How to Protect iOS Apps from Jailbreak Detection Bypass Tools

Last updated November 29, 2023 by Appdome

This Knowledge Base article describes how to use Appdome’s AI/ML in your CI/CD pipeline to continuously deliver plugins that Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools in iOS apps.

What is iOS Jailbreak Bypass?

Hackers use Jailbreak Bypass and Jailbreak Hiding tools to evade Jailbreak detection/protections. As Jailbreaking makes it easier to hack iOS apps and to compromise the mobile security model, when a mobile app is protected with Jailbreak detection or Jailbreak protection, hackers will try to either bypass the protection or hide the fact that the device is Jailbroken.

Evading detection allows hackers to operate in a Jailbreak state longer and to complete or continue the activity they used Jailbreak to achieve in the first place, such as:
• Playing the game for free longer
• Using more advanced or automated tools like emulators to modify in-app purchases
• Use FRIDA to inject malicious code
• Use IDA-Pro to create a call graph to trace the app’s source code
• Modify app workflows
• Send fake signals to unsuspecting users, to make the hackers’ attacks seem more legitimate/credible

Why Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools in iOS Apps?

Hackers combine Jailbreak tools with Jailbreak bypass tools to kill two birds with one stone. For example, hackers combine the use of Jailbreak tools like CheckRa1n, Unc0ver, Zylon, PlankFilza, and Chimera (which they use to Jailbreak iOS), alongside special-purpose Jailbreak Bypass or Jailbreak hiding tools like FlyJB, JailProtect, Liberty Lite, TweakRestrictor, and KernBypass. The first set of tools is used for achieving Jailbreak state, while the second set of tools is used for concealing that the device is Jailbroken or to bypass Jailbreak protection/detection mechanisms in the app. Appdome identifies all tools used for jailbreak or jailbreak bypass. When detecting that it is running on a Jailbroken device, the Appdome-secured app will shut itself down (default behavior) after displaying a message to the mobile user, thereby protecting that app, user, and mobile data from being compromised or attacked.

Prerequisites for Using Appdome's Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools Plugins:

To use Appdome’s mobile app security build system to Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools , you’ll need:

Appdome account (create a free Appdome account here)
A license for Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools
Mobile App (.ipa for iOS)
Signing Credentials (see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps)

How to Implement Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools in iOS Apps Using Appdome

On Appdome, follow these 3 simple steps to create self-defending iOS Apps that Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools without an SDK or gateway:

Designate the Mobile App to be protected.
1. Upload an app via the Appdome Mobile Defense platform GUI or via Appdome’s DEV-API or CI/CD Plugins.
2. iOS Formats: .ipa
3. Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools is compatible with: Obj-C, Java, Swift, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Xamarin, Cordova and other iOS apps.
Select the defense: Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools.

Create and name the Fusion Set (security template) that will contain the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools feature as shown below:

Figure 1: Fusion Set that will contain the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools feature

Follow the steps in Sections 2.2-2.2.2 of this article to add the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools feature to your Fusion Set via the Appdome Console.

When you select the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools you'll notice that the Fusion Set you created in step 2.1 now bears the icon of the protection category that contains Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools.

Figure 2: Fusion Set that displays the newly added Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools protection
Note: Annotating the Fusion Set to identify the protection(s) selected is optional only (not mandatory).

Open the Fusion Set Detail Summary by clicking the “...” symbol on the far-right corner of the Fusion Set. Copy the Fusion Set ID from the Fusion Set Detail Summary (as shown below):

Figure 3: Fusion Set Detail Summary

Follow the instructions below to use the Fusion Set ID inside any standard mobile DevOps or CI/CD toolkit like Bitrise, Jenkins, Travis, Team City, Circle CI or other system:

Refer to the Appdome API Reference Guide for API building instructions.

Look for sample APIs in Appdome’s GitHub Repository.

Add the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools feature to your security template.

Navigate to Build > Anti Fraud tab > Mobile Malware Prevention section in the Appdome Console.
Like all other options in ONEShield™, Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools is turned on by default, as shown below:
Figure 4: Selecting Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools
Note: The App Compromise Notification contains an easy to follow default remediation path for the mobile app end user. You can customize this message as required to achieve brand specific support, workflow or other messaging.

Toggle On > Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools.

(a) Choose to monitor this attack vector by checking the Threat Events checkbox associated with Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools as shown below.

(b) To receive mobile Threat Monitoring, check the ThreatScope™ box as shown below. For more details, see our knowledge base article on ThreatScope™ Mobile XDR.

Figure 4: Selecting Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools
Note: The Appdome Platform displays the Mobile Operation Systems supported by each defense in real-time. For more details, see our OS Support Policy KB.

Select the Threat-Event™ in-app mobile Threat Defense and Intelligence policy for Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools:

Threat-Events™ OFF > In-App Defense
If the Threat-Events™ setting is not selected. Appdome will detect and defend the user and app by enforcing Jailbreak Bypass Tools.

Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Detection
When this setting is used, Appdome detects tools which try to hide that your device is jailbroken and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence to the app’s business logic for processing, enforcement, and user notification. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ to Block Jailbreak Bypass ToolsBlock Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.

Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Defense
When this setting is used, Appdome detects and defends against Jailbreak Bypass Tools (same as Appdome Enforce) and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence to the app’s business logic for processing. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Block Jailbreak Bypass ToolsBlock Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.

Configure the User Experience Options for Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools:
With Threat-Events™ OFF, Appdome provides several user experience options for mobile brands and developers.

App Compromise Notification: Customize the pop-up or toast Appdome uses to notify the user when a threat is present while using the protected mobile app.

Short message Option. This is available for mobile devices that allow a banner notification for security events.

Localized Message Option. Allows Appdome users to support global languages in security notifications.

Figure 5: Default User Experience Options for Appdome’s Jailbreak Bypass Tools

Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools Threat Code™. Appdome uses AI/ML to generate a unique code each time Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools is triggered by an active threat on the mobile device. Use the code in Appdome Threat Resolution Center™ to help end users identify, find and resolve active threats on the personal mobile devices.

Initiate the build command either by clicking Build My App at the bottom of the Build Workflow (shown in Figure 4) or via your CI/CD as described in Section 2.1.4.

Congratulations! The Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools protection is now added to the mobile app

Certify the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools feature in iOS Apps

After building Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools, Appdome generates a Certified Secure™ certificate to guarantee that the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools protection has been added and is protecting the app. To verify that the Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools protection has been added to the mobile app, locate the protection in the Certified Secure™ certificate as shown below:

Figure 6: Certified Secure™ certificate

Each Certified Secure™ certificate provides DevOps and DevSecOps organizations the entire workflow summary, audit trail of each build, and proof of protection that Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools has been added to each iOS app. Certified Secure provides instant and in-line DevSecOps compliance certification that Block Jailbreak Bypass Tools and other mobile app security features are in each build of the mobile app.

Using Threat-Events™ for Jailbreak Bypass Tools Intelligence and Control in iOS Apps

Appdome Threat-Events™ provides consumable in-app mobile app attack intelligence and defense control when Jailbreak Bypass Tools are detected. To consume and use Threat-Events™ for Jailbreak Bypass Tools in iOS Apps, use AddObserverForName in Notification Center, and the code samples for Threat-Events™ for Jailbreak Bypass Tools shown below.
