I am curious if they will go back and look at apps that are accessing these API's or will only look at them when there is an update? I am wondering if we will be seeing another situation where certain apps delay updates like with the previous app tracking permissions. Also curious if they would ever go so far as to add a notice of something like "this app could possibly be fingerprinting you" in the App Store or if they are confident enough in asking about these permissions that they will feel they won't need to alert users.

I am curious if they will go back and look at apps that are accessing these API's or will only look at them when there is an update? With the earlier privacy crackdown that upset Facebook and Google so much, it only applied to new and updated apps. According to people on HN, that's why it took Google months and months to issue an update to its apps, and during that time it continued Hoovering up people's information. There are lots of apps on the app store that haven't been updated since the last round of privacy rules came out, which tells you a lot about those developers.
