The Mountain View firm was recentlypointing the fingerpourcarry out application updatesand thus avoiddisplay new user data usage informationon the App Store listings for its services.
But a few hours ago, a publication by Sarah Perez, journalist at TechCrunch, set the record straight. Already, it is described that the accusation according to which Google has not updated any of its iOS applications since the implementation of the new App Store rules on the use of user data is false.
Google Slides (available here on the App Store), PowerPoint type application has been updated in the meantime, on December 14, just like Socratic by Google (to download here), application to help with learning different school subjects, updated on December 15.
Subsequently, it was difficult for the American giant to offer other updates for its applications given that Apple froze the App Store like every end of the year, from December 23 to 27. TechCrunch specifies that Google also stopped many of its activities at the same time, like other large companies. This makes sense: employees are generally on vacation at this time.
Another point criticizing the accusations made against Google: other developers have also not updated their apps and therefore do not yet display user data usage information for their services available on the App Store. This is particularly the case for Amazon and Pinterest.
Finally, according to journalist Sara Perez, Google would simply take the time towork carefully adding this information requested by Applewith possibly teams of dozens of lawyers studying the subject. The idea is obviously to do the best given that the use of user data is the major source of revenue for the company.
To close the case, you should know that a Mountain View representative confirmed to TechCrunch that the information on the use of user datawould be added this week or next weekto the files of all applications signed by Google.
