I'm curious as to how this behaviour is actually detected. I mean are they checking for outgoing network requests that contain something that looks like co-ordinates because presumably that would be trivial to obfuscate.
Or is this really just a case of rejecting apps that are asking for location even though the app has no real use for it?
Apps are required to have an entry in the Info plist for location (both “while in use” and “always”). This is enforced by the kernel. So they are most likely looking there.
