Reverse engineering a Swift application
Before we get into reverse engineering the Swift application, here's just a reminder that in order to extract the unencrypted application from an iOS device, we will need tools such as frida-ios-dump
(https://github.com/AloneMonkey/frida-ios-dump) and frida-ipa-dump
(https://github.com/integrity-sa/frida-ipa-dump). You can read more about how to use them to extract encrypted applications from iOS devices in their respective GitHub repositories.
Important Note
Together with Frida-based tools such as frida-ios-dump
and frida-ipa-dump
, there are several other applications available for jailbroken devices that can help to extract an unencrypted application from the device. Most of these applications can be downloaded on a jailbroken device using Cydia (a third-party application installer for jailbroken iOS devices).
Once the application is downloaded, please follow the steps to extract the application binary from the package by unarchiving...
