Apple cracking down on apps that share location data with 3rd party

Apple is reported to be cracking down on applications that share location data with 3rd-parties. In such cases, Apple has been removing the application in question & informing developers that their app violates two parts of the App Store Review Guidelines, according to a report in 9to5 Mac.

The company informs developers via email that “upon re-evaluation,” their application is in violation of sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 of the App Store Review Guidelines, which pertain to transmitting user location data and user awareness of data collection.

Apple explains that developers must remove any code, frameworks, or SDKs that relate to the violation before their app can be resubmitted to the App Store.
