Frequently Asked Questions:
If you’ve got questions, we’ve got the answers:
What Do I Do About the Untrusted Developer Error?
All you have to do is trust the app developer – here’s how:
- Open iOS Settings>General
- Go to Profiles and tap the developer name
- Tap Trust and close Settings
That’s it
Is My Warranty Safe?
Yes, it is because TweakBox is legal to use. It requires the same standard permissions to download like any other app and doesn’t need root access to iOS. What might cause a problem if your device has to go into an Apple Store is if you are using tweaks? Just delete them and reinstall them later.
The App won’t Download or Verify
All you can do here is wait. Because the app runs on expired enterprise certificates, Apple revokes them. The developers replace them, and that’s probably what is happening when you try to download it. Delete TweakBox, wait a few hours and try again. Also, check that you are not trying to use a modified app with the stock version – if you download Snapchat++, for example, remove the official app first, or conflicts arise
Can I Ask for an App?
Yes, just post your request on the developer Twitter feed. They do get many requests though, and they may not be able to honor them all
Common Error Solutions:
While TweakBox is a reliable app, there are a couple of common errors – all easy to fix:
Blank or White Screen:
- Open Settings>Safari
- Tap Clear Website Data and try TweakBox again – it should be back to normal
TweakBox Has Stopped Working:
This is because Apple can’t verify the app source but you can:
- Remove TweakBox and install it again
- Open Settings>General
- Open Profiles and tap the developer name
- Tap Trust and exit Settings
- TweakBox will work
I Get a Profile Installation Failed Error:
This is down to the Apple Servers being bombarded with traffic. Wait a few hours and try again; if it still happens, follow these steps:
- Put your device into Airplane mode
- Open Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data
- Tap Clear History and Data
- Take your device out of Airplane mode and wait a minute or two
- Install TweakBox again, and it will work
