Can I decompile IPA?

An Android app isn’t compiled, it’s an interpreted app (Java), so all the source code is still in there. All you have to do is retranslate it back to Java, there’s no “decompilation” involved.

Can iOS apps be reverse engineered?

Reverse engineering iOS mobile applications is no simple task. Compared to reverse engineering Android with tools like apktool, jadx and similar, reversing tools for iOS are scarce due to security measures implemented by Apple and iOS being less open source in general.

Can I get source code from IPA?

No – the IPA format does not make source code inclusion mandatory, so there’s no general way to do what you ask.

Is it possible to reverse engineer an app?

If you have an app you’d like to reverse-engineer on your Android, you can use a file manager like ASTRO to save a backup to an SD card. It’s also possible to connect your Android to a computer and then use Android Debugging Bridge to transfer the app to your PC.

How can I see the source code of an IOS app?

Or use the app’s Safari extension and browse the web as you usually would. Then, when you want to view the source for your current page, all you need to do is tap the Action icon and choose View Source.

How do I find the code of an app?

In Android studio 2.3, Build -> Analyze APK -> Select the apk that you want to decompile . You will see it’s source code.

Is it possible to decompile the executable file?

Decompiling the executable file is only possible on jailbroken iDevice, because it is encrypted especially for the current device and the magic key to decrypt the binary is burned inside the device CPU and as far as I know there is no software way to read that key. The encryption system here is called FairPlay.

How do I decrypt a binary file of an iOS app?

Briefly described, one way to decrypt that binary is to have the app installed on a jailbroken device, and launch it from command line using a debugger (gdb) which you can download from Cydia.

How to debug iOS and macOS apps with command line tools?

Below are standard command-line tools for reverse engineering iOS and macOS apps. These tools are available out of the box on Mac: lldb is a powerful debugger used in Xcode. You can use this tool to reverse engineer and debug code written in C++, Objective-C, and C. lldb allows you to debug code on both actual iOS devices and simulators.
