Would it not be better to allow arbitrary login IDs? Then you don't even have to store email addresses?

- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoHow would we send emails, then? That's a requirement of the app, and why we need to store emails.
- quitit 2y agoIt's not fully arbitrary, but one can make an Apple ID from any email address or phone number (i.e. you can use a hotmail address if you like), both approaches dodge the issue mentioned since they're not obviously apple accounts. However the issue with using something like a gmail or hotmail account is that instead of targeting Apple's servers, they just target Google and Microsoft's instead.
