Hi Daniel,
Your starting point should be the architecture and design of the current mobile
agent. Read some of the posts on the Umit blog to bring yourself up to speed.
For most of the artefacts, you should look up equivalent ones in iOS. For
example, the Android mobile agent uses a TimerThread to fire-off
website/service scanning, you should look for something similar or better in
iOS. This would definitely make your proposal stronger. In addition, security
should be on your mind from day one.
Feel free to shoot any questions our way if you need help.
Good luck!
Best,
Zubair
