I'm noticing a trend in 'foreign' home security products that they want to combination of QR code scanning, and home router connections for 'Easy Setups'.
The iOS apps that have to be used with these products require the user to enter their home WiFi password directly into the app. Such apps also commonly request location data.
If unencrypted router passwords, and the Location data of the router are being captured and sent back to the manufacturer, this would be very very bad.
Of the few things I've put on the App Store, Apple went through my code with a fine tooth comb looking for things that went against their protocols and had to do multiple revisions to bring them in line. Although frustrating at the time, I was pleased to know this kind of screening happened.
I've heard Apple won't allow apps to do key logging/capture. Fantastic.
Is the the handling of our home network credentials also heavily scrutinised before thing are allowed on the Apple Store?
