Interesting. Quick question, how would you deal with things that call APIs via, for example, NSSelectorFromString, where the String is built in an obfuscated way?

As I remember, the analysis doesn't handle calls that can't be determined statically.

So the analysis would fail to determine the method and class of a obfuscated string.
