fixing dumped IPAs
Clutch and
frida-ios-dump are essential for archiving iOS apps, but just
appinst-ing the resulting IPAs doesn't always work if entitlements are lost. These steps may resolve some crashing or inability to save logins.
retrieve encrypted bundle
After dumping the IPA as usual, unzip it and check the app bundle's name. Then, on iOS:
bundlePath="$(find /private -name <name>.app)"
tar cf encrypted.tar "$bundlePath"
Transfer the resulting archive to a Mac.
dump entitlements
Unzip the encrypted app. Dump its entitlements:
codesign --dump --entitlements /tmp/entitlements.xml --xml <name>.app
re-sign
Unzip the dumped IPA. Ad-hoc sign it with the dumped entitlements:
codesign -f -s - --deep --entitlements /tmp/entitlements.xml <name>.app
You can now re-zip the
Payload
folder, rename to IPA, and install on a jailbroken device.
