On desktop operating systems, modifying a program might involve editing a configuration file or a registry entry. On mobile devices, applications run inside isolated environments called "sandboxes." To change how an app behaves, developers use tweak injection tools to slide custom code into an existing application binary. On iOS devices, this code is typically wrapped into a .dylib file. On Android systems, developers alter compiled .apk files or inject .so libraries. 2. Sideloading Ecosystems tweakwizard.com
