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.

01

Download the IPA

Grab the latest AirCard-iOS.ipa from the GitHub releases, or build it from source with ./build-ipa.sh.

02

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).

03

Pair in Developer Mode

Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode → Pair with AirCard-iOS to authorize the on-device pairing.

04

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.

Signing and install FAQ

Common questions about installing custom PosterBoard wallpaper apps.

Does AirCard-iOS require a jailbreak?
No. AirCard-iOS talks to internal system services over a LocalDevVPN loopback tunnel and the AirTraffic service through AirliftFFI. No persistent jailbreak, bootstrap, or daemon is installed.
Which iOS versions are supported?
AirCard-iOS currently requires iOS 27.0 or newer. The exploit and cache paths target iOS 27.0 and above.
How does on-device pairing work without a computer?
The app advertises itself over Bonjour and reads the pairing record automatically into aircard_pairing.plist. Pair it under Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode → Pair with AirCard-iOS.
Will it affect Apple Pay or card security?
No. AirCard-iOS only replaces visual cache files such as cardBackgroundCombined@3x.png. It does not touch the Secure Enclave or alter card credentials, so Apple Pay transactions and rewards are unaffected.
How do I build the IPA from source?
Clone the repo, install Xcode 16+ and XcodeGen, then run ./build-ipa.sh. The completed package is written to build/AirCard-iOS.ipa. A Rust toolchain is only needed to rebuild rust-core.
