Mobile Application Testing

Your web apps, APIs, networks, and cloud accounts are covered. But what about the apps sitting on your users' home screens? Mobile applications carry their own attack surface — hardcoded secrets, insecure storage, exposed deep links, weak cryptography — and until now, testing them meant stitching together open-source scanners or hiring specialists.

Today, RedVeil adds Mobile Application Testing for Android and iOS.

Upload an Android APK or iOS IPA file, press start, and get the same audit-ready report you already rely on for every other surface — actionable findings, clear reproduction steps, and prescriptive fixes.

How it works

1. Upload your app: Drag and drop an .apk (Android) or .ipa (iOS) file directly into a new mobile project. No SDKs, no device farms, no jailbreaks.
2. Automated reconnaissance: RedVeil decompiles the binary, extracts strings, URLs, and potential secrets, and runs a comprehensive static analysis pass — all inside an isolated, ephemeral environment.
3. AI-driven validation: Our agentic AI reviews every lead from the static analysis phase and independently verifies each issue against the decompiled source before reporting it. No copy-pasted scanner output — only confirmed, reproducible findings make it into your report.
4. Review and remediate: Findings land in your project with full evidence: affected files, code snippets, and replication commands a reviewer can copy and paste. Mark false positives, apply fixes, and one-click retest.

What we test

RedVeil's mobile testing agent focuses on the issues that matter most in real-world mobile assessments:

• Manifest and entitlement weaknesses — exported components, overly broad permissions, missing security flags in AndroidManifest.xml and iOS entitlement files.
• Hardcoded secrets and credentials — API keys, tokens, and passwords embedded in application code or resources.
• Insecure local storage and token handling — sensitive data written to shared preferences, plists, or unprotected databases.
• Weak cryptography — deprecated algorithms, risky trust manager implementations, and certificate validation bypasses.
• Insecure deep links and intent exposure — URL schemes and exported activities or services that can be triggered by malicious apps.
• Transport security — missing certificate pinning, cleartext traffic allowances, and insecure network configurations.

Same experience, new surface

Mobile testing plugs into everything you already use in RedVeil:

• Unified project dashboard: Mobile targets appear alongside web, network, and cloud hosts — one view for your entire security posture.
• Audit-ready reports: Mobile findings flow into the same executive and standard reports your compliance team expects.
• One-click retest: Ship a fix, upload the updated binary, and verify remediation instantly.
• Rune support: Our pentest consultant AI can walk you through any mobile finding, explain the impact, and help prioritize remediation.

Getting started

Create a new project, select Mobile Application, and upload your application. RedVeil handles the rest — decompilation, analysis, validation, and reporting — in minutes, not weeks.

Mobile application testing is available on the Full Coverage and Enterprise plans. If you're on one of these plans, you can create a mobile project today. If you're on another plan and want access, reach out to our team or upgrade from your account settings.
