The binaries inside the dyld_shared_cache can be used to create C header files from by using classdump.
With that header files using iOS Private API's is sometimes possible.
Location
In iOS 10, the dyld_shared_cache is located in /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.dyld/. The folder will contain caches for each CPU-Architecture. (eg: dyld_shared_cache_arm64.)
