How to hook into a framework(CoreLocation) with Theos/Logos

Is it possible to hook into a framework, e.g. CoreLocation, so that all the apps that link to the framework see the patch?

Currently I can hook into a specific app by the following steps:

  • create a iphone/tweak in Theos
  • set the bundle identifier to the target app
  • call %hook classname that interacts with the framework

However this only exposes the tweak to a single app. Can I patch the framework directly? What bundle identifier should I use in this case?

Solution

  • Every framework has Info.plist file with CFBundleIdentifier key. To hook processes linking to CoreLocation.framework enter com.apple.corelocation as bundle filter.
