Something like this should be available from Apple. But I guess they only offer privacy and security if it doesn’t require transparency. Well as long as it makes for good marketing.

And here I thought iOS with its walled garden approach would make these kinds of attacks impossible.

I ran this tool and found a trace that I was infected (malware detected in CrashReporter.plist). Any clue what I should be doing, if anything, to address this?

I'm no expert, but if you ask me, I would completely erase the phone, upgrade it via DFU, and start fresh. After setting it up again, run another backup and rerun the tool to doublecheck. That or ditch the phone

This is an expert response.

Walls have never been fool proof, though that doesn't mean building them is a waste of time.
