependencies that are going to be automatically installed on your device when the global option SETUP_DEVICE is set to True.

In addition to the Theos integration, this version brings:

  • improvements to Needle’s core that makes it even more modular
  • a module to print the app’s view hierarchy with Frida (hooking/frida/script_dump-ui)
  • a module to automatically install your Burp Proxy CA Certificate (comms/certs/install_ca_burp)
  • an improved version of storage/data/files_cachedb and storage/data/files_cachedb, that now will automatically print the row counts for standard tables
  • a module to print the details of the certificate of the specified server (comms/certs/view_cert)
  • an improved binary/pull_ipa, that now can directly pull the binary as well as the .ipa file

You can grab the new version from Github, and remember to also follow @mwrneedle on Twitter!
