I had already replied over there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32791731 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32791731 But to sum up: Apple doesn't distinguish in its warning between apps that are configured to maybe send texts to a server for classification (which is indeed "the developer has access") and those that aren't. It just gives a maximalist warning -- which, to be fair, covers well the case where an app initially can't send data to a server... and later updates so that it does.
