Fresh Project Using Insecure APIs (_sscanf, _strlen, _fopen, malloc) in Binary
Hello Apple Developer Community, I recently created a fresh project with: No dependencies No additional written code After generating the iOS build, I navigated to the build folder: cd build/ios/iphoneos/Runner.app Then, I ran the following commands to inspect the binary: otool -Iv Runner | grep -w _strlen otool -Iv Runner | grep -w _malloc Surprisingly, I received positive results, meaning these functions are present in the binary. My Questions: Why is a fresh Flutter project (with no extra dependencies) including these APIs in the binary?
