This could be solved at the OS level. Just crashing and closing the app would lead the user to simply re-open it and try again. However, if iOS detects this type of crash it could sternly alert the user that the application they are using is likely compromised. It could also transmit analytics for these specific types of crashes to Apple, who would have very realtime insights into newly compromised apps. I don't think the idea here is "crash silently and let the user reopen the app as many times as they want" I think its "crash very very loudly"

This is a good point. Im not an expert but im guessing one is rarely enough, which would exponentially decrease your chances of success by brute force, e.g. 2 tags would be 1/256 etc
