Help/Support Advice Needed For Next Step

Hey guys

So have been reading and reading and asking a-lot of questions about developing tweaks for iOS games - Motiviation for me from all you guys (thank you)

So i have a process and I wanted to get some feedback if I am missing something before I keep diving deeper and deeper

So far I have done and learnt the following things

Install Theos and all known developments tools to me
Test Theos and Compile a simple tweak that gives me a uialert popup box when the iphone resprings

From Here i knew that my THEOS and tweaks and compiling is working so i started moving onto learning about games hackings

I now know the following

Download apps from Itunes to computer and install via iFun box
Using iFunbox USB tunnel option I use all my commands for my iphone terminal through Drop bear since I am on Yalu on 10.1.1 (apparently openSSH doesnt work or its better to stay away from it incase things go sour)
Once installed I Decrypt the game via rasticrac
Once I have the new Decrypted IPA file I will then go and uninstall the current game and install the cracked game
Once the Cracked game is installed I then thin the Binary if need be and overwrite the old binary or just rename it.
I then create a class dump of that binary to get all the headers.

I know i am only touching the very tip of the iceberg but I am learning and I have a question

When I created those class dumps I now have a massive list of .h files which I will need to sift through and look for methods to hook into, but I don't want to do it on my iPhone as it will tedious. I was wondering if anyone has an IDE where I can download and install and program objective C code in it with the iPhone SDK, so it will have the capabilities of showing me possible predefined functions available that I can use and will auto populate certain syntax, plus it will allow me to sift through code so much easier as I will have it in an IDE and can view it a lot easier then an iPhone (i know i can view it with notepad++ but I was wondering if there is an IDE out there)

I will probably have more questions late hope to get some feedback on the process I am doing for a beginner does that seem like a good starting point and what could i be doing to better my self with that process

Any feedback would be amazing

Thanks in Advance

Don't worry about that jibber jabber you don't need this. Learn how to use a debugger like gdb or lldb then that's where the magic happens

Dont you find it tedious tho finding methods for hooking?

Dont you find it tedious tho finding methods for hooking?

I don't use this method as it's pointless with sub_x games just use flex to find useful stuff . I use flex to find the applicationdidbecomeactive for popup thats it
