Dynamic Island
Writes Dynamic Island capability and cutout geometry (including iPhone Air #105) directly to systemgroup.com.apple.mobilegestaltcache after an automatic backup. Per-preset Revert (#58) restores both layout and capability.

Staged Edits & Verified Backups
Unlike one-shot plist patchers that overwrite keys blindly with 0, GestaltX snapshots original types, validates cache layout before every write, and rejects mismatched device backups.
MG Control & Safety Guard
Typed CacheExtra Control
Search, add, rename, and edit String, 64-bit unsigned Integer (#31), Real, Boolean, Data, sub-millisecond Date (#34), Array, and Dictionary fields without losing sibling keys (#138). See all presets.
Hardware Identity Recovery
GestaltX enables Apple Intelligence flags via the YumEdit 1.2.1 method without spoofing board or CPU, and repairs Face ID broken by older spoofers through Restore Hardware Identity (#128). Read recovery steps.
Wallpapers, Launch & Audio
Import .tendies and .zip PosterBoard packs, edit lock screen text without rebooting, override App Launch Images, and swap notification sounds in v1.1.1 App Audio Library. Explore media modules.
App Group Signing & Safety Flow
Every worse_query escape pivots through an App Group cache folder shared between the main binary and its embedded Share Extension. Follow these five checkpoints before writing system files:
- Confirm OS branch
- Live SystemGroup MobileGestalt writes require iOS/iPadOS 27.0–27.3 Beta 1. On 26.0–26.7.2, use local plist Share imports and container tools (scope matrix).
- Preserve App Groups
- Sign with SideStore, AltStore, Impactor, or iLoader keeping the Share Extension and at least one common
com.apple.security.application-groupsID (sideload guide). - Export baseline plist
- Export your untouched
com.apple.MobileGestalt.plistfrom GestaltX first so a device-bound Keychain proof (#59) and off-device copy exist. - Stage single presets
- Review the staged before/after diff in Changes before tapping Apply. Avoid combining Display Zoom (
#125) with Dynamic Island cutouts. - Connect LocalDevVPN
- When capturing unlisted notification sound paths in
v1.1.1App Audio Library, pair your device and start theLocalDevVPNtunnel first.

USB-C Sideloading & Backup Gear
Provisioning GestaltX with SideStore, AltStore, Impactor, or iLoader and generating a Pairing file for App Audio Library requires a reliable wired USB data cable, while an external SSD keeps a clean off-device copy of com.apple.MobileGestalt.plist and full Finder/iTunes backups:

Common questions
What is GestaltX and who maintains it?
GestaltX (huamidev/GestaltX) is an open-source SwiftUI MobileGestalt editor and container customization app for iPhone and iPad created by huamidev under the GPL-3.0 license. As of November 14, 2026, the latest release is v1.1.1 (Build 11140102, published November 13, 2026), with 7,454 GitHub stars and 64,069 release asset downloads across 8 tags.
Which iOS and iPadOS versions support live MobileGestalt editing?
Live on-device access to /var/containers/Shared/SystemGroup/systemgroup.com.apple.mobilegestaltcache requires iOS or iPadOS 27.0 through 27.3 Beta 1 via forcequitOS/worse_query. On iOS and iPadOS 26.0 through 26.7.2, GestaltX installs cleanly and supports local plist Share imports, MG Control key inspection, and Pairing/LocalDevVPN container workflows, while marking live SystemGroup MobileGestalt writes unsupported.
How do I verify that GestaltX_1.1.1.ipa has not been modified?
Download GestaltX_1.1.1.ipa (6.77 MB, 6,774,794 bytes) directly from github.com/huamidev/GestaltX/releases and drop it into the WebCrypto SHA-256 verifier on this page. Its exact upstream SHA-256 digest is 0621b070cafacb2f1f83fad459697d02263e513b04d77b462da333c5b0a4e708, computed locally in your browser with zero file uploads.
Why does GestaltX show No App Group or MobileGestalt access was denied?
worse_query pivots through a signed App Group cache directory (<app group>/Library/Caches). Re-sign GestaltX with SideStore, AltStore, Impactor, or iLoader using a profile that keeps the embedded Share Extension and assigns at least one common com.apple.security.application-groups identifier to both targets. Sideloadly free-account profiles and wildcard * profiles strip or fail App Group validation.
Can GestaltX fix broken Face ID caused by earlier Apple Intelligence spoofing?
Yes, when hardware-identity spoofing from an older tool altered product, board, or CPU fields. GestaltX v1.1.1 includes Backups → Restore Hardware Identity (#128, localized in #146), which verifies a same-device backup matching your physical kernel board, CacheUUID, and chip across iPhone 11 through iPhone 15 Plus before restoring hardware identity while leaving AI, Siri, and region flags intact.
What did GestaltX v1.1.1 add beyond MobileGestalt presets?
Release v1.1.1 (Build 11140102) introduced App Audio Library for replacing app notification sounds with custom audio, a Pairing & Device Connection + LocalDevVPN capture guide for unlisted app sound paths, Face ID hardware-identity recovery (#128/#146), case-insensitive CacheUUID checks (#131), and Share-inbox fallback (#133), building on v1.0.6/v1.0.7 .tendies Wallpaper Settings and App Launch Images.
