I never really got into low-level decompiling, examining machine code, or any advanced coding topics like that. When articles talk about code in iOS betas revealing upcoming features, what do they mean? I thought iOS was famously closed-source. How can someone get any details from any code?
@alexhall I am not an expert, but just by extracting strings from binaries you can learn a few things. E.g. the command "strings" on nix-likes prints sequences of ASCII characters from any file; "strings /usr/bin/cat" prints a lot of "interesting" stuff.
I suppose you could extract images and stuff like that.
Java decompiles pretty well easily, I assume Swift/Objective C/and others do not, thought.
