Accessing your Google Account from iPhone Apps, it is safe enough?

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Today my co-worker SirKiwi showed me a new free iPhone application for accessing Google Analytics, but now I'm very skeptical about that because I'm not sure if these applications are transfering my username and password to Google in a secure way.

Can I be sure that my account info is only transferred to Google, and not to another server?

Of course you can setup a sniffer via your WiFi connection (or something like that) and see where the application is connecting to, I have searched on the web and have not found anything.

Is Apple monitoring the login information before approving an application? we want our passwords safe!
