Feel free to contribute if you want to create/maintain it!\n\nThis script is inspired from the work of the organization Exodus Privacy and its platform [εxodus](https://github.com/Exodus-Privacy/exodus), for Android trackers.\n\n## How to use\n\nYou need the IPA file of the app you want to check the tracker libraries.\n\n 1. Clone or [download](https://github.com/octo-technology/ios-trackers-detect/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) the project.\n 2. If you download the repo unzip it.\n 3. With a terminal go inside this new folder (normally `cd ios-trackers-detect/` if you used `git clone`).\n 4. And now you can run the Python script, like this:\n\n ```python\n python3 ipa_retrieve_dependencies.py --ipa_path ./YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME.ipa\n ```\n\n **Info**: The `--ipa_path` argument can be relative `./` or `../`, or absolute `/` or `C:/`.\n\n 5. If the program run without error(s) you now have the tracker list printed in your terminal, **enjoy**!\n\n## How the script works\n\n 1. Create a temp folder (`./temp`)\n 2. Duplicate the ipa file you specified in the `--ipa_path` argument to this temp folder.\n 3. Rename/change this ipa file extension from `.ipa` to `.zip`\n 4. Unzip the archive.\n 5. Go inside the un-archived subfolder `Frameworks/`.\n 6. Filter the list of elements in that folder.\n 7. Print the filtered list we created in the previous step.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Focto-technology%2Fios-trackers-detect","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Focto-technology%2Fios-trackers-detect","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Focto-technology%2Fios-trackers-detect/lists"}
