Common Security Flaws in Mobile Apps

Hardcoded API keys and secrets stored inside client binaries.

Insecure HTTP network calls exposing data to public Wi-Fi sniffing.

Sensitive auth tokens stored in unencrypted UserDefaults.

Lack of screen recording protection on banking or sensitive views.

The 10-Point Security Checklist

1. Secure Keychain storage for all tokens & credentials.

2. SSL/TLS Certificate Pinning on URLSession calls.

3. Zero hardcoded secret keys (use backend proxy authentication).

4. Anti-jailbreak & debugger detection runtime checks.

5. Obfuscation & symbol stripping enabled in release builds.

6. Secure Enclave biometric authentication for sensitive actions.

7. Hiding app preview snapshot when app switches to background.

8. Disabling HTTP requests via strict App Transport Security (ATS).

9. SQLCipher encryption for local SQLite databases.

10. Automated dependency vulnerability scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you hide sensitive screen snapshots in background switcher?
By adding a blur view overlay inside `applicationWillResignActive` in the App delegate.
Q: Why is App Transport Security (ATS) mandatory?
ATS forces all network connections to use HTTPS with TLS 1.2/1.3, blocking insecure HTTP calls.
