I'm looking at an application that is submitted for acceptance into the iOS App Store. The application contains components that pull data from private servers.
It would be useful to know which ip addresses Apple will likely use when testing the application - ie., which ip address range is likely to be the one running the test applications.
Does Apple use a predictable set/range of addresses when testing iphone applications, and, if they do, what is the range?

Start by launching Settings on your iPhone. Then tap the “Wi-Fi” option. In the “Wi-Fi” menu, next to your currently-connected wireless network, tap the “i” icon. On the network page, next to “IP Address,” you'll see your iPhone's current private IP address.
Yes, your iPhone has an IP address, much like any other internet-connected device. You can find it in your phone's settings. How do I find the IP address for my iPhone without Wi-Fi? To find the IP address of your iPhone without Wi-Fi, you'll need to configure a new IP address manually.
To deliver relevant search suggestions and news, Apple may use the IP address of your internet connection to approximate your location by matching it to a geographic region.
It depends on the app and if they collect such information. Your IP is public, so unless you use a Proxy server anyone can see it. It indeed entirely depends on the app developer.
Both times that we submitted an app testing was performed from the 17.218.239 subnet.
Apple is assigned the 17.0.0.0/8 range
Knowing the IP address is very helpful for us as we use a third party system to authenticate (via oauth). The third party system uses a risk-based authentication system which looks at the IP address to asses "risk". If it's a new IP address then an access code is required (which is delivered via email). Getting this access code to the iOS tester is cumbersome. Knowing the IP address of the tester allows us to bypass this step and makes testing easier.
