Mobile App Threat Intelligence in Native iOS Apps

This Knowledge Base article describes how to build mobile app threat intelligence in native iOS apps. By using Threat-Events, add active defense for iOS apps. No Code, Zero Dev, No SDK. Appdome Threat Intelligence, Threat-Events™, is part of the Appdome Mobile Security Suite. We hope you find it useful and enjoy using Appdome!
Prerequisites for Building Mobile App Threat Intelligence in Native iOS Apps

Here’s what you need to build secured native iOS apps with threat intelligence
Appdome account (If you don’t have an Appdome account, create a free Appdome account here)
Mobile App (.ipa for iOS)
Signing Credentials (e.g., signing certificates and provisioning profile)
Xcode software
Easy Steps to Build Mobile Threat Intelligence in Native iOS Apps

Before enabling Threat-Events™, follow these steps below for iOS apps to handle the incoming security events in your application:
Download the code – Native Code IOS
Add the following lines to your iOS app which follow and receive Appdome Security Events:
