XPrivacy is not about blocking, it's about faking. PrivacyGuard in LineageOS is about blocking.

  How is “faking” it better than just not allowing it all? iOS Developers have had to handle being denied permissions gracefully since 2008.

    some apps don't work if the permissions are blocked. With xprivacy you can tell them My phone number is 000 000 000 and my email is fuck@you.com and they work fine then

      And iOS doesn’t need that bandaid. App developers have been developing with the expectation that their apps could be denied permissions they request since day one.

        Except for stuff that iOS doesn't ask and even implement a permission for. Like UIDevice.identifierForVendor.
