Apple removes the Stefan Esser app (i0n1c) from its App Store

Although it has not been lavish in jailbreak in a long time, Stefan Esser is known to anyone who has been fond of installing Cydia on their device, being one of the best known hackers during the golden age of the Jailbreak. Now a troll more than a hacker, Esser recently launched an application in the App Store that promised to detect any security flaw in your device, and as expected, Apple has taken little time to reject it and remove it from its application store.

The application, System an Security Info, which managed to reach the top positions of the most downloaded paid applications in several countries, was similar to what is the Windows Task Manager or the OS X Activity Monitor, showing you all the processes that are running on your iPhone or iPad, and analyzing if there was any vulnerability that was being exploited by someone, such as that your device had the Jailbreak done. In case of finding something strange, the application pointed it out as an anomaly so that you would be aware of it.

It was to be expected that i0n1c's reaction was not good to this Apple decision. First because he was making gold with the application, and secondly because his personal war with Apple has been going on for a long time.. First he took it with Jailbreak users, who he used to insult us on social networks, also clashes with other known hackers, and now with Apple itself. The reasons for the withdrawal of the application? According to Apple there are two: using the icon of another application and offering unreliable information. In fact, Esser himself acknowledged before his application was expelled from the App Store that one of the security flaws he detected was wrong and that he would fix it in a future update. Could it be that Apple does not want users to be informed of possible security flaws in their system? Or is it as Apple says that what Esser says it detects is false and gives us wrong information?
