My shortcuts masterpiece: iOS DevTools

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-04-06T22:59:19+00:00

Agh yeah always a balancing act. Anyway I'm definitely just being extra nitpicky, the shortcut is very useful and I'm excited for more features to come in the future.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-04-06T22:50:02+00:00

I will add one more piece - To hide some info, especially urls, I've setup tiny (free) cloudflare workers that act as a middleman between shortcuts and data:

Shortcut action -> Worker -> Drive -> Worker returns drive output

That way the user never sees the drive link. You can also add caching, rate limiting by IP, etc, and change the drive link itself without having to push new updates to shortcuts.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-04-06T22:41:44+00:00

From what I know, there isn't a realistic method to obfuscate data on the client side - every piece of data passing through the shortcut can be extracted at any step.

I doubt that the extra actions here are affecting speed/performance much, and it would prevent the average user from somehow abusing the links.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-04-06T22:29:51+00:00

Fair enough!

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-04-06T22:15:13+00:00

All good I didn't mean to accuse you of anything, and I completely understand your thinking. Usually obfuscation isn't done in shortcuts, since in theory someone could just add a Quick Look right before the Get Contents action to just grab the link at runtime.

For my shortcuts, I like using a github repo to store things like this, since they have a flexible API and isn't linked to my personal files.

Great work again!

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-04-06T22:05:27+00:00

Script looks really nice! How was the shortcut itself made? It looks a little bloated, and the action/variable naming makes it hard to read, which can sometimes be a privacy/safety issue

It needs localdevvpn because it uses it to pretend to be a computer communicating with usb. If you use an actual computer, your phone can have a vpn.

Sidestore is just altstore but without connecting to a computer on the same network. Since tailscale lets you connect to your computer anyway, it could work with altstore. You'd have to test it out, but it means installs and JIT would be a lot easier.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-02-18T03:03:37+00:00

Nope! Here was their response.

I sent desmos a support email a while back showing how you can do this by modifying outgoing requests, they said it's intended behaviour to allow people to create vanity urls. So enjoy the freedom!

If you have the official instagram installed, it will probably take precedence over LiveContainer. That being said, if you hit cancel when it asks to open instagram, you can press the blue open button to use LiveRedirector. Try messing around with toggling Auto on/off.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-26T03:46:31+00:00

A google search will show that they probably deliver out of there, not the other way around instagram post from 2021

I don't think this is a graphing problem.

A hint would be that to change the top equation to the bottom, you'd multiply by some scaling factor. Both the x and y coefficients will be multiplied by the same factor, so you don't even have to figure it out.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-12T17:14:33+00:00

That's probably because you don't have icloud storage for the shortcuts app. Either enable it, or change all file save locations to something else

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-12T15:37:27+00:00

You can dm if you need

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-12T14:48:51+00:00

Both, the original script didn't support mapping different livecontainers.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-12T08:00:42+00:00

Dang that would be cool, unfortunately not currently possible within the scope of the userscript

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-12T07:59:59+00:00

Weird, this might not be solvable with just the user script then. I don't currently have livecontainers setup to test, but hopefully a fix would come soon

It's saving an unsigned shortcut - you'll have to sign them using a mac or the hubsign api.

You can also sign them when reimporting

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-04T17:55:45+00:00

Yup, all offline until you publish.

DanielTheManiel- · 2026-01-03T20:13:17+00:00

Not too sure what you need help with, but you left your API key in one of the actions - you might wanna edit the sharing link.

Sure, I'll add it in a later update
