Swift (iOS/macOS) Application Security

Modern mobile and desktop applications on Apple platforms face a growing number of cyber threats: from traffic interception to theft of user data. The book "Swift (iOS/macOS) Application Security" is a comprehensive guide that will help developers of any level turn fragile code into a secure system.

The author systematically covers all key aspects of Apple ecosystem security, starting from the basics of cryptography and ending with advanced methods of protection against reverse engineering. You will learn how attackers target applications and how to effectively counter these attacks.

What you will learn from the book:

• iOS/macOS Security Basics: sandbox, Keychain, App Sandbox, permissions, and App Transport Security.
• Data Protection: encryption using CryptoKit, secure storage of passwords and tokens, working with Secure Enclave.
• Network Security: SSL pinning, protection against Man-in-the-Middle, secure work with URLSession and WebSocket.
• Code Security: jailbreak protection, Swift code obfuscation, application integrity checks.
• Authentication and Authorization: Face ID, Touch ID, Sign in with Apple, OAuth 2.0, and JWT.
• OWASP Mobile Top 10: detailed breakdown of each vulnerability with Swift examples and remediation methods.
• CI/CD Security: integrating security checks into the pipeline, dependency analysis, static code analysis.

Who this book is for:

• iOS/macOS developers who want to write secure code from day one.
• Team Leads and architects responsible for product security.
• Information security professionals transitioning to the Apple platform.
• Students and beginner programmers learning Swift and SwiftUI.

Each chapter contains practical examples, ready-to-use code snippets, and checklists for security auditing. The book is written in simple language, without excessive academicism, but with deep immersion into technical details.

After reading, you will be able to independently conduct vulnerability analysis, implement protection at all stages of development, and confidently pass the App Store security review. Turn your application into an impregnable fortress with this book!
