iOS How to implement bash into a app?

[nightwalker21]

I'm working on a app called HideMyX which hides the IntelliScreenX icon. But I'm trying to figure out how to implement bash into my app.
I know about system() but it's not working or I'm doing something wrong my code is in the attachment.
I'm using Theos not Xcode just let you guy's know.
So make sure anything you tell me can be used with Theos please?

One answer in the link suggests you have very limited use of system().

I don't know what of the system you need, but you might find an API or something that can run the same thing as system() does.

What do you want system() to do?

Well for one I need it to have super user(su) permissions so the app can do what it was designed for.

I'm not sure what the app is designed to do and don't know about the Super User permission does, but every app on a non-jailbroken device runs in a sandbox.

As far as I know, if your app need to get outside the sandbox, you're going to have problems.

You can look in the APIs and see if the functionality you want is there, but Apple is very restrictive with permissions.

Someone helped me out you put setuid(0); in the main.m
