Frequently Asked Questions
TweakBox attracts many questions, as do most unofficial app stores, and these are the ones we get asked the most:
How to Fix Untrusted Developer Error?
This is because TweakBox is unofficial and Apple cannot verify it. You can do this by following the steps below:
1. Open iOS Settings
2. Tap on General>Profiles
3. Tap the developer profile and tap Trust
4. Close Settings – TweakBox will now work
Will My Warranty Be Affected?
No, not by installing TweakBox. It is legal and you don’t have to jailbreak, so you don’t go against the security Apple has on iOS. However, if you use tweaks that change the way your device works, you may find that these cause a problem. If your device needs repair, simply delete those tweaks and reinstall them after.
How Do I Fix App Cannot Be Downloaded or Verified Error Message?
This usually happens because developers use expired enterprise certificates to build unofficial content. The certificates are revoked by Apple, although the developers do try to get them replaced before this can happen. If the certificate is revoked, the app stops working. All you can do is delete it and wait a few hours. By then, the developers should have replaced the app certificates and the app will work again.
This error message also appears when you download modified apps with the stock version still on your device – stock apps must be deleted before you can download the modified one.
Can I Request Apps or Games?
Yes, you can, although the developers will not guarantee they can find them. Use their official Twitter feed to make your request.

1. Put your device into Airplane mode

3. Tap Clear Website History & Data
4. Turn off Airplane mode and leave your iOS device for a few minutes
