recently i've googled about iphone os security architecture over the net but i have yet to find any comprehensive documentation or whitepaper on iphone os security architecture.
Is there anyone who know some sources and is able point me to some of the references?

I am very interested in using BlueMix for mobile development. Really interested.
I've created a couple of stub app's using iOS9+ and Swift. And I can see that there is real potential.
My question is. When I look at the educational materials and toolkits available I get the impression that IBM are no longer investing in this area. How can I be sure that BlueMix and Mobile will receive investment? How can I be sure that BlueMix will support future versions of iOS?
I know some might think this is too general a question. The problem I have is that IBM is such a huge company I have no idea who I can approach for an answer directly.
As you mention this is certainly not a technical question. That said, if you would like reassurance that the mobile SDKs (including Swift) are a major focus feel free to monitor the Bluemix Mobile Services public-facing Github where you will see daily activity as work is done to bring all the BMS SDKs up to the latest and greatest releases for the iOS, Android, and Hybrid platforms.
I heard about cocoa studio from a friend of mine so i was curious to find out its details.....According to him issues of memory handling are decreased by its use..Now first of all i don't know what is it. Is it a 3rd Party SDK of framework? I tried to google around for information but currently their site is under maintenance and i was not able to gather any substantial information from other resources.
So can anybody enlighten me about its details.Any links suggestions,information would be appreciated...
Thanks

Cocoa Studio is not a tool, Its name of the training course by "The Pragmatic Studio",The course is aimed at developers planning on building GUI applications on the Mac or the iPhone.
For More Information, have a look at: -

Probably you are talking about cocos2d. It is a graphics library for iPhone and some other platforms.

I just read this annoucement about Apple lifting restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines with direct implications for Adobe’s Packager for iPhone.
http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2010/09/great-news-for-developers.html
I just want to know what kind of applications can be built using this packager?
Can I build applications using Flex/Actionscript and convert to iphone apps using this packager?
What effect do you think it might have on programming apps using Objective-C?
Some of your points seem to ask for opinions but most of your questions would best be served with their FAQ. http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Packager_for_iPhone:Developer_FAQ
IMHO for this one
What effect do you think it might have on programming apps using Objective-C?
Fewer people will attempt to learn Objective-C and may also not start using Xcode.

It would seem that adobe moved the link, so here are some others to get you going:

How to use Adobe's iPhone Packager without an Apple Developer Subscription

I want to study in detail about security architecture that iphone has implemented. after searching on internet, the only useful material that i found is iphone reference library. Where i am now a days studying the Architecture of OS and then i will seduty the "secure coding guide".
I was wondering, if some of you guys, can lead me to some nice article or something which covers iphone security in general or in detail besides iphone official sites.
thanks,
I am comming from an enterprise java development organization where we did development in nicely seperated re-usable layers. Persistency layers, Service layers, etc etc.
Now, I am looking for iPhone example apps or documentation on how to architecture complex iPhone projects. Most books & apple examples show you very limited code & architecture. They are not usable imo.
What I am also looking for is info on how to setup a continuous-integration build system which runs all my unit tests on code checkin & reports the unit test findings to a system where we can see the results.
For our java projects, we use svn, mvn & sonar for this. What's apple's equivalent for this setup? Is it even possible?
So, to summarize my questions:
Q1: Are there any examples or books on complex iPhone project architecture?
Q2: How do we setup a continuous-integration build system?
How complex of an example would you like? This question links to a number of non-Apple open source iPhone applications, including my own. Some of the applications out there are relatively complex.
As far as design goes, I'd highly recommend the book Cocoa Design Patterns. While not strictly for the iPhone (given Cocoa's beginnings at NeXT and more recent presence on the Mac), the design patterns covered are core to the architecture of the Cocoa frameworks and Cocoa applications.
I'd also recommend paying for the WWDC 2009 videos and watching the sessions "iPhone User Interface Design", "Effective iPhone App Architecture", and "Prototyping iPhone User Interfaces". There are a lot of good suggestions for architecting iPhone applications in these sessions.
I've used unit tests with my applications, but I have not done any form of continuous-integration building. However, this question looks to have a lot of good information on doing continuous integration with Xcode.
The heritage of the iPhone dates back to OpenStep by NeXT Computer. For some time, NeXT's primary focus was custom, enterprise applications. The technologies that are in-play on the iPhone are well proven in enterprise environments. NeXT was one of the orginal advocates of object technology, patterns, and MVC in particular.
That said, some of what used to be available in Openstep is now gone. NeXT had a radically advanced ORM system (Enterprise Objects Framework - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Objects_Framework) that, although is still in use internally at Apple and powers iTunes/etc, is now deprecated for customers using Objective-C (a Java version still exists). A lite ORM, Core Data (http://developer.apple.com/macosx/coredata.html), has taken its place and is now available on the iPhone. SQLite (which is awesome) is also bundled on the iPhone and available for developers.
Another fly in the ointment is that the current version of XCode for the iPhone has a limited grasp of subprojects/frameworks, so it is more difficult to partition reusable code than it used to be. Tim Wood, of Omni, provides some details on how to manage frameworks within XCode on the iPhone (http://blog.omnigroup.com/2008/10/01/using-frameworks-in-iphone-applications/) Unfortunately, the process is not as easy as it ought to be.
I am not sure what books are available, but almost any former Openstep developer is going to have enterprise development expertise. You might consider pulling one into your project to help things along.
svn and mvn are available/bundled on OS X. There are also options for pulling in other, open source packages through systems like fink or MacPorts:

http://www.macports.org/
http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew
There are also several framework options that support TDD.

It does not look like sonar groks Objective-C at this time. Depending on your options, maybe you could develop a module for this?
