Route the dump through GLib.info() using the new g_task_describe_alive_tasks(), so the agent's dump reaches logcat where its stdio is not visible. Bump the GLib wrap to the branch holding that function.
frida-core
Frida core library.
- Lets you inject your own JavaScript instrumentation code into other processes, optionally with your own C code for performance-sensitive bits.
- Acts as a logistics layer that packages up GumJS into a shared library.
- Provides a two-way communication channel for talking to your scripts, if needed, and later unload them.
- Also lets you enumerate installed apps, running processes, and connected devices.
- Written in Vala, with OS-specific glue code in C/Objective-C/asm.
Binaries
Typically used through one of the available language bindings:
E.g.:
$ pip install frida-tools # CLI tools
$ pip install frida # Python bindings
$ npm install frida # Node.js bindings
Or, for static linking into your own project written in a C-compatible language, download a devkit from the Frida releases page.
Distro Packaging
For building a shared library suitable for distro packaging:
$ ./configure --enable-shared --without-prebuilds=sdk && make
This builds libfrida-core-1.0.so against system dependencies,
while frida-agent.so is built using Frida's SDK (with its GLib
fork, needed for the agent's inject/unload lifecycle).
