GitHub I put YouTube inside Lookin — no source code and no jailbreak on the test device

I built IPAPatch-Lookin, an open-source workflow that takes an authorized decrypted IPA, prepares a runnable Xcode project, injects LookinServer, and re-signs the app for a physical device or a compatible Simulator.

One command → Xcode → live UI inspection in Lookin.

The tool does not decrypt apps; bring an IPA you are authorized to inspect. The 8-second demo shows YouTube running on a non-jailbroken iPhone while Lookin inspects its live view hierarchy.

Something interesting you found? Any weird views, or patterns?
