Apple’s latest iOS is live, and your mobile app testing or research shouldn’t wait for hardware or lab reconfiguration. With Corellium, teams spin up virtual iOS 26 iPhones and iPads, snapshot before each run, and roll back to a clean state, delivering reliable, repeatable results without the hardware scramble.
Why Virtualization Matters For iOS 26
Major releases can create delays and increase risk. Virtual iOS and iPadOS 26 devices enable faster access, deterministic environments, and quicker feedback to surface issues so you can fix them sooner.
What this unlocks
- Run more coverage in parallel
- Export logs, traces, and artifacts for audits and postmortems
Root-level Testing on iOS
Gain root-level visibility on iOS and iPadOS 26 to observe real runtime behavior and filesystem activity during QA, security validation, and research without modifying physical hardware.
What You Can Do with Corellium
- Exploits triage & PoC validation: Reproduce claims safely on virtual iOS 26, confirm code execution/sandbox escape, and snapshot-rollback to contain risk.
- Sensitive data exposure checks: Verify how sensitive data is handled at rest and in use, and catch leaks in Keychain, caches, logs, and crash artifacts.
- Network egress: Identify which servers the app contacts, verify connections are secure, and ensure routing follows security policies.
- Use existing or built-in tools: Integrate seamlessly with tools such as Frida, Burp Suite, IDA Pro, and more.
Built for Security and Research Teams (and Why This Matters)
Apple has made physical jailbreaks obsolete, removing a traditional path to inspect behavior beneath the UI. Proving data-handling policies and security controls on real iOS versions is consequently more difficult.
Corellium addresses this with virtual, instrumented root access on iOS 26, providing the visibility needed to validate controls aligned with OWASP guidance and internal policies without risky tools or modified hardware.
Prove what auditors and frameworks care about
- Data at rest and in use: Verify how secrets, tokens, and PII are stored, loaded, and cleared; confirm no sensitive data persists in caches or logs.
- Transport security: Demonstrate certificate pinning, ATS rules, and egress restrictions by observing actual network calls and TLS behavior.
- Tamper and hook resistance: Evaluate jailbreak/hook defenses and runtime integrity checks under controlled, observable conditions.
- Privacy prompts and permissions: Confirm permissions, entitlements, and prompts match policy and UX requirements.
- Evidence on demand: Export repeatable traces and artifacts for OWASP-aligned reviews, internal policy signoffs, and regulatory audits.
