I have just released my app for iOS, but I’m not sure how to make my app safe from being used by jailbrakers.
Can I do something to prevent my app working on jailbroken devices?

You can detect through code that if the app is running on a jail broken device or not. Through that way you can pop up an alert and close the app. You can do whatever you want to do. Here is a tutorial for it:
