Which permission is bland on iOS?

“Running machine code” is not a security vulnerability. If your browser isn’t secure all sorts of exploits can happen from a web browser. That’s how a lot of the early iOS jailbreaks worked.

I think we’re probably not getting anywhere here.

No problem, but we can each do our own thing.

If you are in the US, have a great Thanksgiving holiday. I sincerely hope it’s a warm, loving event.

It was a very simple request - show an example?

Everyone commenting here is being hand wavy

I stated an example. It was not enough.

I used to write machine code, but I don’t, anymore. I am quite aware of how powerful it is, so I have to assume that the very smart people at Apple -who deal with current-day machine code- have a handle on dealing with it.

I guarantee that hackers do.

You didn’t state one example where it bypassed the sandbox. All apps on iOS are compiled to assembly. If writing in assembly magically bypasses a well designed OS’s security model, we are in trouble
Some things are worth arguing about.

This isn't one of them.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
