Reviews
"The book is strongly recommended for all iOS app developers, especially for those who use the Objective-C programming language."
-Computing Reviews

"In summary, this is a book that every iOS developer needs to read and then act on. The next time you see an app that leaks private data everywhere, is vulnerable to a whole host of injection attacks, and uses crypto like it's 1995, ask them why they didn't consult this book before shipping."
