## What it is
A Swift CLI tool that decrypts FairPlay-encrypted Mach-O application binaries on macOS (SIP-enabled, macOS 11.3 or below, with newer support via CVE-2025-24204) and on jailbroken iOS devices. It dumps decrypted app binaries and frameworks from .app bundles to a specified output path.

## Use cases
- decrypt encrypted ipa binaries from ios apps
- dump decrypted macho binaries on m1 mac
- extract decrypted frameworks from an app bundle
- decrypt ios apps on a jailbroken iphone
- bypass fairplay encryption for reverse engineering apps
- dump app binaries when sip is enabled

## When to choose
- you need to decrypt FairPlay-encrypted Mach-O binaries for security research or reverse engineering
- you are on a compatible macOS version (11.3 or below, or 15.0-15.2 with the CVE path) or a jailbroken iPhone
- you want a lightweight Swift CLI that dumps whole app bundles including plugins and frameworks

## When to avoid
- you are on a modern macOS version without the supported vulnerability path
- you need a no-jailbreak iOS-only dumping solution with broader device support
- you want a GUI tool rather than a command-line utility
