"App Threat Report: The State of iOS App Security"

Are iOS apps more secure than Android? We put them to the test. Our security research team tested the 100 most downloaded iOS apps in the world against a repackaging attack. The results were startling: 93% of the apps were vulnerable! Download a copy of the latest App Threat Report for the full results.

There’s been a long-held belief that iOS mobile apps are innately more secure than Android, but with the recent discovery by LastPass of a fake version of their app in the app store, a new video piracy app that was found to have passed review, and Apple now being required to allow a level of sideloading by the Digital Markets Act, does that sentiment really hold true? 

We thought this was a great time to test the world’s top 100 most downloaded iOS apps against a standard repackaging attack – where an attacker obtains a copy of an app, modifies it, and then repackages it into a new version of the app with modified behavior that successfully runs on a device.   

Grab a copy of the report to learn about: 

  • Why iOS apps are perceived as more secure, and what is the reality? 
  • Bypassing iOS app encryption 
  • Risks posed by app repackaging 
  • Repackaging prevention and OWASP MASVS compliance 
  • The results from our real-world testing of how 100 of the world’s most downloaded iOS apps performed against a standard repackaging attack.
