How do I detect if an app has been cracked without examining the SignerIdentity?

Question

There used to be a method to check if an application was purchased from the App Store, to protect against cracking:

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle]; 
NS

The official Apple's answer:

Hello Dmitry,

Thank you for contacting Apple Developer Technical Support (DTS). 

DTS does not provide code-level support for DRM issues.  

Please try posting your inquiry to Apple Development Forum:



While you were initially charged a Technical Support Incident (TSI) for this request, we have assigned a replacement TSI back to your account.

Thank you for understanding our support policies.

Best Regards,
