Apple revoked Google’s certificate to use internal apps after the search giant misused it for a consumer data-collecting app.
Apple has purposely broken Google’s internal iOS apps for improper use and privacy concerns, reportedly affecting its pre-release beta and employee-only apps software.
Revoking Google’s enterprise certificate comes one day after Apple did the same to Facebook. Both companies misused their developer certification, which is supposed to be for internal-only apps for employees, to make consumer-accessible ones that collected user data. That’s a no-no, according to Apple’s rules.
But it wasn’t specifically the user data collection that sparked Apple’s ire.
