Edit 2: Well I'll be damned. An extremely knowledgeable and kind stranger just reverse-engineered the whole thing and poured it into a python script. And it's only Monday. See comments for the script.
Edit: Oh wow, this community is already on fire. Thanks for your advice everybody, I didn't even think of intercepting the downloads in transit! Brilliant.
I will try to see how far I can get there, but that does sound much easier than rummaging around in iOS. Thank you all :)
Hello,
I’m trying to get the downloaded audio out of an iOS app, but I struggle because the information I can find is mostly rather old, needs some additional software I need to pay for, etc. The content is downloaded post installing the app, so simply accessing the IPA doesn’t help.
I have this app called naturespace (see naturespace.org), it’s an app that has really good recordings of rain, thunderstorms, etc. In my opinion those recordings are far better than anything I’ve heard so far.
Now, I did pay for the content, but the app hasn’t been updated for years now, and there’s also been no new content for years as well. I wrote to the owners but didn’t get any response. I guess you could consider it abandoned at this point.
Since I fear that anytime soon the app stops working, I’d like to save that content.
I’m a bit tech savvy, I can work with CLI and such, but I’m not a professional coder or hacker, any help is appreciated.
Not for very long, but not for the reasons countless sci-fi movies and shows have told you: you’ll neither explode nor freeze to death.
People think of vacuum as something massive, but it’s actually just 1 bar difference.
Atmospheric pressure is (roughly) 1 bar, which is comparable to 10 m of water. So getting put in a vacuum is like ascending from a 10 m dive.
You don’t implode at 10 m depth, and you also don’t swell up on Mount Everest, which is roughly at 0.3 bar.
The biggest threat to your life is the actual decompression.
If you’re abruptly thrown into the vacuum, and you don’t manage to exhale immediately, the air in your lungs will expand and rip your lungs. Which is one of the biggest dangers of diving.
But more likely is that it‘ll just rip the air out of your body, which probably isn’t good for either your lungs nor your intestines.
You won’t freeze to death, because there’s no medium to transport the energy away, so you’ll only lose heat through the actual radiation, which takes pretty long. Much longer than in cold water, anyway.
Also, your blood won’t boil, since it’s protected by the skin. Maybe the exposed areas, your eyes, your saliva.
So, if you survive the initial decompression, your chances aren’t that bad, after all.
