iOS Application Penetration Testing
We test iOS applications for vulnerabilities in Keychain storage, URL schemes, jailbreak detection, binary protections, and Apple platform-specific security controls.
What is iOS Application Penetration Testing?
iOS application penetration testing is a security assessment of your IPA that covers Keychain storage, data protection classes, jailbreak detection bypass, URL scheme hijacking, and binary analysis using tools like Frida, Objection, and class-dump.
Testing Checklist
Every engagement covers these critical security areas.
Testing Methodology
A structured, repeatable process that ensures thorough coverage and actionable results.
Static Analysis
Analyse IPA binary using class-dump and Hopper. Review for hardcoded secrets, insecure configurations, ATS exceptions, and vulnerable frameworks.
Dynamic Analysis
Runtime testing with Frida, Objection, and Cycript for data leakage, insecure URL scheme handling, and platform-specific weaknesses.
Network Communication Testing
Intercept API traffic. Test App Transport Security (ATS) configuration, certificate pinning (SSL Kill Switch), and cleartext transmission.
Data Storage Assessment
Examine Keychain items, NSUserDefaults, plist files, Core Data stores, and cache directories for sensitive data exposure and data protection class usage.
Reverse Engineering & Tampering
Test jailbreak detection mechanisms, code signing validation, binary encryption (FairPlay), and anti-debugging protections.
Reporting & Remediation
Deliver iOS-specific findings with OWASP MASTG references and remediation guidance tailored to Apple security APIs and data protection classes.
Framework Alignment
Our methodology is aligned with industry-recognized security frameworks for thorough coverage and compliance readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is iOS application penetration testing?
iOS application penetration testing is a security assessment of your IPA that covers Keychain storage, data protection classes, jailbreak detection bypass, URL scheme hijacking, and binary analysis using tools like Frida, Objection, and class-dump.
Do you test on jailbroken devices?
Yes. We test on both jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices to assess runtime manipulation risks and verify that jailbreak detection mechanisms are effective.
