Here is a minimal Python skeleton to brute-force simple XOR for a Scene.pkg:
The extracted code remains in V8 bytecode format and is not automatically decompiled back into readable JavaScript. Assets (JSON files, images, etc.) are extracted in their original human-readable form, but the core application logic remains as bytecode. Converting bytecode to readable JavaScript requires additional tools like the Ghidra Node.js plugin or other reverse engineering frameworks.
For macOS installation packages ( .pkg files), a Rust-based CLI tool called pkg_extractor extracts the contents as a root filesystem. This is useful for analyzing software installers or recovering specific files without going through Apple's installer. Scene-pkg Unpacker
