Really starting to wonder what they signed with apple to get RCS. Seems to be they sold the soul of android.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Wait so you're somehow trying to blame THIS on Apple too?

In what way does this have anything to do with RCS or Apple lmao

[–] epyon22@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Google apple agreed to increase android security for the deployment of RCS to both platforms. This directly looked like enforcing root detection and safety net(now play integrity) enforcement to use RCS. I'm speculating restricting side loading is also part of that agreement. It would make sense considering it's forbidden on apple.

Sorry, but do you have a source for this at all?

As far as I can tell, they have added some Play Integrity checks (with root detection being part of that), but the reason was cited as spam prevention, and I can't find anything claiming they had any sort of agreement with Apple to do so.

They kept pushing for Apple to implement it, but I don't know of any cases of them making any promises about what they'd do on their own platform in order to convince Apple or anything like that.

I cannot find my source unfortunately poked around a bit. Unfortunately this article was better than even the ones I was finding.
