Allow xcode to start a custom debugserver with root privileges to debug iOS apps.
Currently only tested on the following jailbroken devices:
- iPhone 6s 14.2
- iPhone 7 13.6.1
- iPhone 11 Pro 14.2
Theoretically supports iOS10 and above devices, including A12.
Usually, when we use xcode for real machine debugging, there are the following limitations:
- The debugger can only be started with
mobilepermissions - The debugger that can be started can only be
/Developer/usr/bin/debugserver
Based on the above limitations, the following problems arise:
- Unable to debug system processes, such as:
Cydia、Safiri - Unable to debug the app downloaded from
AppStore, the app needs to be re-signed after smashing the shell
To solve the above problems, you need to use debugserver with high permissions. For the specific configuration process, you can refer to the article Tips and Problem Handling for Configuring DebugServer + lldb Debugging Environment under iOS12.
To solve the above limitations, you need to install this tweak.
After installing this tweak, it will allow developers to use xcode to start a custom debugserver with root privileges for debugging.
You can set the tweak in settings。
允许xcode使用root权限启动自定义的debugserver调试iOS应用。
目前只在以下越狱设备上进行了测试：
- iPhone 6s 14.2
- iPhone 7 13.6.1
- iPhone 11 Pro 14.2
理论上支持iOS10以上设备，包括A12。

通常情况下，我们使用xcode进行真机调试时有如下限制:
- 只能以
mobile权限启动调试器 - 启动的调试器只能是
/Developer/usr/bin/debugserver
基于上面的限制，产生了以下问题：
- 无法调试系统进程，如：
Cydia、Safiri - 无法调试
AppStore下载的应用，应用需要砸壳后重签名
要解决上面的问题，需要使用具有高权限的debugserver，具体的配置过程，可以参考文章 iOS12 下配置debugserver + lldb调试环境的小技巧和问题处理。
要解决上面的限制，就需要安装本插件。
安装本插件以后，将允许开发者使用xcode以root权限启动自定义的debugserver进行调试。
你可以在设置中对插件进行设置。
