How to view NSString defined in a given iOS ipa file

iphone objective-c ios security

I'm not sure it's possible directly with strings on an ipa, but you can do the following:

Rename your .ipa file to have the .zip extension. ipa's are simply renamed zips.
Extract (it should create a directory named Payload)
cd into the Payload/<app-name>.app
You should have a file named <app-name> in the current directory.
Call strings <app-name> | grep secret.
