Oh come on! Why is everybody complaining about Apple when all major platform do this controlling this now. What about payment methods on Android? If you don't use Google Payment you are out. It's the same kind of rule so don't put this things in a argument like "Apple iOS have restrictions and Android has not. So why not use Android"
Ever thought about how good the iOS platform is for developers AND users? Give some credit man.
What other platform would bounce you for having a separately purchasable pro version or preemptively require licensing proof for something that isn't a core aspect?
Android still has Prey published and working under those terms. Why the hell are you defending Apple here? Whatdo we iOS users gain from this situation?
You gain the trust of users to the platform. If I don't want to give out my data I should be able to do just that and this argument is really huge from user perspective. Apple says if you are using GPS coordinates please tell and show the user that you do so.
There are a lot of people who don't know anything about IT and Software like my sister. She just doesn't care about such stuff. So she doesn't know who is using GPS and who is not. Hell, she even doesn't know what GPS signals really are. And she only wants to know: a) are you using my data, ask me first so I can say I want it or I don't want it _and_ b) if you are using my data, show and visualize that you are using it cause otherwise it might be that I don't know it.
I'm certain that this rules can help gain quality and help people to get an understanding for the device and what is going on _without_ having IT background.

Did you try using Prey? Do you know when and how is the GPS used?
