Comment on Malimite – iOS and macOS Decompiler

Comments

This is all well and good, but at least for iOS my understanding is you cannot decompile unless you have a jailbroken iPhone or security research device. Makes things a bit difficult.

Jailbreak not required. I use TrollStore/TrollDecrypt but I'm sure there are other methods.

For reference, it's possible because of a AMFI/CoreTrust bug in older iOS:

https://github.com/opa334/TrollStore/blob/main/README.md

It works because of an AMFI/CoreTrust bug where iOS does not correctly verify code signatures of binaries in which there are multiple signers.
Supported versions: 14.0 beta 2 - 16.6.1, 16.7 RC (20H18), 17.0

This seemed to happen because they didn't have time to release 17 with the bug fixed, which is why 16.7 Final is not supported; per https://x.com/MasterMike88/status/1743974453459956209
