I was thinking about a GSoC 2012 project I could propose, and I came to the question of why there's no Tor iOS (iPhone / iPad / iPod touch) application distributed on the official iTunes App Store?
People have tried in the past and been rejected for being a 'proxy/circumvention tool'.
But considering that CovertBrowser got into the apple store, it means that as long as "Tor" will be provided as "anonymity feature" of a Mobile application, where the Mobile Application is compliant with Apple Terms of Service, it should pass.
So while thinking about Tor and iOS we should probably think that Tor must represent, like for Covert Browser, a "pluggable/linkable" system to provided anonymity feature to an application.
Are there any chance to convince the Covert Browser developer to release it's code?
We may arrange a kickstarter project to "open" the result of his research, so he would earn some thousand USD in exchange for the opensourcing of the project.
What do you think?
