Decompile my own app ipa extracted from iphone simulator?

No that's not possible. Your source code is gone. You can find some recovery software that tries to restore deleted files.

If you have used any source control management like CVS, SVN, Mercurial or GIT that would have saved you. Anyway Lesson learnt from this donot rely on your local harddisk for backup.

Thanks. I supposed that, but I needed a more expert opinion. The hard disk is unrecoverable.

That's why I am trying this such things :( – Jorge Oct 14 at 11:42.

You might be able to salvage the overall structure of your code by using class-dump on the executable binary. It will not recover all the code, but should be able to recover all the class definitions. That is, if you have not stripped your binary from debug symbols.

Regarding the harddisk being unrecoverable I guess it all depends on how much money you are willing to spend on it. There are companies that specialize in recovering data from crashed disks, and to my best of knowledge they are able to recover practically any type of disk failure. The question is whether you are ready to pay that price, or if it would be cheaper to just reimplement the code.

It is only way,if you can recover your hard disk. You can not get data from . Ipa file.

Well, actually I could extract all the resources from the ipa file, because those are not encrypted in the simulator, but not the code. Thanks anyway. – Jorge Oct 14 at 11:46 Ya,you can get only data not coding files.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
