Except the iPhone effectively has no DRM. Load the application into gdb, dump memory, and you've broken it. This is even worse than Android, even: the developers cannot add their own DRM on top, due to both technical and App Store restrictions.
- redrobot5050 16y agoThis is simply not true. Certain App Store developers have added web service calls to their applications so they "phone home" and pirated apps could be denied access. Similar to an API key.
- Xuzz 16y agoThere is only one foolproof check to see if your application is pirated, since only the binary itself has to change (and you can't checksum what's distributed to users). Therefore, there's just one simple thing to patch out -- 5 minutes for an experienced pirate.
