Doesn't iOS ask you for permissions when granting data to an app? This seems completely bizarre to me.
The App Store verification process does not seem like a reasonable single line of defense. If applications can just get data from the rest of your phone without prompting the user then something is seriously broken here.
- saagarjha 7y agoNo, this is based on the Psychic Paper “exploit” that was described a few days ago that allowed developers to sign their apps with extra entitlements, including ones that would allow for accessing files outside of the normal application sandbox. (To be clear: there is no app, other than Messages, that should ever be able to access your messages. Such an app is not allowed on the App Store.)
- xvector 7y agoAh, thanks.
