SHA-256 (GestaltX_1.0.7.ipa): 226f1a6ceb5267d6dcadbb5af228c1496bb4fd45c229857b9b2e19ca12ae5f72 · View release on GitHub

Build 11122300.

Added

• Add custom lock screen text in System Settings, applied without restarting the device.
• Add Wallpaper Settings for importing, applying and removing wallpaper packs, including .tendies and .zip import through the share extension.
• Add App Launch Images with custom photos, full-resolution saving to Photos, automatic backups and restore.
• Add Japanese localization based on @kagithu's contribution, with missing strings completed (#124).
• Add the iPhone Air Dynamic Island layout (#105).

Changed

• Add a symbol to Discard Changes. Apply Changes and Discard Changes now turn gray when there are no pending changes.

Fixed

• Preserve device-specific On-Device Siri capability values instead of overwriting them with a generic value, which could revert the Apple Intelligence Siri interface (#102, #98).
• Improve shared-import cancellation and temporary-file cleanup.

Build 11111140.

Added

• Spanish localization, bringing the app to nine supported locales (#97).
• iPhone Air model presets (#92) and a Japanese README (#83).

Changed

• About now lists the supported OS as iOS / iPadOS 27.x. Installation remains

available on 26.x, where on-device MobileGestalt access is marked unsupported.

• Updated Korean translations (#84) and corrected mixed-language text in

Traditional Chinese and other locales (#61).

• Renamed the Chinese Photos Clean Up preset to “照片消除”.
• Corrected the Internal Build label and added confirmation before enabling

this system-wide flag (#60).

Fixed

• Device access preserves existing App Group cache contents (#55).
• Reverting Dynamic Island restores its layout together with its capability

flag, without discarding unrelated staged artwork changes (#58).

• Original-value recovery now checks the cache generation and layout, keeps

unavailable originals distinct from missing fields, and avoids repeatedly

reading old backup history (#65, #66).

• Restoring an unchanged backup skips unnecessary device writes (#69).

Failed backup deletions remain retryable (#70), and local backup

replacement clears inherited device-ownership status (#64).

• Exports of verified device backups carry device-bound proof (#59).

Temporary export files are removed after sharing or cancellation (#62).

• Direct file imports are captured before confirmation is deferred (#63),

and coordinated reads run off the main thread (#75). Temporary provider

failures (#74) or one inaccessible App Group (#71) no longer block

other queued imports.

• Shared import handling checks container boundaries, rejects symlink paths,

bounds filename metadata, and cleans abandoned files without interrupting

active writers (#72, #73, #76).

• Device identity changes are rejected before system writes (#67).

Duplicate cache descriptors are validated (#56), and unchanged NaN

values compare consistently (#68).

Download and signing

• Some users report incomplete downloads with Safari on iOS 27. If an IPA is

reported as damaged or cannot be extracted, download it again; it may take

several attempts. Try another browser if the issue persists. This has not

been confirmed as a Safari or iOS defect.

• Re-sign with a certificate and profile containing at least one usable App

Group. Keep the share extension and configure a common App Group for both

the app and extension.

SHA-256 (GestaltX_1.0.5.ipa): d2bd9f80cd4c1b6c1504a9b8fc32783440e4fd4c997e98890c341f28014a1bfe · View release on GitHub

Build 11101436.

Added

• WAPI preset under Device → Presets: disable the WAPI regulatory flag or

restore the recorded original value. The cached Boolean is resolved from the

device's own MobileGestalt image instead of a hard-coded slot (#30).

• Per-device originals for the WAPI flag. The value survives edits, app

restarts, journal migration, and is restored together with the other cached

options (#30).

• New display presets: high-luminance Always-On Display, AOD flipbook and its

entry count, HDR photo display, wallpaper parallax control, and experimental

PWM and DisplayPort capability flags.

• New device presets: Collision SOS, Audio Mix, and Spatial FaceTime audio.
• New intelligence presets: on-device Siri, Audio Intelligence, Personal

Translator, Photos Clean Up, Handwriting Synthesis, and always-listening Hey

Siri. These remain capability flags; hardware and region still decide what

actually runs.

• Korean localization, bringing the app to eight supported languages (#24).
• CI now builds an ad-hoc signed IPA automatically and uploads it as an

artifact; tag and release runs also attach it to the matching release.

Changed

• Additional Options and the WAPI row are shown directly in

Device → Presets. The hidden ten-tap gate on the About version string

was removed.

• Restore and open actions are disabled while the current document has staged

edits. Save or discard them first instead of silently losing the changes

(#37).

• Version bumped to 1.0.4 (CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION 11101436). README version

badges and the build date were updated.

• All new user-facing strings are localized in the eight supported languages

(English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese for Taiwan and Hong Kong,

Vietnamese, Russian, Persian, and Korean) (#30, #38).

Fixed

• Device access now falls back across every signed App Group instead of

trusting the first one. This fixes the MobileGestalt access was denied

error on builds signed with a certificate that carries multiple App Groups

(#47).

• Field editing preserves exact 64-bit integers, including unsigned values

above Int64.max. Read-back comparison no longer aliases UInt64.max with

-1 (#31).

• Opening a field and applying it unchanged no longer re-parses its display

text, preserving sub-millisecond Date precision and nested values in

arrays and dictionaries (#34).

• Malformed ArtworkTraits values are no longer replaced or lost when a model

name or Dynamic Island layout preset is applied. The UI explains that the

field must be fixed in MG Control first (#38).

• Device backup restores reject a different CacheUUID, CacheVersion, or

CacheData length before any write, instead of restoring an incompatible

cache layout (#32).

• Saved backups are verified against their recorded size and SHA-256 digest

before reuse. Legacy backups without a digest remain readable (#33).

• Shared plist imports reject FIFOs, sockets, directories, and symlinks instead

of blocking on them, while still accepting regular files (#35).

• File Provider imports coordinate their reads, so placeholders are

materialized and concurrent changes cannot corrupt the read (#39).

• Cancelling the share extension now resumes a stalled provider continuation

and cancels the underlying Progress, instead of hanging the extension

(#36).

• Rejecting or confirming one shared plist no longer leaves later queued

imports waiting for another foreground event. Invalid entries are skipped

and the queue continues in order (#40).

• Backup restore now validates the saved layout before creating a recovery

backup or journal entry, so a rejected restore has no side effects (#32).

Security

• Backup integrity uses a persisted SHA-256 digest. A same-size replacement

with another valid plist is detected (#33).

• Inbox scans and imports open files with O_NOFOLLOW and require a regular

file descriptor, preventing named-pipe and symlink tricks (#35).

GestaltX 1.0.3

• Added share import: share a plist to GestaltX from Files or another app, then confirm the import after verification.
• Strengthened device ownership checks. Mismatched or unverifiable files are rejected; exports can include a device-bound verification proof.
• Improved MG Control with support for adding, editing, renaming, and deleting keys and values.
• Added restoration of verified device plists, with an automatic backup before restoring. Restart your device afterward.

When re-signing, keep the share extension and configure the same App Group for both the app and extension.

GestaltX 1.0.2

• Fixed preset disabling: originally absent fields are removed; existing fields regain their original values and types instead of being set to 0.
• Added automatic initial backups and persistent original-value records.
• Added a Revert button to each preset, preserving unrelated pending changes.
• Added Remove Added Fields for fields you know were added later.
• Adjusted NeoSpring loading and startup timing, and fixed premature dismissal when returning to the app.

Supports iOS / iPadOS 27.x. Signing requires at least one usable App Group.

GestaltX 1.0.1

• Added a separate Region Code option with presets for the United States, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and the United Kingdom.
• Changing Region Code alone preserves the existing sales-region suffix.
• Fixed combined settings: Region Code and Sales Region can now be applied together.
• Usually, changing Region Code is enough to try enabling AI; changing Sales Region is unnecessary.
• If you previously changed Sales Region, restore your device’s original sales region first. For example, if your device originally had the CH/A suffix, select China (Mainland) under Sales Region and apply it, then adjust Region Code as needed. Restart your device after applying changes.

Supports iOS / iPadOS 27.x. On-device MobileGestalt access is unsupported on iOS / iPadOS 26.x. AI availability and verification results vary by device and OS.
