# iOS Security And RBAC

## Use When
- Securing an iOS app, reviewing mobile threat models, designing permission gates, protecting secrets, or implementing tenant-aware RBAC.
- - The task mentions Keychain, Secure Enclave, Data Protection, ATS, certificate pinning, jailbreak/tamper checks, privacy manifests, roles, permissions, or offline authorization caches.
+ - The task mentions Keychain, Secure Enclave, App Attest, Trust Insights, Data Protection, ATS, certificate pinning, jailbreak/tamper checks, privacy manifests, roles, permissions, App Intents, AI tool use, prompt injection, or offline authorization caches.
- A retired iOS security or RBAC skill is referenced by name.
## Do Not Use When
- The task is general iOS implementation with no security, privacy, or authorization impact.
- The task is cross-platform Android-first RBAC; use `mobile-platform-operations` for the absorbed Android/mobile RBAC reference.
## Required Inputs
- Auth model, tenant model, roles/permissions, data sensitivity, offline requirements, API authorization contract, storage choices, and compliance/privacy constraints.
## Workflow
1. Load `ios-development` for baseline implementation standards.
2. Load `vibe-security-skill` for broader product threat modeling when the risk crosses backend, API, or web surfaces.
- 3. Load `references/ios-app-security.md` for device/app hardening and `references/ios-rbac.md` for permission gates.
- 4. Verify server-side authorization, local cache expiry, secret storage, privacy disclosure, and test evidence.
+ 3. Load `references/agentic-ai-and-app-intents-security.md` when AI, Siri, App Intents, Spotlight, or model tool use touches private data or actions.
+ 4. Load `references/ios-app-security.md` for device/app hardening and `references/ios-rbac.md` for permission gates.
+ 5. Verify server-side authorization, local cache expiry, secret storage, privacy disclosure, and test evidence.
## Quality Standards
- Client RBAC must never replace server-side authorization.
- Secrets belong in Keychain or stronger platform storage, not UserDefaults or logs.
- Offline permission caches need expiry, invalidation, auditability, and conservative fallback behaviour.
+ - AI tools, App Intents, and Siri-mediated actions must re-check authorization and confirm high-risk actions.
## Anti-Patterns
- Trusting client-side role flags as the source of truth.
- Logging tokens, PII, Keychain errors, or authorization payloads.
- Adding jailbreak checks without a clear policy for detection, false positives, and support.
## Outputs
- iOS threat model, security checklist, RBAC matrix, permission-gate implementation notes, review findings, or verification evidence.
## References
- `references/ios-app-security.md` for Keychain, Secure Enclave, ATS, pinning, signing, privacy manifests, and tamper resistance.
- `references/ios-rbac.md` for permission models, SwiftUI gates, offline caches, and tenant-safe authorization UX.
+ - `references/agentic-ai-and-app-intents-security.md` for prompt/tool injection, App Intents authorization, semantic index privacy, App Attest, Trust Insights watch items, and AI action audit.
