    Fast iOS executable dumper

  • If you have any experience as an iOS developer or have jailbreak tweak development interest, we are also looking for help with making a tool to mass decrypt the nearly 500k apps we've scraped. As it stands, the apps we've scraped are all encrypted and a tool is needed to run these through decryption scripts like https://github.com/KJCracks/Clutch/. Making a daemon to run on device and automate the process of installing/dumping/uninstalling is the most simple option we've come up with.
