Then Apple will have to harden iOS's security model further. Do you doubt that they can? They've been able to, so far. For one thing, they'll likely be able to force notarization by default for all apps, regardless of origin.
- judge2020 4y agoMost of Apple's security model is inherit to the human auditing and binary analysis that happens during app store submission; the inherit nature of computer software is to have unintended behavior due to unforeseen input and state. As Craig said, "Today, we have a level of malware on the Mac that we don’t find acceptable and that is much worse than iOS" https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/19/apples-head-of-software-says-current-level-of-mac-malware-is-not-acceptable.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/19/apples-head-of-software-says...
- Apocryphon 4y agoAh, well I stand corrected on that point. My other points also stand. I've also speculated elsewhere that perhaps Apple could open source binary analysis tools, or at least present some sort of public-facing service to scan binaries. They could manage the semi-opening of their platform themselves, if they wanted to. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32170848 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32170848
