Stolen laptop: code lost, but app on iPhone.

Hi everybody,


So I am in the midst of creating an app on XCode, but unfortunately, my laptop got stolen a week or so ago. This means that every single bit of the code I had on my laptop is gone since I (very foolishly) did not back it up. However, whenever I would test the app, I would simulate it on my personal iPhone. So I still have that app on my iPhone, but I do not have the (lots and lots of) code for the app. Is there a way for me to, say, connect my iPhone to my laptop, and get the code on XCode? Or am I simply doomed to write everything all over again?


Thanks!

Not at all that simple, no, especially since you no longer have a laptop...


An app is just a .zip file. You can get a copy, change the suffix from .ipa and unpack, but you'll only be able to scavange certain basic assets, not the code itself.
