Decision Matrix: Testing Approach

Device State IPA Access Approach
Jailbroken Not needed Direct Frida server + Objection attach
Non-jailbroken Available Patch IPA with objection patchipa
Non-jailbroken Not available Request IPA from client or use device management
Emulator N/A Limited: Frida on Corellium or similar platform
