42- Performing runtime security assessment of iOS applications during authorized penetration tests
43- Inspecting iOS keychain, filesystem, and memory for sensitive data exposure
44- Bypassing client-side security controls (SSL pinning, jailbreak detection) during security testing
45- Evaluating iOS app behavior at runtime without access to source code

187| **Objection** | Runtime mobile exploration toolkit built on Frida that provides pre-built scripts for common security testing tasks |
188| **Frida Gadget** | Shared library injected into app process to enable Frida instrumentation without jailbreak |
189| **Keychain** | iOS secure credential storage system; Objection can dump items accessible to the target app's keychain access group |
190| **SSL Pinning Bypass** | Runtime modification of certificate validation logic to allow proxy interception of HTTPS traffic |

203- **App crashes on attach**: Some apps implement Frida detection. Use `--startup-command` to hook anti-Frida checks early in the app lifecycle.
204- **Keychain access scope**: Objection can only dump keychain items within the app's access group. System keychain items require separate jailbreak-level tools.
205- **Swift name mangling**: Swift method names are mangled in the runtime. Use `ios hooking list classes` with grep to find demangled names.
206- **Non-persistent changes**: All Objection modifications are runtime-only and reset on app restart. Document findings immediately.
