Mobile App Penetration Testing for Your Business
Mobile app penetration testing checks whether someone with your app on their phone could pull out secrets or tamper with it. Omeiro decompiles and reverse engineers the binary, then tests it while running, covering keychain storage, certificate pinning and data stored on the device.
What mobile app penetration testing looks at
The main areas we check, by hand with tools as support. The exact scope depends on your package and is agreed in writing before work starts.
Data on the phone
- Stored tokens
- Cached personal data
- Logs
Traffic
- Certificate checks
- Data sent in clear
- API calls
Logins
- Session handling
- Biometric fallbacks
- Password reset
App code
- Hard-coded keys
- Debug settings
- Third-party SDKs
Checklist Based on common risks and good practice. The exact scope depends on your package and is agreed in writing before work starts.
What you get with mobile app penetration testing
Reverse engineering, static binary decompilation, and dynamic runtime manipulation testing keychain security, certificate pinning bypass, and local data storage vulnerabilities.
Basic Package
1 app on 1 platform (iOS or Android), static; dynamic checks. 5-day delivery, 2 revisions.
Standard Package
Same app on iOS; Android; API calls checked. 8-day delivery, 2 revisions.
Premium Package
Full test of both platforms; backend API; retest after fixes. 12-day delivery, 2 revisions.
Clear brief first
We confirm what you need before work starts, so the scope is clear on both sides.
Revisions listed
Each package shows its revision rounds. A round is one list of changes sent together.
Yours once paid
Copyright of the final work passes to you once the order is paid in full.
Work starts only after the scope is agreed in writing and you confirm you own or control the systems involved.
How our mobile app penetration testing works
Get the build
You supply the app build and a test account.
Static analysis
We decompile the binary and read code and settings.
Dynamic testing
The app is run and manipulated to test storage, pinning and traffic.
Report
Findings include steps to reproduce and a fix, plus a retest on Premium.
Mobile app penetration testing: what is examined and what to send
Mobile app penetration testing covers three areas: the app on the device, the traffic it sends and the backend it talks to. On the device we inspect local storage, keychain or keystore use, logging and whether secrets are embedded in the binary. Send us a test build, test accounts for each user role and a note on sensitive features such as payments or health data. Accounts for every role let us reach the deeper features quickly.
Typical findings are tokens stored in plain text, certificate validation that can be bypassed, weak jailbreak or root detection and API endpoints that trust the app instead of verifying the user. Good mobile app penetration testing explains each issue with the steps to reproduce it and a fix suited to each platform. Findings often lead on to web application or API testing of the same backend.
In short
- Delivery in 5 to 12 days, by package.
- Fixed price, shown before you order.
- Fintech, health and retail apps handling sensitive data.
- Startups before an app store launch that need ios and android security testing.
- Copyright yours after full payment.
Mobile App Penetration Testing: common questions
How much does mobile app penetration testing cost?
Prices are fixed and shown by package on our Mobile App Penetration Testing pricing page, so you see the full price before you order. You can also ask for a custom quote.
How long does iOS and Android security testing take?
Delivery depends on the package: Basic 5-day delivery; Standard 8-day delivery; Premium 12-day delivery.
What is included in the Basic Package?
The Basic Package includes: 1 app on 1 platform (iOS or Android), static; dynamic checks. Higher packages add more scope, revisions and support.
Can I get a custom mobile application security assessment package?
Yes. If none of the packages fits, use the custom package form on our pricing page to describe what you need, and our team sends you a fixed price.
Do you need my source code?
No, testing works from the built app, though source can help.
Is a rooted or jailbroken phone used?
Often yes for deeper checks, using our own test devices.
Does the test include my API?
Standard checks API calls and Premium covers the backend API.
Will you publish findings?
No, results go only to you.
What is the OWASP Mobile Top 10?
It is a list of the most common mobile app risks, including insecure data storage, weak authentication and poor communication security. Testers use it as a checklist so coverage follows a recognised standard.
Who owns the final work?
Copyright of the final work passes to you once the order is paid in full. Paid fonts, stock files or licences, if used, are licensed in your name.
