From Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin who filed the lawsuit:

> Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.

Pretty scary/shocking if this is true

Also from the lawsuit:

>App store security scans don't flag Temu's risks, the complaint alleged, because Temu can "change its own code once it has been downloaded to a user’s phone"—which means it's essentially able to transform into malware once it is past the security checkpoint.

I really want to know if the above is actually possible? I would assume this would break code signing
