Crashes for Apple system apps

Open imkh opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

Hi, I'm trying to use Lookin to inspect Apple system apps specifically (Apple Music, Reminders, etc.)

However, while your tweak works great for third-party apps (any downloaded from the App Store, or sideloaded), a crash occurs for all Apple system apps.

First things first, I had to pseudo-sign the LookinServer binary, otherwise I would get the following error in Console.app:

[Lookin] LookinLoader load failed:dlopen(/var/jb/Library/Application Support/LookinLoader/LookinServer.framework/LookinServer, 0x0002): 
tried: '/var/jb/Library/Application Support/LookinLoader/LookinServer.framework/LookinServer' (code signature in <9440263C-E039-385A-

Focus on the error message: not valid for use in process: mapped file has no cdhash, completely unsigned? Code has to be at least ad-hoc signed.

Then, following the iPhone Wiki's guide to bypass code signatures:

$ ssh mobile@<ios_device_ip_address>
$ sudo ldid -S /var/jb/Library/Application\ Support/LookinLoader/LookinServer.framework/LookinServer

I'm now able to inspect third-party apps:

However, for all Apple system apps, Lookin is able to "see" it, but the app crashes on my iPhone as soon as I attempt to connect:

Any ideas what could be the root cause? Are you able to inspect Apple system apps on your iPhone 13 on iOS 15?

Thanks!
