In this case, by tracking, it means the device's unique identity via fingerprinting. It does not mean location tracking or other similar information. So if multiple accounts are created on the same device (deleting the app in between) it would indicate that those accounts are fraudulent accounts. The issue with location tracking even when the Uber app is not running is a different issue.
In my opinion Apple should have suspended their app from the iTunes App Store until they fixed the app. Because isn't that what they do to other small players? I would say there is a bit of hypocrisy on Apple's part here.
- _delirium 9y agoIf you add in the part where they "geofenced" Apple's headquarters, so the app behaved differently in that location than elsewhere in order to hide what it was doing, I'm not sure anyone else would even be merely suspended. Explicitly trying to hide your app behavior from App Store reviewers is such an overt sign that your app is doing something bad that it'll get anyone else's developer account banned from the app store entirely.
