First

Choose a simple iOS app and download it from App Store.
You must have a jailbreaked idevice or you cannot dump the decrypted executable file from memory.


here are some tools suggestion:

Disassemblers: IDA Pro, Hopper Disassembler
I suggest using hopper, it could modify the code and save it back to .ipa. By the way, it is cheaper than IDA.

Runtime instrumentation: Cycript, Frida

Tweaks/Packages: OpenSSH, usbmuxd, libimobiledevice, iFile or Filza(Option), AppSync Unified

Start from this free book : GitHub - iosre/iOSAppReverseEngineering: The world’s 1st book of very detailed iOS App reverse engineering skills :) which is wrote by owner of this bbs.
