ipa Extraction/ Web Scraping

Hello everyone,


I was wondering if there is anyway to extract an ipa from my device and put it on to my mac and edit files on it. (Not game cheating editing school app thats on app store to fix bugs). The app developer won't read the bug report forum so I wanted to take matters into my own hands and decide to fix it and add some stuff. The isn't copyright and is technically open source as its entire concept is from an open srouce gradebook that allows you to view your grades on your phone but the UI and login is notrioush. My second and last question is, does anyone have a good tutorial on how to input data on a table from a website onto my app (Preferably swift) Also the websites robot.txt allows scraping. THe reason I need this it to put the grades from the system onto the app into a clean interface.


Thank you for reading

No. You can get the

.ipa
for the app by downloading it from iTunes [1] and then unpack that (it’s actually a
.zip
) but there’s no supported way to make changes and put the modified app back on the device.

The isn't copyright and is technically open source …

If it’s open source why not build it from source and then make your changes there?

My second and last question is …

You should start a second thread for that question.
