The misakaX customization tool for iOS 17 to iOS 18. x shows promise and may become more powerful with future updates. Although it doesn’t match the Misaka tweak manager’s full capabilities, it’s a solid start.

To use misakaX, you’ll need a MobileGestalt.plist file from your iPhone, which can be saved using a shortcut script in the Shortcuts app. Additionally, misakaX requires pymobiledevice3, a Python library for iDevice interaction, and other necessary Python libraries.
