Are there any security guidelines for development and assessment of (native) iPhone applications?

    Please explain your question in more detail. This really isn't the question for development questions. – Ramhound Dec 15 '11 at 13:39
  • I don't understand the hostility to this question. I think this is a great question. And I think questions about how to develop iPhone apps securely are perfectly on-topic for this site. – D.W. Dec 18 '11 at 23:41

Here are five suggested guidelines for iPhone application development and security considerations. In general you'll find them to be the same as security for any application development. http://intrepidusgroup.com/insight/2010/05/top-5-iphone-application-development-security-issues/

See also Android API/development security pitfalls. Many of the issues mentioned there are applicable to iPhone applications, too: e.g., insufficient protection of data in transit or in storage, insufficiently cautious handling of data from untrusted sources, risks from imperfect isolation of apps.
