  "description_en": "IDA Pro plugin that cleans up Hex-Rays pseudocode and adds navigation helpers for iOS user-mode binaries and the kernelcache, enabling its components according to the loaded file. For Objective-C and Swift code it hides reference-counting calls, selectors and static class arguments, collapses os_log sequences, turns property helpers into plain assignments or field reads, lists cross-references to a method's selector, and adds Swift type declarations and readable stack strings. For kernelcaches it types the results of safeMetaCast and typed operator new, names and types kalloc_type_view globals, fixes this arguments and lists the possible implementations of a virtual call, while shared helpers remove __break calls, rewrite ranged conditions, collapse block initializers and mark outlined functions.",
  "description_zh": "一款 IDA Pro 插件，用于清理 Hex-Rays 伪代码，并为 iOS 用户态二进制和 kernelcache 提供导航辅助，会根据所加载的文件启用相应组件。对 Objective-C 和 Swift 代码，它可隐藏引用计数调用、选择器和静态类参数，折叠 os_log 调用序列，把属性辅助函数还原为普通赋值或字段读取，列出方法选择器的交叉引用，并加入 Swift 类型声明和可读的栈上字符串。对 kernelcache，它可为 safeMetaCast 和带类型的 operator new 的返回值设置类型，为 kalloc_type_view 全局变量命名并设置类型，修正 this 参数，并列出虚函数调用的所有可能实现；通用辅助功能则会移除 __break 调用、改写范围条件、折叠 block 初始化代码并标记外提（outlined）函数。",

  "requirements": [
    "Requires IDA Pro 9.0+, and most listed features rewrite Hex-Rays pseudocode, so they assume IDA's decompiler is available. Installation uses IDA's own pip to install the ida-ios-helper package, which needs Python 3.10+ and pins the author's idahelper library at 1.0.18, and then copies ida-plugin.json and ida_plugin_stub.py into IDA's plugins folder.",
    "Latest release at review: 1.0.23, published 2026-06-25 with the wheel and source archive that are also on PyPI. The reviewed master commit is six commits ahead, adding an Objective-C fast-enumeration component and Swift type fixes that are not yet released, and its ida-plugin.json still declares version 1.0.19 and pins ida-ios-helper==1.0.19.",
    "The iOS binaries or kernelcaches come from the analyst. Virtual-call navigation needs vtable symbols in the database, and typing typed operator new results first needs the Locate all kalloc_type_view action. A Swift importer added in June 2026 and not described in the README runs the separate ipsw tool's swift-dump command on the input file to name and type Swift class methods.",
    "CI only checks Python 3.10 compatibility with vermin and runs ruff lint and format checks; there are no automated tests. The repository also holds headless idat probing scripts and a Claude Code skill used while developing the plugin. GPL-3.0."

  "requirements_zh": [
    "需要 IDA Pro 9.0+；所列功能大多改写 Hex-Rays 伪代码，因此默认可使用 IDA 的反编译器。安装时先用 IDA 自带的 pip 安装 ida-ios-helper 软件包（需要 Python 3.10+，并将作者的 idahelper 库固定为 1.0.18 版），再把 ida-plugin.json 和 ida_plugin_stub.py 复制到 IDA 的插件目录。",
    "审阅时最新版本为 1.0.23，发布于 2026-06-25，附带与 PyPI 上相同的 wheel 和源码包。所审阅的 master 提交比该版本多六个提交，新增了 Objective-C 快速枚举组件和 Swift 类型修正，这些改动尚未发布；该提交中的 ida-plugin.json 仍声明版本 1.0.19，并固定依赖 ida-ios-helper==1.0.19。",
    "待分析的 iOS 二进制或 kernelcache 由分析者自行提供。虚函数调用导航要求数据库中存在 vtable 符号；为带类型的 operator new 返回值设置类型前，需先执行 Locate all kalloc_type_view 操作。2026 年 6 月加入、README 未作说明的 Swift 导入器会对输入文件运行独立工具 ipsw 的 swift-dump 命令，为 Swift 类方法命名并设置类型。",
    "CI 只用 vermin 检查 Python 3.10 兼容性，并运行 ruff 的静态检查和格式检查，没有自动化测试。仓库中还有开发插件时使用的无界面 idat 探测脚本和一个 Claude Code 技能。采用 GPL-3.0 许可。"
