Changelog

v1.0.0

• Initial release

To Do

• Fix some contact names not being displayed properly.
• Find a better way for the random "Sign in required" message that appears after the user manually signs out of the app.

Behind the Scenes

The tweak hooks into Find My Friends and modifies outgoing network requests to make them appear as if they're coming from iOS 7. This allows the iOS 5 & 6 versions of the app to work with modern iCloud servers that have dropped support for these older versions because Spoiler: The App works perfectly fine, just like on iOS 7, but Apple likes to block things.

Technical Details:

• Modifies HTTP request body to add fmfAppRefresh: 2 parameter
• Updates appVersion, buildVersion, and osVersion to iOS 7 values
• Changes User-Agent and X-MMe-Client-Info headers to iOS 7 format
• Blocks "sign in required" alerts that appear due to session timing issues (workaround)
