An open-source book (MIT licensed) teaching detailed iOS app reverse engineering skills, covering concepts, tools like class-dump, Theos, Cycript, Reveal, IDA and LLDB, plus theory and practice chapters. It targets iOS enthusiasts, senior developers, architects, and reverse engineers from other platforms.
Use cases
- learn iOS app reverse engineering from scratch
- understand iOS filesystem and file types not exposed to app developers
- learn to use tools like class-dump, Cycript, IDA and LLDB for iOS analysis
- study Objective-C and ARM assembly for reverse engineering
- analyze third-party iOS app architectures
- get started with the iOS jailbreak research community
When to choose
- you want a structured, book-style introduction to iOS reverse engineering
- you are an iOS developer wanting deeper understanding of the platform internals
- you come from reverse engineering on other systems and want to learn iOS
When to avoid
- you need up-to-date coverage of modern iOS versions and current tooling (content dates to ~2015)
- you need a hands-on tool rather than educational material
- you require guidance on non-jailbroken modern iOS workflows
