How to patch iPhone Apps using IDA /pro?


I am trying to patch my own programs which I created for this task.

Unfortunately, once I do really simple patches and send the App to my iPod touch, it crashes as soon as I launch the App.

I'm using IDA pro 6.2 with patching menu. I open my process using the ARM processor option.

Is it correct?


Solution

  • Try to use the command line tool ldone on your iDevice before running it. There can be some problems with the signatures in the mach-o file itself, that can be fixed by resigning the executable.
