The crucial difference: android just lets you query this. While Android has an API for fetching a user's installed applications, Apple did not include one, and even removed the ability to access a device's UDID--steps clearly made with the intention of preventing the profiling of users and the leaking of personal information. Tell me again how google and apple are the same on privacy :rolleyes: [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9625916 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9625916
