Explains a 10-step methodology including configuring a jailbroken test environment, extracting and decompiling IPA binaries, static and dynamic analysis, SSL pinning bypass, runtime method swizzling, network traffic interception, keychain assessment, biometric bypass testing, and plist tampering. Key tools covered include Frida, MobSF, Burp Suite, Checkra1n, IDA Pro, and Objection. Also addresses iOS built-in security architecture (Secure Enclave, sandboxing, code signing), common security myths, and cost/time estimates for engagements (£2,000–£50,000, 10–20 days). Concludes with a promotion for Cyphere's iOS pentesting services. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
