This detection API let the MDM applications in effect ask the operating system if it had been compromised. Jailbreak exploits typically change a number of operating system files, and exploit one or another low-level OS features to let users directly load their own or third-party applications.
Previously, developers had created their own series of operating system checks to detect jailbreak.

This is GeoGroups, and it can use the iPhone’s GPS capabilities for locating commercial and user-entered stores and other businesses.
It utilizes many social networking principles as users can essentially build a group around anything, even if it is a bench at a park, for example. There are also features like map views, directions to locations, and an ability to “check in” when you arrive. You can also snap pictures of locations to Facebook or send location info to other GeoGroups users.
The App is available for free, and you can join 500 public groups for all kinds of places.
