Feature Request: Spoof Device type #2

Hello.. thanks for making the app version of AppStore++ It is truly an essential tweak & a huge advantage of jailbreaking.

Now that the app version of AppStore++ can be installed on iOS 13 (& other jailbroken devices), I’d like to request a feature: Spoof device type.

Why? I install WhatsApp on my iPad, WhatsApp isn’t officially supported on iPads & you can’t find it on iPads’ AppStore. The workaround for this issue is:

The issue with this method is: 1) sometimes WhatsApp will force you to update the app, & you’ll need to repeat the process every time (even though your device is jailbroken & technically there should be nothing preventing us from downloading it on-device) 2) & also there is no option to downgrade :(

With the introduction of AppStorePlus app I thought this would solve my issues (since we now have the advantage that WhatsApp now appears in the AppStorePlus app unlike the official AppStore) but unfortunately when I try to upgrade or downgrade WhatsApp it says: “Cannot Download App: WhatsApp Messenger isn’t compatible with this device.”

I don’t know how 3uTools or Sideloadly are able to install the app without modifying its info.plist file (so I don’t think the issue is there, I think the issue is with downloading only) but I can think of two ways you can solve this issue:

Another feature request:
