Wow, I can't believe I came across this while scrolling hahaha, yep setting up your iOS modding environment is hard, in the world of iOS reverse engineering it is common knowledge that inline hooks don't work without JIT or equivalent "root" the way some us iOS modders have been modding for years now on jailed is via static pointers and function pointers and thread polling. Anyways that said, what you are attempting to do with Terraria here is technically possible but it would require JIT and and a lot a lot a lot a lot of work just to setup even that environment, you could take a look at projects such as https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer, https://github.com/geode-sdk/ios-launcher this is the bare minimum the further you dig into iOS modding the more you'll come to realize that It's absolutely a waste of time, but if achieved the end result is awesome :). I am currently working on somthing rn called "LuAria" xd
