Let's create the wildest home screen effects that iOS has ever seen! Demo Project: github.com/bryce-co/AnimatedA... Text post for this video: bryce.co/animated-app-icons/
Came for the animated icons, stayed for the insane low level debugging skills. What a gem of a channel, please don't stop making videos, I binged all of them already.
this is sick, I never thought this would be possible on something as proprietary as iOS. hope you get some more recognition cause after watching your other videos too you've become one of my favourite coding channels
Its probably already been asked, but the iOS Clock app shows the current time as an icon, there must be another way to animate an icon somehow or they're just holding out the secret sauce for themselves
This is a really cool video. You’ve highlighted the perks of knowing reverse engineering really well with excellent explanations. Good job, and I had fun watching this.
Not possible, the approach in this video is not playing any animated video or gif in the app icon, it is replacing the icon with a sequence of images that looks like the icon is animated. RU-vid videos won’t work
@@deepansharya1111 Possible, but pointlessly hard and pretty useless. You could *technically* download the video, separate it frame by frame.... too much work already.
@@Amirka1719 @jackg_ I knew that already & thanks for reaffirming. I mentioned it’s not possible because you can’t download the video in real-time and simultaneously convert each frame to an image and update it in the app icon, not to mention you’d also require youtube premium features to keep the background video playing at all times in case you hop back in the app and want the video to continue playing from the frame you last saw on app icon.
Mark my words: Apple will make this harder to do in an upcoming version of iOS, and then a few versions later they'll impmement this as an "innovative" new feature
@@JoelGorostietathe clock, compass, and calendar icons are rendered directly by Springboard. you could argue that it's sorta hardcoded into the OS and not really a specific function call that the clock app is uniquely tapping into
Dude this is so cool. Great edit, was super satisfying to feel like I was problem solving with you, even though I've never written a line of swift. Great great stuff. Looking forward to checking out your other vids!
Thank you! Love the intuitive yet technical detailled explanations of how to figure out block formats, as well as mentioning what happens under the hood 👩💻
Nice video! One miniscule thing I wanted to note though is that the "LS" in the APIs does not mean "Lock Screen", it means "Launch Services" and the APIs communicate with the "lsd" daemon :P.
Serves me right for trying to guess an acronym on the fly - especially since we weren't even looking at the lock screen for this one 🤦 Thanks Lars / appreciate you!
I feel like this is going to be the future of app icons and brand logos, flowing, moving, more eye catching icons or advertisements placed throughout all storefronts or even in side advertising the products themselves.
i’ve created something similar to this in the shortcuts app except it changes your wallpaper to make it a video. never ended up finishing it since ios 17 puts a 50ms limit on how fast actions can run making the fps too low to be practical. (this is good though since you can kinda crash ios by changing between wallpaper states too fast, i learned the hard way)
This is awesome, I’m really glad I was served your channel. You’ve earned a new sub. Your explanation of faking the Boolean success was very interesting
@@thatETTYT I know, that's why it would happen in Android Launchers first/only. Apple doesn't care about making good changes until their products are below average or until the EU gives them rules to follow (like the USB C port).
Great introduction to reversing! Very enjoyable. I'm a bit envious of how IDA handles those blocks; Binary Ninja requires more manual work to get them decently readable. :)
Nice work 🙌 Great showcase of the more advanced debugging capabilities of using lldb and decompiler It would be funny to see the reaction of the Apple Review team 😅
Loved the video and the low-level debugging with such great explaining One thing that kind of OCD-d me out - your window management could be more consistent and visually appealing with a window manager line rectangle (free)
I built my own setup for calling private API's in Swift that doesn't require a header file. Instead, though, you have to define the function shape as a typealias. But it works!
Granted, I'm more of a security researcher than a dev, so it may not really be useful in these cases. My method dynamically links at runtime, which may have performance issues.
Please make more videos and blog posts! I have been watching and rewatching all of your videos trying to absorb all the crazy knowledge you are sharing. I am also enjoying your blog posts. You are opening my eyes on how anything can be reversed, modded, and changed :D!!
