I'd like to try and fix some open source GitHub project that uses the allApplications
from LSApplicationWorkspace
call from private API which list all installed application on the device.
The method works fine in the simulator, but on a device running iOS 11, it returns zero results.
So First, I've downloaded the IPSW file, and opened it I got the following list of files :
-rw-r--r--@ 1 adam.k staff 15139280 Oct 7 08:16 kernelcache.release.iphone9
-rw-r--r--@ 1 adam.k staff 2462102996 Oct 7 11:25 058-59998-354.dmg
drwxrwxr-x@ 14 adam.k staff 476 Oct 7 11:34 Firmware
-rw-r--r--@ 1 adam.k staff 59088923 Oct 7 11:44 058-59982-359.dmg
-rw-r--r--@ 1 adam.k staff 59801627 Oct 7 11:44 058-59988-357.dmg
-rw-r--r--@ 1 adam.k staff 3282 Oct 7 11:49 Restore.plist
-rw-r--r--@ 1 adam.k staff 257603 Oct 7 11:53 BuildManifest.plist
According to some resources from from the web, I understood that the relevant image here is the largest dmg file. after open it, I got the following mount /Volumes/Tigris15A432.D10D101OS
when looking for the right framework in this image, I got :
System/Library/Frameworks/MobileCoreServices.framework
but it seems that it doesn't contain any dylib/macho files and I couldn't find the symbol...
However, In the Info.plist of that framework it says : CFBundleExecutable MobileCoreServices
but I couldn't find this MobileCoreServices file anywhere in the image ... any idea where should I find it ?
