permissions - Can an iPhone App Be Run as Root? -
i thinking design of iphone app i'd create. 1 possible problem application have run root (to access network ports). in typical unix app, i'd app run setuid, i'm wondering if possible iphone app.
i've read question in apple's forum, discouraging:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadid=1664575
i understand apple wants limit program can do, there plenty of good, legitimate reasons user run program elevated privileges. i'm not trying create hacker tool here.
i'm sure around on jail-broken iphone, that's not i'm after. there way run app elevated privileges on unbroken iphone?
(btw, there no need warn me nda.)
section 3.3.4 of iphone sdk agreement suggests mustn't work outside sandbox.
given apple has been arbitrary on applications permit, should double-check them before start developing.
compared 2.0.x, the sandbox restrictions have increased in 2.1; can no longer read application's sandbox. so, if is possible elevate app's privileges, won't in future release.
