fkistner··on How Apple Is Giving Design a Bad Name
Indeed, and that's why Apple discourages the use of a contextual menu as the sole means to offer functionality as well [1]:

  Always ensure that contextual menu items are also available as menu commands.
  A contextual menu is hidden by default and a user might not know it exists, so it should never be the only way to access a command.
  In particular, you want to avoid using a contextual menu as the only way to access an advanced or power-user feature.

Allright, makes sense.

But does it not mean that you could basically spoof any secure connection (provided you could establish a man-in-the-middle)?

Just wondering, since the VPN destination is not easily verifiable: What stops you from shipping a profile tomorrow that directs traffic towards your server for online banking sites and breaking the TLS encryption using that root certificate?

Why is your App trying to install a root certificate alongside the VPN settings? Is that certificate unique per device?
