> Doing this is clearly against Apple’s rules. The questions are: Can Apple detect these techniques? And what is Apple going to do if they do identify apps in China using CAID in flagrant violation of the App Store rules, if those apps have the backing (implicit or explicit) of the Chinese government?
As much as I love Apple’s move for more robust privacy policies, I doubt that they have a chance to prevent this from happening. From a tech perspective, because it requires a lot of effort to detect these.
But also from a business perspective. It's one thing to ban a game, but banning WeChat?
