> intercepting sms one time codes
replyCrazy idea, maybe they shouldn't be using those then. Maybe they should use email? Or god forbid a TOTP app. Or perhaps webauthn via the platform provided authenticator.
They very clearly aren't behaving in good faith. That's why the harsh sentiment.
Because the initial announcement included none of that... it wasn't addressed at all until the harsh sentiment.
replyIt still hasn't been addressed. They walked back half of their wholly unreasonable position in an attempt to legitimize the other half.
replyThen shouldn't we celebrate the victory, drop it, and move on?
replyVictory is my device and its OS working the same way it always worked and the way it worked when I bought it.
replyJust don't install the OS updates then.
replyBut that "tiny minority" are the people developing apps, which all their other users use... if you drive away devs from wanting to develop on your platform that's not going to go well for you (of course, they may still be forced to develop for Android if they want a wide audience, but you're driving away hobbyists with new ideas)
replyBecause this is a glide path to what they really want, look at Apple and running unsigned apps on your Mac, how it started, simple right click, how is it going, near impossible.
replyHow it started: almost everything is signed, even pirated apps
replyHow it's going: almost everything is signed, even pirated apps.
????
Those scam apps largely are installed from the Play store. Let them fix that first.
replyReally, there are apps that will intercept and exfiltrate your bank one time code sms that are just sitting on the play store? First I'm hearing of this, what's the name of one?
replyYour post is an outright lie.
