Better off without Android apps
One of the big reasons we thank all our native developers for all the effort they've put in developing beautiful and honest apps this year and pursue to continue doing that into the next year:

Keep us off the Android apps, guys and gals!
Nice question :) Happy new year from VN

Rikujolla ( 2018-12-31 16:49:08 +0200 )editThe Privacy International report describes how apps send data to FB which can be linked to a user using the 'Google Advertising ID', which is passed to the app by Android.
Does anybody know what Google Advertising ID Alien passes to an app? A blank or all-zero ID might cause an app to fail. Does it generate a unique ID which could be used to track a users?
