Description
To find out how many of my iPhone apps were dumping the address book, I put together a utility called AdiOS (Addressbook Detector for iOS) that lets Mac users scan the iOS apps in your iTunes directory to see if they have the potential to dump your phone book externally. AdiOS detects apps that access your entire address book, by using a binary grep to look for use of the ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople API call. AdiOS quickly and easily finds all the apps that have the potential to violate your privacy. It could also be used to see if your apps are complying with the new policies Apple is rolling out around protection of Address book information.
