Decompile app IOS to get source code - Objective C

I have an app that I need to get the source code to update the app. Customer doesn't have source code, only the app file from apple store. Is there any tool or method to get it?

Thanks

Solution

  • You cannot decompile an iOS app to get the source code. Once it is submitted to the store, even the dSYM file is stripped, so errors don't provide the source code context. I'm afraid you are out of luck.

    As @Richard J. Ross III has mentioned, there are tools that may help you get the assembly, but you will never be able to get the actual source code back. Depending on the detail of the app, you may just want to rewrite the application.
