[hoosierfan24]

Ok so i created an app a little while ago, and i lost my computer broke that had all the source code on it, and i want to make an update to the app but all i have is the .ipa file and i dont want to start over from scratch again on the app is there any way to recover the code from the ipa file?

While it's technically possible to "decompile" a binary, chances are any "code" you get will not even be readable, much less usable.

In the future you should always have backups. Look at a service like Dropbox to safeguard your data, especially something like source code.

Even better, use a proper source control system like Git, Mercurial or Subversion.
