are you just looking for the source code to an app so you can amend it to produce your own app? Or was there another reason you needed the sourcecode?

- danielhunt 14y agoI can see major benefits from a learning point of view, and admit to wishing for the source code of some apps on my own phone for this purpose. There are only so many HelloWorld tutorials I can read/implement (in other languages, non-mobile), before getting bored of doing tiny, completely unrealistic things with code. Seeing how a larger codebase, particularly one that I've been using as an app for some time, is structured and hangs off device services (lbs, vibration, or even just graphics) is of huge interest to me
- umut 14y agoactually i have been developing a pretty advanced app with more than a million downloads... the main reason for me to ask was, if any company is brave enough to show what's running under the hood... It could be a good exercise for companies like Twitter to show everything.
- celticninja 14y agoI did not intend any offence, I too would like to see the source code for some of the apps I use to see what is going on under the hood. Not sure how easy it would be to open them up given that cracked apps appear on jailbreak sites all the time, if the DRM can be removed there must be access to the source code.
