And even when there's no documentation, or when it isn't enough, you can just always dive into AOSP sources and figure out whatever needs to be figured out. They've recently made this more convenient too: https://cs.android.com

No such luck for iOS. Best you can do is poke at binaries with a disassembler.

I have been frustrated many times after stepping into a system function on iOS, only to be greeted with a mountain of assembly instructions. It was one of the first grievances I had with iOS development, coming from Android.

On the other hand, it's been a great opportunity to learn how ARM works!
