Usage
This tool connects to iOS device using Frida. By default, it uses USB, but can use an remote connection too.
It will attach to the requested application, either by name, bundle id or PID. If name or bundle is used, but the application is not running, it will be spawned first.
It can, also, attach to the frontmost application.
For more information, use zipar -h to get help.
Issues
If the following error occurs, please open the application before dumping:
- causes device to reboot
- lost connection
- unexpected error while probing dyld of target process

The Frida scripts need to be compiled using frida-compile, and the package frida-tools is needed to run it.
If you modify any Typescript code, you need to run npm run build inside agent directory.
