Video: Debugging An Undebuggable App

Bryce Bostwick takes us on a journey into the binary of TopWidget⁺ — an iOS app that blocks debuggers from attaching, exits early when code is injected, and even has the audacity to crash your entire phone just for fun. Why the app goes to such extremes will be explained in an upcoming video. If you'd rather not watch a video, Bryce has also written an article on the topic.

Bryce's channel is a goldmine of in-depth iOS content. My favorite video of his — and the reason I started following his channel — is when he unsolicitedly fixed a bug in the Disneyland app. If you're interested in iOS development, definitely check out both his blog and YouTube channel!
