Would a runtime binary checksum have helped to complicate such modification? This isn’t sop for mobile apps? Do iOS or Android SDK’s provide such facilities? Presumably associated with the official release process and enforced on their respective non-jailbroken platforms?

Basic questions, admittedly. Just noticed that the final solution was to simply modify a few bytes of the binary, which seemed preventable.

macOS (desktop), not iOS (mobile).

Thanks for the correction. Same inquiry for macOS for signed apps.

You have to resign the binary when you modify anyway which achieves the same thing.

On non-jailbroken platforms you generally do this with a developer certificate.
