However, when it comes to software modification there are two points to think about: Just as you said, the use cases for such functionality could broadly vary.Ĥ years ago, when AppleALC was not even planned, Lilu prototype was actually a modern replacement to SIMBL. The best way to implement a system like this would be as a separate Lilu plugin, which would act as a trampoline for a dynamically loaded plugin system retrieving filters from user space or the filesystem. You mentioned that a dylib is not required since patches could be done in memory with a Lilu plugin, but I think it would be best load dylibs and keep the 3rd party code running in userland which does not need kernel privileges. SIMBL does not include a standardized code replacement SDK SIMBL can only filter against Cocoa UI applications - (headless or terminal applications are not able to be injected into)Ĥ. SIMBL requires an agent which receives late notifications of process events (in many applications of code injection tweaks it is crucial to inject early into process lifetime)ģ. (though admittedly this could be added to its injection process)Ģ. SIMBL does not allow you to filter by library/framework. You may ask what benefit this product could offer over SIMBL bundles?ġ. The addition of this SDK would create a community of tweak developers not too different from that which formed around the iOS jailbreak scene.Įxtensions which could probably be ported immediately include and any SIMBL bundle that was created for OS X.

For instance, one might opt to remove the feature of OS X which lower's system audio during a FaceTime call and can easily do so with a patch like this: if there was a stable code injection platform. Many other possibilities exist for patches of OS X user space functionality large and small. Note that many tweaks would require injection into processes filterable by bundle identifier, frameworks loaded, process name, or a wildcard. Additionally there is dockify ( ) - a library which if developed fully could allow customization of dock appearance.Ī system-wide runtime theming library could easily be achievable with your system. Unfortunately, development was dropped as the tools being used for code injection became outdated. icon files at runtime allowing for a rich packaged theming API. You may refer to AutumnBoard ( ) - a tool to replace system app, extension, etc. Personally, I have a number of projects which are in great need of a platform to handle injection and code replacement. You can find precedent of it if you search for the large community which formed around the Unsanity Haxie tools for 10.4 which provided code injection and an API to replace functions at runtime. I think the use cases for such an SDK are wide.
