Questions about objc_util
-
Okay. I have a few questions. When I look at the examples for using the objc_util once you load the objc class you can use it. But all the times I try to load a class (after loading the needed framework) I can't call any methods till I call .alloc() and then the functions still don't output the expected output. I have even tried calling .init() but that does not help.
Any idea where I am going wrong. I will attach some code I am trying in a little bit. (At school and have to take a test.)

every objc class is a little different. generally you have to do something like
obj=ObjCClass('SoMeClass').alloc().init()
then you can call instance methods on obj. You probably should discuss specifics, which class is giving you trouble?

Well I have been trying to use CUTWiFiManager with I can get an instance of just fine. But nothing returns as it should. Most output defaults that don't reflect what the values are. Like a call to .wifiDevice(). At first I believed that was because as it turns out that class is part of apples private framework. I am now trying with ones from the normal framework I will be back in a bit.

Okay well it was just my error. Appearantly you can't load the private frameworks and expect them to work. (But you can load them just fine..)

For a lot of private frameworks, the app using them needs special entitlements (part of the code's cryptographic signature) that basically only Apple's own apps (Settings etc.) have.
