Behind the Scenes

The tweak runs in SpringBoard and proactively scans for Pinterest installations on launch. It automatically modifies the Info.plist file to set both CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString to empty strings, which prevents Pinterest from crashing on iOS 5+. Additionally, it blocks update alerts that would normally appear when launching Pinterest.

Credits

This tweak is based on a manual fix tutorial that was originally shared in a Discord group. The method involved manually editing Pinterest's Info.plist file with iFile to change the version number. I DMed the creator, but he didn't respond. If he wants, I'll gladly mention him here. In the latest update, I've replaced the version strings with empty strings since the old method didn't work anymore.
