Protect your iOS apps from evolving attacks with a complete, practical toolkit of defensive techniques, cryptographic foundations, and real-world app hardening techniques.
Key Features:
- Build a strong iOS security baseline with threat modeling, privacy, and safe data handling.
- Harden apps against iOS attack paths with validation, tamper resistance, runtime checks and more.
- Protect sensitive data using correct cryptography, secure storage, and hardware backed keys.
Book Description:
If you build iOS apps, you also manage risk, from insecure data storage to reverse engineering and runtime tampering. This book treats security as part of the development workflow, not an afterthought, and focuses on practical techniques you can apply without needing deep cryptography or penetration testing expertise.
You will start by defining what needs protection: sensitive data, how it is categorized, how long it should be retained, and how privacy expectations and legal requirements shape design decisions. From there, you will study common attack techniques such as network interception, injection, configuration mistakes, URL scheme abuse, code tampering, repackaging, and runtime manipulation.
The book then moves into defenses: platform and language safety, code signing and entitlements, secure error and execution handling, data validation, transport security with TLS pinning, and runtime protections against debuggers and emulation. On the data side, you will use Keychain, file protection classes, and Secure Enclave features to protect secrets and keys, and you will evaluate clipboard and backup related risks. Finally, you will build a repeatable security program across the app lifecycle, from static and dynamic analysis to incident response planning and bug bounty triage, so you can ship trustworthy iOS apps at scale.
What You Will Learn:
- Understand core iOS security, privacy, and threat modeling concepts
- Learn to classify sensitive data and set clear handling and retention rules
- Apply platform safe coding patterns to reduce common app flaws
- Protect sensitive data using Keychain, file protection, and hardware backed keys.
- Implement secure storage using Keychain, file protection, and Secure Enclave
- Use modern cryptography with correct key management and safe defaults
- Harden apps with anti-debugging, RASP, and runtime integrity checks
Who this book is for:
This book is for iOS developers, mobile engineers, and architects who build or maintain production apps. DevSecOps engineers and security consultants supporting mobile pipelines will also benefit. Readers should be comfortable with Swift, Xcode, and the iOS app lifecycle, and have hands-on development experience.
