Nobody is going to add a fake reboot menu

Or they wouldn’t have, until they saw this thread, just for the sport

You can just /usr/bin/fm these days

zero terminated strings may cause a lot of bugs, but it also ends up in a lot of useful software, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

I honestly would be surprised if someone used AI in any other way to achieve this

Same here.

Are you claiming the Safari team is fingerprinting their users?

Info.plist

There is very little IPC that is allowed for apps that do not share a development team on iOS.

> There is very little IPC

I am not familiar with iOS internals, but does "very little IPC" mean "zero IPC"? Because if we are talking IPC in the context of bypassing permission checks, I imagine, 'very little' doesn't cut it?


I said "very little" because someone is probably going to be like "oh well you can have app A start allocating a bunch of memory and then app B gets a memory warning and this passes 1 bit of information"

Exactly: Some will use "IPC" as a stand in for side channels / memory safety, if it suits their agenda. I don't think it is a valid argument to make that the permission model is broken because "IPC".

What stops the app from opening a link in Safari to trackmyshit.com/uuid-uuid-uuid-uuid that closes itself.

You'd need Safari to keep cookies and other persistent storage for the site.

Apps can choose to do what they want.

Yet.
