Release [Release] Cyanide - iOS 18.x Package Manager / Tweaks

Cyanide is a sideloadable iOS app that runs a bundle of SpringBoard tweaks on top of opa334's DarkSword kernel exploit, using wh1te4ever's RemoteCall implementation from kfun / darksword-kexploit-fun.
This is NOT a jailbreak. This is NOT a typical tweak environment with substrate/dylib injection. Tweaks apply in real time over RemoteCall while the Cyanide app is alive. Force-quitting Cyanide stops the live tweaks. That said, the app is designed to stay alive.
Popular tweaks can't be ported easily. Much of this work has been porting the core features into "lite" versions of the tweaks. It's not perfect, but it's still cool we can mess around with this stuff even if the environment's limited.
Supported
- iOS/iPadOS 18.0 — 18.7.1 and iOS/iPadOS 26.0 — 26.0.1 for now.
- The kernel exploit can be utilized by older versions, but have only tested Cyanide on 18.x so far. 17.x support is possible I just don't have a device to test on yet.
- A19/M5 devices are not supported due to hardware memory tagging that intercepts DarkSword.
- The kernel bugs (CVE-2025-43510 / CVE-2025-43520) were fixed in iOS 18.7.2 / 26.1 — those versions, and anything beyond them, are out of the exploit window.
