GP's questions are (respectfully) being skirted around. The same reasoning applies to compiled, client-side code. Recent events show that open source code is as vulnerable as closed source. App stores may mitigate things somewhat, but not completely. It's probably easier to verify client-side encryption in a browser than it is to audit a thick client app, no?
