The iOS thing has nothing to do with iOS being more secure than android against a snooping app - the reason the resarchers didn’t port the app and run it on iOS was all about the law. So the analogy isn’t that there is a security guard / vault door present. It’s that there is a piece of paper describing how they will sue you under DMCA and various other laws for entering the vault and having a look. - A defense that keeps legitimate researchers out but doesn’t really stop a criminal from producing an app or infecting a third party one before it’s signed / delivered to the app store. And of course if you root your iphone so you can pirate apps then of course that app could be malicious without needing a signing signature.
