Static / Dynamic iOS app inspection

Jailbreak in 2023

CheckRa1n was enough for my devices on iOS 14.x.

Older, stable Jailbreaks like Electra still work. Things to remember:

  • You do NOT require Cydia Impactor to install a fresh copy of the Electra app.
  • The Electra app needs to signed by a code signing key before it works.
  • Create a Code Signing Key for free with XCode.
  • Re-sign the ELectra app with:
# find your "Apple Development" ID
security find-identity -v -p codesigning

# sign Electra app with a free Developer Account
applesign -7 -i ${CODESIGNID} -m embedded.mobileprovision Electra1141-2.0.ipa -o ready.ipa --clone-entitlements

# Deploy it to the device with a different bundle ID
ios-deploy --bundle_id='com.bar.baz.foo' -b ready.ipa

Get decrypted IPA off a Jailbroken device

Decrypting the app binary is essential if you want to find good strings, debug the app or repackage the iPA.

# Get script to decrypt iPA
https://github.com/AloneMonkey/frida-ios-dump

# Attach a jailbroken iPhone and create tunnel over USB
iproxy 2222 22 &

# Ensure Frida is running on iOS device. Then run frida-ios-dump
./dump.py foo.bar.bundleid

# Check AppStore binary is now decrypted ( cryptid 0 decrypted vs cryptid 1 encrypted )  
otool -l Payload/foo.app/foo | grep -i LC_ENCRYPTION -B1 -A4
Load command 12
          cmd LC_ENCRYPTION_INFO_64
      cryptid 0
--

Get App Store iPAs

  • Install Apple's utility Apple Configurator 2 from macOS store
  • Install the target iOS app on the target device
  • Then open Apple Configurator 2 and "sign in" with the same Apple account used on the target device
  • Sign-out and sign-in to refresh the known app list
  • Right click on device and select Add/Apps
  • Select the app you want to copy

At this point Apple Configurator 2 will download a copy of the app to:

~/Library/Group Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Caches/Assets/TemporaryItems/MobileApps/

When you hit the "Skip App / Replace / Stop" modal, select nothing. Go to Finder and grab the IPA.

Full instructions.

 Dump KeyChain

Works on a clean device or Jailbroken device:

# Install Objection
pip3 install objection

# repackage app with Frida Gadget
objection --gadget "com.apple.AppStore" explore

# KeyChain dump
ios keychain dump --json output.json

Inspect files inside ipa

# Unzip the IPA file to reveal the Payload folder
unzip myApp.ipa

# big files inside ipa file
find Payload -size +2M

# Files that were mistakingly shipped inside of App Bundle
find . -name '*.json' -or -name '*.txt'

# Check for ReactNative
find . -name main.jsbundle

# Check for Certificates
find . -name '*.crt' -or -name '*.cer' -or -name '*.der'

# Property lists inside Payload folder. Recursive search.
find Payload/ -name '*.plist'

# Provisioning Profiles
find . -name '*.mobileprovision'

# Dynamically linked frameworks
find . -name '*.framework'

# Locally linked javascript
find Payload -name '*.js'

# Search all plist files for a value
find . -name '*.plist' | xargs grep "LSApplicationQueriesSchemes"

# Search all plist files for Device Permissions or App Transport Security
find . -name '*.plist' | xargs grep "NS"

# Search all files using only grep
grep "LSApplicationQueriesSchemes" . -R

# Recursive search all files using grep inside Payload folder
grep "Requires" Payload -R
# foobar.app/Info.plist:    <key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
# foobar.app/Info.plist:    <key>LSRequiresIPhoneOS</key>

Applesign

Applesign is a wrapper around Codesigning tools from Apple.

npm install -g applesign

#### Create provisioning file

First, you want to get hold of an `embedded.mobileprovision` file.  Fear not, this step is simple.

Open `Xcode` and select `File/New/Project/Swift` and call it `foobar`.  Select `build` for Generic (ARM) Device.  Do not select a simulator. This is normally enough.  

You don’t need to `run` the app unless want to automagically add your device’s UUID to the Provisioning Profile.  

Now right click on the `/Product/foobar.app` - in the left hand view pane - and select "show in finder".  If you look inside the folder ( remember `foobar.app` is a folder ) you will find a fresh `embedded.mobileprovision`.  This contains the uniques IDs and an expiry date for the developer profile associated to the app.

#### Read the Provisioning Profile

Ensure your device ID is in the profile and the profile is fresh.

`security cms -D -i embedded.mobileprovision`

#### List all of your Code signing identities

```bash
security find-identity -v -p codesigning
export CODESIGNID=<GUID>

Resign iPA: change bundle ID

applesign -7 -i ${CODESIGNID} --bundleid funky-chicken.resigned

Resign iPA: set app to debuggable with custom provisioning file ( default )

applesign -7 -i ${CODESIGNID} -m embedded.mobileprovision unsigned.ipa -o ready.ipa

Resign the iPA: set output IPA name. Won't be debuggable, if it is a App Store app

applesign -7 -i ${CODESIGNID} myapp.ipa -o resigned.ipa

Speed up repackaging

rm -v unsigned.ipa | rm -v ready.ipa | 7z a unsigned.ipa Payload

// Keep original Bundle ID
applesign -7 -i ${CODESIGNID} -m embedded.mobileprovision unsigned.ipa -o ready.ipa

// Set Bundle ID
// applesign -7 -i ${CODESIGNID} -b yd.com.rusty.repackaged -m embedded.mobileprovision unsigned.ipa -o ready.ipa

ios-deploy -b ready.ipa

Sideload iOS app

ios-deploy -b myapp-resigned.ipa        // defaults to send over wifi
ios-deploy -b -W myapp-resigned.ipa     // uses USB
ios-deploy -B | grep -i funky           // list Bundle IDs

Troubleshoot codesign / iOS Deploy

Title Detail
Missing Device ID Check Provisioning Profile (embedded.mobileprovision) included device's UUID
Check code sign key has not expired Code Signing keys expire. The timeframe for the paid iOS Developer license is one-year. For the free developer signing key, it is much shorter.
Wrong Code-Signing Key check the Code Signing Key was NOT an iPhone Distribution key
identity is no longer valid Error 0xe8008018: The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid. Make sure that the Apple Development key was selected when running security find-identity -v -p codesigning, I hit this error when I selected a Developer ID Application. I should have selected the ID associated to Apple Development credential.
Code Signing Keys Match check the Code Signing Key used when creating the Provisioning Profile matched the Code Signing Key selected when repackaging and code signing.
XCode check When generating an app - to get hold of embedded.mobileprovision file - remember the Code signing options are different for each Project Target and ProjectTests.
Delete Old Apps check no old app is installed on the phone [ that was signed with a different key ] but has the same Bundle ID.
Entitlements overload You can have a Provisioning Profile (embedded.mobileprovision) that contained more Capabilities than the app you are re-signing.
Clone Entitlements When the app is complicated, with many entitlements, sometimes it is easier just to --clone-entitlements with Applesign.
Wrong Bundle ID When you add specific Entitlments you need a unique Bundle ID. Check whether you need to change Bundle ID when re-signing.
Network settings Settings\General\Profiles and Device Management to trust the Developer Profile and App. This won't happen if you are manually proxying or setting a local DNS server., when installing with iOS-deploy.

If none of the above work open Console.app on macOS. Select your device and set process:mobile_installation_proxy in the Search Bar. This will give details behind the sideloaded IPA error message.

Change iOS Version

WARNING: only change the minimum iOS version of a specific app's plist and not for the entire device. Things start to break - like calls into C libraries - when you change the device's read-only iOS version.

ssh onto device
root# cd /System/Library/CoreServices/
root# cat SystemVersion.plist
root# nano SystemVersion.plist
EDIT THE VALUE.  KEEP THE OLD VALUE!
