More Than a Dozen Apps With 'Misleading or Flat-Out Inaccurate' Privacy Labels Found on App Store

I am not sure what you are saying? You must not work on large enough apps where there are teams that work in specific areas.

Careful with assumptions…

Then please tell me that hundreds of developers in your company know every single line of code in the software. It is impossible. Because 99+ developers are all making changes so you need to look at the entire codebase again.

So....Apple does not do the checks on the apps in the store that Apple leads it's cutomers to believe.

Apps that can affect Apple's bottom line (lose them money), the app is pulled off the store almost immediatly. Apps that breach a users privacy (does not affect Apples bottom line), 'we are working with App developers'. Privacy issues takes a back step when the app does not affect Apple financially.

I don't think this is accurate. I believe Apple does checks, but the checks can only go so far.

Citation, or hyperbole for hyperboles' sake. Can you point to any app that was pulled from the app store immediately? But be honest, because you can't know any behind the scenes communication, just some unfounded criticism above.

Someone needs to learn how to properly use a VCS to minimize the impact.

Okay. How long should a company that has 100+ developers take away from actual development time to look at EVERY SINGLE THING every OTHER developer is doing? And how long should they study an already hundreds of thousands or millions of lines of code solution?
