>I am wondering if IOS could add a new feature to detect bad apps.

I think Apple can add such as a step into their build process (IIRC, with the new XCode 7 there's the option to submit a kind of bytecode to be built on Apple's servers depending on the target architecture etc).

Another thing they could do is enable some kind of "Little Snitch"-like network connection that a user can enable for apps. This way the user can be informed for any "mysterious" external connections going on.
