Is there any graceful way could revert the hooked method to original implementation on iOS?


With CydiaSubstrate we could easily hook the methods as below, but I want to know how can I uninstall the hooking and revert the implementation to original one? Thank you!

static IMP original_UIView_setFrame_;
void replaced_UIView_setFrame_(UIView* self, SEL _cmd, CGRect frame) {  // Note the implicit self and _cmd parameters are needed explicitly here.
  CGRect originalFrame = self.frame;
  NSLog("Changing frame of %p from %@ to %@", self, NSStringFromCGRect(originalFrame), NSStringFromCGRect(frame));
  original_UIView_setFrame_(self, _cmd, frame);    // Remember to pass self and _cmd.
}
...
MSHookMessageEx([UIView class], @selector(setFrame:), (IMP)replaced_UIView_setFrame_, (IMP *)&original_UIView_setFrame_);

Solution

  • You just need to exchange the implementations again, i.e. just call the following a second time:

    MSHookMessageEx([UIView class], @selector(setFrame:), (IMP)replaced_UIView_setFrame_, (IMP *)&original_UIView_setFrame_);
    

    When you exchange the implementations you are swapping them around, so by swapping them again you get back to the originals.
