iOS Application Penetration Testing

iOS app testing on real, jailbroken hardware.

End-to-end iOS application security testing on real devices — static analysis, dynamic instrumentation, transport security, and platform misuse.

Overview

What this covers.

iOS apps benefit from a strong platform — but assumptions about that platform create real risk. We test your IPA on jailbroken hardware with Frida, Objection, and custom tooling, aligned to OWASP MASVS and MSTG controls.

Coverage

What we test.

Comprehensive coverage across the categories that matter — combined manual and tool-assisted testing.

01

IPA Internals

Info.plist review, entitlements, embedded secrets, code signing, ATS.

02

Runtime Manipulation

Frida/Objection hooks, jailbreak detection bypass, SSL pinning bypass.

03

Data Protection

Keychain usage, NSUserDefaults exposure, file protection classes, backups.

04

Transport Security

ATS configuration, certificate pinning, MITM resistance.

05

URL Schemes & Universal Links

Deep-link hijacking, scheme abuse, app-to-app handoff.

06

Backend APIs

Full API pentest of every endpoint the app consumes.

Methodology

How we run it.

A repeatable, well-documented process so your team always knows what's coming next.

01
IPA Acquisition

Obtain test build with ad-hoc/enterprise signing; document iOS versions in scope.

02
Static Analysis

Inspect entitlements, plists, frameworks, and embedded data.

03
Dynamic Analysis

Hook runtime on jailbroken devices, intercept traffic, bypass protections.

04
Backend Testing

Pentest all supporting APIs.

05
Report & Retest

MASVS-aligned report and a free retest after remediation.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Do you need an enterprise build?+

We accept ad-hoc, enterprise, or TestFlight builds. App Store binaries are decryptable on jailbroken devices but produce a less efficient engagement.

Do you test SwiftUI and UIKit apps equally?+

Yes. Our methodology focuses on data flow and runtime behavior, not UI framework.
