Imagine Facebook forcing users to install their own App Store to install Messenger. I think such outcomes are quite apocalyptic if you see what road that leads down.
- summerlight 6y agoThat doesn't happen in Android. Probably neither in iOS even if it's allowed.
- pier25 6y agoBut they would still be using iOS, right?
- manicdee 6y agoI trust the iphone with my medical information because Apple has controls in place in their App Store review process to prevent that data being leaked out of the phone. I do not trust Facebook to avoid leaking that data out of my phone.
- pier25 6y agoApple makes sure an app cannot get data outside its sandbox without your permission, but it has no control over what the app does with its own data. For example, I've backed up and synced data with a server on iOS apps without needing any special permission from Apple or infringing AppStore policies. What you're describing here is not really related to the App Store policies but your trust on the Apple apps themselves.
- manicdee 6y agoDid your app description make statements about handling health data?
- m00x 6y agoWhat road would that lead down to? Seems like users could enjoy a whole new app store where developers preferred dealing with facebook instead of Apple.
- gameswithgo 6y agoAre you saying my phone would be like a PC? That is what I have always dearly wanted.
- m-p-3 6y agoHow can they force such a thing though? On Android you can sideload apps and it's not apocalyptic.
