05 Apr 2025

We’re excited to announce Frida 16.7.5, which brings improvements to our build system and API, as well as critical fixes for Darwin platforms. Here’s what’s new:

Darwin: Fix double free in find_module_by_address. (Thanks to @mrmacete.)
Darwin: Update thread list pointer carving to support recent iOS versions. On these versions, the thread list pointer within pthread_from_mach_thread_np() is referenced via ADRP + LDR instead of ADRP + ADD. (Thanks to @mrmacete for the contribution.)
API: Fix VAPI entries for sealed classes.
API: Remove some accidentally exposed types.
API: Seal classes not meant to be subclassed, preventing unintended subclassing.
Build System: Provide Gio-2.0.gir for convenience, so users won’t need any GObject Introspection packages installed when building language bindings and consuming Frida as a subproject.
Build System: Fix frida_girdir for the uninstalled case. It now correctly points to the directory containing the refined .gir files, not the raw ones from the Vala compiler.
