  • Apple facing class action lawsuit over alleged iTunes & Apple Music data sale

    appledevappledev
    Just FYI: Written a TON of Apple software.

    The Media Library requires that the user give explicit permission for the app to access the user library.

    I’ve written apps that do exactly that. The code is open source, and I could show you exactly how it’s done.

    If the user refuses the request, the app can’t access the library.

    The app also needs to register with the operating system as requesting this permission.

    Read all about it: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/medialibrary

    If the user grants this permission, then the app can do what it likes with the data. However, expect it to be checked for things like exporting it by the App Reviewers. That said, it wouldn’t be too difficult for unscrupulous developers to find ways to get the data out of the sandbox.

    Someone mentioned that it could be that Pandora either sold its DB, or had it purloined. That sounds likely.

    These people are not-so-bright.
