Theoretically speaking, if you were building an PhoneGap/Cordova app binary using a compromised seed of Xcode it would be no different than building a non-PhoneGap/Cordova based iOS app.
So I'm not sure why you are referencing Facebook switching from a WebView-based app to a more native approach.
In addition, if the Xcode installation was compromised nothing should be considered safe on that device going forward.
- Asparagirl 12y agoI was joking about the longstanding native app versus non-native app debate, but thank you for the info. But perhaps if the crucial part of XCode that "phoned home" was not the WebView component but some other component, might that make a difference? Of course this is all very hypothetical unless someone finds an example in the wild.
