An individual, or a piece of software, that alters the functionality or content of games on Apple’s mobile operating system (iOS). This process typically involves modifying game files to introduce new features, unlock content, or gain advantages not originally intended by the game developers. For example, such a person might change in-game currencies, unlock levels, or provide unlimited resources in a game designed for iOS.
The ability to modify games provides users with increased control over their gaming experience. It allows for personalization and customization beyond the limitations set by the original game developers. Historically, this practice has been driven by a desire to enhance enjoyment, circumvent paywalls, or explore alternative gameplay scenarios. This capability can also provide insights into game design and software security vulnerabilities.
