I have written a simple calculation App and had always tested it on my IPad, it's necessary for another Project from me.
But i forgot to commit the Project to my remoted git Repo an formatted the Disk. Now I only have the deployed App Version on my IPad and I would realy like to know if it is possible to restore somehow the source Code.
To write this App again would take me Days.

  • Maybe time to consider implementing a backup strategy ? Cheap external drive with Time Machine, perhaps ? And/or something like CrashPlan ? – Paul R Apr 15 '16 at 07:18
  • I'm already write this calculation steps a second time. It seems there are no other ways. A hard lesson for me. – feldeOne Apr 15 '16 at 07:22

Max what you can achieve is to get the assembly code.

Getting the Objective-C source code from binary is not possible since there are indefinite number of ways to represent the same assembly.

  • The Assembly Code wouldn't help me since it would take more time translate the assembly to source Code. The Only Thing I have now is the XCAppdata Container file, but it also doesn't help me – feldeOne Apr 15 '16 at 07:07

not like .swf file of adobe flash, the binary file structure of iOS is not open source ... ..., so i think it's so hard even impossible to get the objective-c or swift source code from the binary file ...
