Jacob Bartlett(@jacobtechtavern):How do we reverse engineer iOS frameworks? The secret is actually pretty straightforward once I tell you. The iOS Simulator runtime is bundled with an entire copy of the iOS SDK, and it’s fully accessible on the MacOS file system. There’s a whole lot of interesting stuff we can look through. Stuff that has kept me busy for a long time.
