Building

Just build like a normal Xcode project. Sign using your own team and bundle identifier. You can also build the .app file by running the command xcodebuild CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO -scheme Cowabunga\ Lite -configuration release inside the folder containing the xcodeproj.

How it works

Cowabunga Lite applies tweaks by creating a partial restore of only the files being changed without wiping the device. It uses libimobiledevice to create the backups, restore them to the device, and read information about the device such as the device name, iOS version, and home screen apps.
