Hey y'all - completely overwhelmed by the response to this. More videos on the way! ❤
Hi
Hey! Can you make the GitHub icon convert into the Pedro Pedro Racoon?
can you try to make a video on how to do this on windows?
"oh nice, animated icons ! I guess this won't be too complicated"
Opens IDA
💀
Underrated comment of the century
we like to make things complicated here
if you're not opening your decompiler are you even having a good time?
Takes me back to using IDA to remove the 7 day free trial limit from IDA (for science)
I'm waiting for someone to port Bad Apple to this
Or running doom on iOS icon
@@generimposter How to control
@@generimposter or watching ht1t on the icon

Came for the animated icons, stayed for the insane low level debugging skills. What a gem of a channel, please don't stop making videos, I binged all of them already.
You don't have a tag?
real
This channel is scratching an itch I genuinely didn’t even know I had
this is sick, I never thought this would be possible on something as proprietary as iOS. hope you get some more recognition cause after watching your other videos too you've become one of my favourite coding channels
I guess they wouldn't allow you to submit apps with this trick to AppStore though
Pretty much anything is possible on iOS as long as you get a valid code signature. Just won't get it approved for App Stores
How did they make the clock icon? I wish they let us
They will, when TikTok eats another half of our brain.
They eventually will, 100%
or even cooler- the compass icon
It's not actually an icon, it's rendered by SpringBoard.
@@69bruh wait what makes the compass icon special? Seems like a normal static icon to me.
@@mebeim rotate your phone on the short axis for a surprise
Its probably already been asked, but the iOS Clock app shows the current time as an icon, there must be another way to animate an icon somehow or they're just holding out the secret sauce for themselves
Mark my words: Apple will make this harder to do in an upcoming version of iOS, and then a few versions later they'll impmement this as an "innovative" new feature
Look at the clock app icon, it the current time and you can see the second hand moving. They must do something like this
@@JoelGorostietathe clock, compass, and calendar icons are rendered directly by Springboard. you could argue that it's sorta hardcoded into the OS and not really a specific function call that the clock app is uniquely tapping into
@@Brixstercompass too? it looks static to me
@@klnsbliOS 17 removed the moving compass.
they will absolutely remove access to the undocumented api in the next update
Hear me out: Original iPhoneOS RUclips icon as an animated icon that plays an actual youtube video
Rick roll
Not possible, the approach in this video is not playing any animated video or gif in the app icon, it is replacing the icon with a sequence of images that looks like the icon is animated. RUclips videos won’t work
@@deepansharya1111 Possible, but pointlessly hard and pretty useless. You could *technically* download the video, separate it frame by frame.... too much work already.
@@deepansharya1111 , actualy, a video is nothing else that a bunch of icons/images changed fast enought not to notice)
@@Amirka1719 @jackg_ I knew that already & thanks for reaffirming. I mentioned it’s not possible because you can’t download the video in real-time and simultaneously convert each frame to an image and update it in the app icon, not to mention you’d also require youtube premium features to keep the background video playing at all times in case you hop back in the app and want the video to continue playing from the frame you last saw on app icon.
This is a really cool video. You’ve highlighted the perks of knowing reverse engineering really well with excellent explanations. Good job, and I had fun watching this.
Jesus I didn't expect to delve into assembly here , very cool...
Thank you for this video. Just binged all of them. The best reverse engineering iOS content I have seen on the internet 🚀
are u working for Apple? Or how tf someone can be this good? level God.
Dude this is so cool.
Great edit, was super satisfying to feel like I was problem solving with you, even though I've never written a line of swift. Great great stuff.
Looking forward to checking out your other vids!
Thank you! Love the intuitive yet technical detailled explanations of how to figure out block formats, as well as mentioning what happens under the hood 👩💻
This is actually super cool, deserves more exposure ❤️
I think I just found the most underrated channel on RUclips, great work!!
Overrated*
never dev'd on mac and watched the whole thing. super cool watch man!
That workaround is actually amazing, thank you YT algorithm for finally recommending me a channel I want to watch
This most inspiring and refreshing iOS development material out lately. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Nice video!
One miniscule thing I wanted to note though is that the "LS" in the APIs does not mean "Lock Screen", it means "Launch Services" and the APIs communicate with the "lsd" daemon :P.
Serves me right for trying to guess an acronym on the fly - especially since we weren't even looking at the lock screen for this one 🤦 Thanks Lars / appreciate you!
You can actually display informations with this (like the clock app displays the current time) cool!
Incredible technical deep dive. Great work mate!
This is nothing short of wizardry. Please PLEASE don't stop posting
This is awesome! I love watching your videos, I'm sick of all the beginner tutorials. Keep it up!
I feel like this is going to be the future of app icons and brand logos, flowing, moving, more eye catching icons or advertisements placed throughout all storefronts or even in side advertising the products themselves.
* bows with respect
Man this video deserves a million views!, subscribed
Wow! Loving this video!
Impressive! Please upload more content like this
Its complicated af yet i understood every little bit. Youre good at this
This is amazing and needs to be used more
First time I actually understand decomp. Great job!
Your debugging is over the top!
Great video!
Incredible work, thanks for the video and the source code!
Wish I'd seen this back when I was in Mobile App Dev class during the semester for IOS. I so would've shown this off in one of my app challenges
this is sick!! subbed almost immediately :)
This is awesome man! 🙌
This insanely impressive. definitely one my newer programming ytbers to follow 🔥
i’ve created something similar to this in the shortcuts app except it changes your wallpaper to make it a video. never ended up finishing it since ios 17 puts a 50ms limit on how fast actions can run making the fps too low to be practical.
(this is good though since you can kinda crash ios by changing between wallpaper states too fast, i learned the hard way)
This is awesome, haha! 🎉 As a mobile developer myself, I really enjoy watching this kind of content, and I didn't know it was possible 😂
This is awesome, I’m really glad I was served your channel. You’ve earned a new sub. Your explanation of faking the Boolean success was very interesting
Holy crap this is insane. Thank you THANK YOU for making this video
wow that is amazing. great video
This is genuinely so impressive
You are just on another level, my friend ;-)
Nice work 🙌 Great showcase of the more advanced debugging capabilities of using lldb and decompiler
It would be funny to see the reaction of the Apple Review team 😅
Great introduction to reversing! Very enjoyable. I'm a bit envious of how IDA handles those blocks; Binary Ninja requires more manual work to get them decently readable. :)
woah that's neat! subscribed :3
This is fantastic. Wow.
This is super cool and a side of iOS I wish I knew more about
you should do more of these Private API videos
Loved the video and the low-level debugging with such great explaining
One thing that kind of OCD-d me out - your window management could be more consistent and visually appealing with a window manager line rectangle (free)
you fly through that low level debugging. incredible
This video is extremely beautiful… nothing but respect! I never knew messing with iOS was this accessible 😛 (with the right knowledge and tools…)
Amazing. I could see production apps on macOS using this to update the app icon in the background
Hopefully not as it's a stupid hack
wow that's sick! quite involved trickery.
watch apple steal this and showcase it as "worlds first innovative animated icons"
Would you be able to achieve the same result with an animated png and calling the private API?
as a junior dev, amazed on your knowledge. I want to learn swift and things like this, you should teach US from 0 to hero.
i need a whole course about ios app reversing
This 100% should be in every Android Launcher, should be easy too.
IOS too, but Apple would NEVER give developers this much freedom, we're lucky they allow us to change the icons with this.
@@thatETTYT I know, that's why it would happen in Android Launchers first/only.
Apple doesn't care about making good changes until their products are below average or until the EU gives them rules to follow (like the USB C port).
This is incredible! How in the world does one start to learn any of the tricks he used here?!
Do you know how to stop iOS from autopausing music when you enter certain apps?
Now I want to watch shrek inside an icon on my homescreen.
Dude, that’s insane
Awesome!
This got me interested in iOS development
holy shit bro I NEED more Apple OS development and reverse engineering videos from you
So cool very nice channel in general
nice work
Before this video I dared to think I was a senior iOS dev
Why would I subscribe before watching the video.
edit after watching: This was awesome, subbed.
Broke my phone screen smashing that subscribe button
Dude this is legit 🙌 knowing me with my 0 knowledge of scripting, I probably would have tried this by using the shortcuts app 😅
Apple: "Nooo, you can't make animated app icons, that goes against our UI design principles!"
iOS Devs: :trollface:
I built my own setup for calling private API's in Swift that doesn't require a header file. Instead, though, you have to define the function shape as a typealias. But it works!
Granted, I'm more of a security researcher than a dev, so it may not really be useful in these cases. My method dynamically links at runtime, which may have performance issues.
this is so cool
What sorcery is this…
Woo you are awesome 🙌
Wow! This is so cool! Do you think the same effect is possible to replicate on Samsung phones?
This is so cool. I always wanted to see how reverse engineering private iOS APIs looked like.
Please make more videos and blog posts! I have been watching and rewatching all of your videos trying to absorb all the crazy knowledge you are sharing. I am also enjoying your blog posts. You are opening my eyes on how anything can be reversed, modded, and changed :D!!
never felt worse about my career as an ios dev lol
Instant subscribe!
Big Brain time, amazing video :)
cool, how does the clock icon work though? is it some kind of elevated app that doesn't have to go through the icon api?
this animation with youtube also worked with dislike that is so cool
You sir are going to be popular one day 🥶🥶
This is a) cool and b) probably a great way to get your app store submission rejected. :D
Thanks for the great lecture! Which version of IDA are you using? Is it possible to dissemble the dyld_shared_cache on the free version of IDA, I'm trying to make it work but seems pro version is needed. I just want to confirm with you.
Can you turn this into a jailbreak tweak? 👀
sick, howd you get the app on the phone?
reminds me of the wii icons
iOS programmers learning to code perfectly and practice all possible loopholes known to mankind, just to get animations on an icon.
I don't even know why I'm even watching this, I'm never going to daily drive an iPhone
Can you play bad apple on the home screen using app icons?
next up, put shrek movie as the app icon
