An iOS app developers use a technique that allows them to remotely modify the code in their apps without going through Apple’s review process. The technique is a variation of hot patching, which is a way of dynamically updating a system or application without restarting it. JSPatch allows developers to bypass Apple’s security-related restrictions that Apple imposes on third-party apps and which are solely enforced through the app store review process, FireEye researchers say. An app could change system settings, enumerate account types on the device, collect metadata of pictures in the photo album or access information stored in the pasteboard.”]
