Yeah until Facebook moves all their apps to their own App Store so they don’t have to deal with all of Apple’s pesky privacy rules.
- manigandham 6y agoWhat privacy rules would those be? Why would iOS privacy settings be affected by the install method? What would be different from the Facebook SDK that's already installed in millions of apps on the App Store today?
- spideymans 6y agoAbusing private APIs would be a major issues. Binaries uploaded to the App Store are inspected to ensure that they aren't abusing any private APIs. Facebook controlling their own store would allow them to circumvent this check. In the past, private APIs have been used to track users, amongst other malicious behaviour.
- manigandham 6y agoWhat kind of inspection? The App Store review is not that in-depth and has frequently let through many apps that were leaking private details. And again, how does this affect iOS system level privacy settings and protections? App permissions and warnings don't change.
- Apocryphon 6y agoThey'd suffer massive public blowback for that, atop all of their PR woes that's been mounting each year since the 2016 U.S. elections.
