When I try to disassemble the stock iOS apps (not app store ones) with otool it isn’t split into different methods. It’s just one massive section. Here’s the command I’m using:
otool -tV theApp.app/theApp >~/Desktop/output.txt
Is there a way to get the disassembly split into methods?
No, there isn’t. Those applications have been stripped, which means they contain no information about where functions begin or end. However, since objective-c is dynamic, any objective-c methods will have their name and address in the objective-c segment. You can get this information using
otool -ov, but it is easier to interpret it if you use class-dump-z, which provides objective-c headers and will include the addresses of each method if you use the-Aoption. After you have the addresses, you can go through your file and separate it into methods manually.
