Apple doesn't block everything but what they have tested. What does that mean?

Basically it means that you have get your applications from the App

To be sold in the store, sure. But your apps don't have to be sold in the

Unless I am mistaken, that is the point of this thread. The fact that
if you want non-apple approved applications, you need to jailbreak
the phone and hence should Envais0n be considered malware since it
exploits IOS flaws to allow jailbreaking.
No, it is not a malware. It is a jailbreak. It does not to any bad (at least
from user's point of view, even if Apple is happy it has partial control
over devices it sold to customers), it just makes possible installation of
any software not approved by apple that does not necessarily have to be a
malware.
Thus, I don't really see why this should be considered a malware.
I personally do not own an iPhone but.... was an IT person in a
company that supplied iPhones to select employees and therefore was
involved in ordering and setting them up. This bit is just to explain
my familiarity (or lack there of depending on your viewpoint) with
iPhones
Well, if you wast prevent your users from using unathorized software, you
of course can put that into their contracts and optionally make your own
Envais0n signature on company's servers.
But you should not do this in public clamav database, since there are users
who legally want to jailbreak their phones and install software as they
want, not as apple wants. And since their BOUGHT their iphones, they have
right to do so.
