AirCard-iOS
v1.3No-jailbreak Apple Wallet card skins, lock screen passcode themes, and PosterBoard wallpapers on iOS 27+.
Last updated:
AirCard-iOS customizes Apple Wallet card artwork, lock screen passcode dialers, and lock screen wallpapers directly on device without a jailbreak. It talks to internal system services over a local loopback tunnel (10.7.0.1 or 127.0.0.1) provided by LocalDevVPN, while AirliftFFI — a Rust library — handles file operations through the AirTraffic service. Once paired on-device via Bonjour and Developer Mode, no computer or external connection is needed.

AirCard-iOS highlights
Everything AirCard-iOS brings to custom PosterBoard wallpapers.
Apple Wallet Card Skins
Writes custom card artwork to Passbook caches and flushes front-face and thumbnail caches so new artwork appears the moment Wallet opens.
Passcode Dialer Themes
Live dialer preview with touch panning and zoom framing, full poster layouts, and importable .passthm themes.
PosterBoard Wallpapers
Import and unpack .tendies wallpaper archives from the Files app and inject them into PosterBoard storage with automatic descriptor detection.
On-Device Pairing
Advertises over Bonjour and syncs pairing records into aircard_pairing.plist so the phone pairs with itself without a computer.
Integrated NeoSpring
Automatically triggers a NeoSpring respring after flashing so wallpapers apply without rebooting your iPhone.
No Jailbreak
Everything runs over LocalDevVPN loopback and the AirTraffic service, with no persistent jailbreak, bootstrap, or daemon installed.
Signing & install
Specific steps for getting AirCard-iOS onto your iPhone.
Download the IPA
Grab the latest AirCard-iOS.ipa from the GitHub releases, or build it from source with ./build-ipa.sh.
Sideload & run LocalDevVPN
Install the IPA via SideStore, AltStore, TrollStore, or LiveContainer, then run LocalDevVPN in loopback mode (10.7.0.1 or 127.0.0.1).
Pair in Developer Mode
Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode → Pair with AirCard-iOS to authorize the on-device pairing.
Flash & apply
Pick a Wallet card skin, a .passthm passcode theme, or a .tendies wallpaper, then apply to write caches and respring.
Research software warning
AirCard-iOS requires iOS 27.0 or newer and relies on the AirTraffic service to replace local graphics caches. It does not jailbreak the device or compromise the Secure Enclave, but it remains experimental research software. Back up your data and use it only on devices you own.
