Doctored binaries (that leak private keys) can be sent to only select devices of a people under surveillance. So reverse-engineering generally available app will show nothing.
Apple REALLY must be coerced into allowing app sideloading (and accept push notifications not only through APNS)
- est31 7y agoThe OS comes from apple, too. How does sideloading help when the OS is backdoored? How does installing your own OS help when there is a backdoor in the hardware?
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoSideloading helps to install the apps you want (or need), not the apps Apple allows you to use. Thing is, you buy a very expensive piece of hardware, and you don't even truly own it. Of course, Apple frames it as 'care to protect you from malware', but in reality, it's just a digital handcuff.

- andromeduck 7y agoI wish they could take some middle ground here for example requiring that users read out loud a 1000 word statement describing the risks involved and limiting access to capabilities like background refresh, notifications, etc. if the user hasn't interacted with that app in a week. Or they could just beef up progressive web apps...
