A Chinese-language tutorial and demo project on iOS app reverse engineering in non-jailbroken environments, covering app decryption checks, re-signing, dylib injection, and hooking with CaptainHook/Cycript. It uses WeChat as the worked example and is tied to older toolchains (Xcode 7.3–8.1, iOS 9.3–10.3).

Use cases

• hook an iOS app without jailbreaking
• inject a dylib into a decrypted iOS app
• re-sign an app so it installs on a non-jailbroken device
• check whether an app binary is decrypted via cryptid
• load Cycript into an iOS app for runtime tweaking
• learn the non-jailbreak iOS reverse engineering workflow step by step
• debug an iOS app's UI with Reveal

When to choose

• you want a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough of the non-jailbreak iOS hooking pipeline (decryption check, re-signing, injection, hooking)
• you are working with older devices/iOS 9–10 and Xcode 7–8 toolchains
• you learn best from a concrete end-to-end example using a real app like WeChat

When to avoid

• you target modern iOS versions (12+) where these techniques and signed-tool setups largely no longer work
• you need a maintained, reusable hooking framework rather than a tutorial with demo code
• you want jailbreak-based tweak development (Theos/Substrate on a jailbroken device)
