Latest 8 Ball Pool version 55.8.0

[DuxiiT]

Would this work using the latest 8 ball pool version? I tried the same steps but got an error while building the APK because of the iwex folder, this is the error at smail_classes5 while convering it to .DEX using APKTool on Windows:

Hello. This mod only works with 8 Ball Pool version 5.8.0 armeabi-v7a (32-bit). New 8 ball pool versions have better security, so you can't just inject code into apk.

Ah I understand, would you say that it's impossible to do something like this on the newest version of 8 ball pool? thinking about chetos such as EasyVictory or Snake how are they made?

I bet it's still possible, but it's a lot harder to do than in older versions because now you have to find the signature check and probably a lot of other checks in both the obfuscated Java and native code and disable them. Cheats like EV, Snake and others either run the game in a virtual environment or use superuser privileges to inject at runtime instead of modifying the game's apk. Also, the game's security mechanisms change from version to version, so what works now may not work with newer versions.

I've tested quite a few Chetos and they all seem to function the same way which is to create an 8 ball pool instance using a seperate APK rather than modifying the 8 Ball Pool APK directly, is it hard to achieve and if so how?

I don't know, never tried to do this
