Google is dodging Apple. The company deletes its application that collected too much data
Screenwise Meter from Google also broke Apple's rules. The company closes its iOS app voluntarily, hoping that it will escape thanks to Tim Cook's punishing hand.
There is nothing like giving a good example - Tim Cook probably thinks. After he blocked Facebook employees from using company applications and testing beta versions of WhatsApp and other Instagrams, Google suddenly remembered that he also breaks the rules set by Apple. The company quickly withdrew the controversial iOS app, explaining that it just made a mistake.
Screenwise Meter acted as a research Facebook application.
Google's Screenwise Meter was similar to the Facebook application that fell out of iOS yesterday with a bang. The application monitored everything that was happening on the smartphone, analyzed traffic on it and how to use the application. In return, it rewarded users financially as part of the Google Opinion Reward program. As a chronicler's duty, it should be noted that Google has drained data from users in a much more transparent way than Facebook. The company even has a video in which it shows how the entire program works. It's OK or not to persuade anyone to sell their privacy for the sake of making more money, it's just one aspect of the matter. The second is the wonder of such an app in Apple hardware. After all, collecting this amount of data is against the rules set by the company.
Google is trying to escape the wrath of Apple .
Google, like his Facebook colleague, avoided the wide App Store arc. It works because the average reviewers, who would block the application collecting such amounts of data from the place. After the scandal with VPN, Onavo from Cupertino decided that it would not promote any applications that collect disproportionately large amounts of data in relation to what they need to operate. If your mobile version of chess requires the user to give it access to the camera and location, something is wrong with it.
Facebook and Google accepted this information, but their way of adapting to the new rules of the game rather did not appeal to Apple. Firms used company certificates to enable users to install their applications. These are intended for use only within the company by its employees. In the program under which they are handed out, it is really very clearly marked that the company certificates are ... well ... corporate.
After TechCrunch's eye-catching eye on Tim's Facebook app, Apple got angry. The company withdrew all company certificates to Facebook, so that applications tested in beta or internal company applications stopped working on iPhones and iPads. After this show of firmness, Google decided not to wait until the hand of Apple's CEO reached him too and he politely closed his application on iOS. Claiming that he just made a mistake.
Apple will certainly buy this translation.
