The correct way to install Jython (for Burpsuite)

You need to install Jython the correct way in order to ensure some of the Burp plugins work correctly.

So in one of my iOS app pentest the app was distributed on TestFlight, I needed a clean IPA to makesure, I review the app after unpacking it. The option was for me to use a Jailbroken device and use Ext3nder, which allows the app to be re-packaged. Once you do that you could use SCP to download the IPA and use it to analyse or side load through xCode.
