Add the Cydia repo http://7we.win/cydia/ in Cydia, and you can install AppleTraceLoader, which then makes it easier to trace the objc_msgSend of any app.

Installation

On a jailbroken phone, open http://7we.win/cydia/, click Add to Cydia, refresh, then search for AppleTraceLoader and install it.

Configuration

Open Settings -> AppleTrace, where you can choose which app to trace.

After selecting, restart the chosen App, and an appletracedata directory will be generated under that App’s directory.

Refer to the AppleTrace https://github.com/everettjf/AppleTrace documentation to generate the trace html file.

Setting Up the Cydia Repo

Here I used GitHub Pages to set up the Cydia Repo. The address is as follows:

Refer to AloneMonkey’s Cydia Repo https://github.com/AloneMonkey/cydiarepo

It Could Also Have a UI

Using frida’s js interface together with Electron, you could develop a UI that makes it more convenient to fetch appletracedata. But this is neither important nor urgent, so I won’t spend time tinkering with it.

• 安装
• 配置
• Cydia Repo 的搭建
• 还可以有个UI界面

在cydia中添加cydia repo http://7we.win/cydia/ ，可以安装AppleTraceLoader，然后可以更方便的trace任何一个app的objc_msgSend了。

安装

越狱手机打开 http://7we.win/cydia/ ， 点击 Add to Cydia，刷新后搜索 AppleTraceLoader 安装即可。

配置

打开 设置->AppleTrace，可以选择trace哪个app。

选择后，重新启动选择的App，就会在对应App的目录下生成appletracedata目录了。

参考AppleTrace https://github.com/everettjf/AppleTrace 的文档就可以生成trace的html文件了。

Cydia Repo 的搭建

这里使用了GitHub Pages搭建的Cydia Repo。地址如下：

参考 AloneMonkey 的Cydia Repo https://github.com/AloneMonkey/cydiarepo

还可以有个UI界面

使用frida的js接口，配合Electron可以开发个界面更方便的获取appletracedata，不过此事不重要不紧急，就不投入时间倒腾啦。
