Evaluate iXGuard against iOS build, signing and framework requirements. Feature names similar to those in an Android product do not establish identical protection for Swift code or extensions.
Evaluation approach
Integration connects to building, signing and distribution. Verify support for the actual mix of Swift, Objective-C and frameworks.
Application example
Test App Attest, Keychain, notifications and extension flows in the protected release on physical devices.
Limits and considerations
Products from the same vendor do not necessarily offer identical capabilities across Android and iOS.
Questions during an iOS release transition
Assess the application's actual languages and frameworks. When build tools change, test protection-stage support, final-package behavior and symbolication together. Include extensions explicitly.
Launching the main screen is insufficient. Select notification entry, return from the background and a sensitive Keychain-dependent operation. Demonstrate how platform security services and the protection product complement each other in a concrete workflow.
Checks and decisions
- Test the final signed package
- Protect symbol files
- Ask about extension coverage
Compare products using an iOS-specific test matrix and distribution requirements.
