The misakaX customization tool for iOS 17 to iOS 18 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.
