So the iOS app collects data and lies about it. How does Apple not ban this app from the store? Those AppSore “Data Not Collected” badges are obviously worth nothing while Apple pretends they mean something. Apple's user privacy/security pretexts for their walled garden and outrageous taxes have lost all credibility.

What data is collected? Currently, the screenshots of the README don't show anything. Instead, the author just says there are some remote capabilities and the details will be posted in a future report.

If you know what the author is referring to, can you link the relevant files so we can take a look at them?

Apple does "privacy/security" thing as a marketing stunt in the western market. Meanwhile, it complies with all the government demands in China. As a corporation, they do what is required for profit, as one should expect.

CCP got apple over the barrel. All these companies talking principles is just smoke and mirrors

Being "over the barrel" implies that Apple isn't more than willing to work with the CCP; Apple is a willing partner here. Corporations are sociopathic AIs, they have no concept of morals and no qualms about making the world a worse place in the pursuit of profit.

Yes, it is not that apple is innocent, because they are dependent on the chinese market which CCP controls, apple is pliable in the hands of the CCP and that is why they are over the barrel
