This chain isn’t delivered via an app, it is sent through iMessage. The checks for “only apps approved by Apple” are not relevant if you exploit your way past them.

Thanks I did see the researchers posted how the malware gets into memory, but I still feel like since Apple tightly controls the enviornment it ahould be able to detect anything running there that should not be.
It is very difficult to do this in general, especially for these kinds of exploits.
Apple does not control what photo, video or PDF gets sent to you via iMessage.
