Time Travel: 2014

Generally speaking, formal software should at least include the three most basic parts of function, content and user interaction interface.

However, in the early days of mobile software development, many developers packaged website links and dared to claim to have developed a piece of software.

Not only does this type of "software" have little practical value.

And it’s nothing new.

The whole thing is just a shell of software.

However, in the early days, this kind of shell software was very popular.

After all, the early days of the mobile software development industry were chaotic.

As long as the data such as download volume increases, even apps with no content value can fool laymen.

Especially because some codes on the Android side can be directly mixed with the HTML on the web page.

It also makes the mobile software market in chaos.

Apple's strict review/review system has put an end to this chaos to a certain extent.

It can even be said to have standardized the software development industry to a certain extent.

According to this kind of review/review system, there is no possibility of App being fake.

These measures, which can give users a better interactive experience and enforce good ethics for developers, are a plus in Lin Hui's opinion.

If all of Apple's review/review mechanisms are centered around interactive experience and standardizing the industry.

Then Lin Hui won't mind this review/review mechanism very much.

Not only would I not mind it, but I would strongly support it.

But the problem is that Apple’s restrictions on applications go far beyond the above.

Among Apple’s many constraints on software.

What Lin Hui can't stand the most, or what Lin Hui is most afraid of, is Pingchun's desire to control data.

Apple's review/approval mechanism contains a large number of restrictions on data.

Including but not limited to "The data security of application software should implement appropriate security measures..." "Developers need to ensure that the collected user information is properly handled in accordance with the Apple Developer Program License Agreement and other guidelines. Apple will conduct certain measures in this regard. Screening..." this type of clauses.

I won’t list them one by one.

Although these terms are largely "well-intentioned" and appear to be from the user's perspective.

Instead of blaming the developers.

It's not about interfering with the data.

But the crux of the matter is that the final interpretation of these terms does not belong to the developer.

Instead, it belongs to Pingchun.

How should security measures related to application software data security be explained?

If one day Apple takes this clause and claims that the software's data security involves certain hidden dangers, user data must be reviewed.

But Lin Hui refused and ordered the software to be removed from the shelves.

What should Lin Hui do then?

Defenses can not do without.

Lin Hui felt that his thoughts were not unfounded.

Pingchun's desire to control has not been strong for a day or two.

Even if Pingchun doesn't have such a strong desire to control.

But who can guarantee that the United States behind Apple will not use some provisions that easily lead to loopholes to cause trouble?

As stated previously.

Technology has no national boundaries, but technology companies do.

Technology companies themselves may just want to make money safely and without any flashy ideas.

But what if the countries behind the technology companies had other ideas?

If some institutions in the countries behind these companies that usually do not see the light try to use some apparent loopholes to cause trouble,

Then Lin Hui would lose more than he gained.

Data is not a negotiable issue.

Problems involving data often affect the whole body.

Data security comes first.

Or even better, information security above all else.

This was a bloody lesson learned in the previous life.

Lin Hui couldn't give in to this problem at all.

If there is a turmoil between software and Apple in the future, it will most likely lead to the interruption of cooperation between Lin Hui and Apple.

Although from a purely commercial perspective, Apple may not take advantage of these terms.

But once it is used maliciously, it will be something Lin Hui cannot bear.

Now in 2014, we have to consider the information security issues of these software running on Apple devices.

After all, according to the normal timeline.

Our country only approved a new cybersecurity law in 2016.

This law requires Apple to store customer data on local servers.

It was not until 2018 that Apple Cloud moved all data to Guizhou on the cloud.

In 2014, Lin Hui felt that current data security still faced great hidden dangers.

Even now, Lin Hui’s applications are all offline.

But in the future, it will mainly involve some software that requires a lot of data.

So this question has to be thought about.

It is also difficult to expect to negotiate with Apple to get Apple to cancel provisions related to data that can be easily exploited.

No matter in the past life or in this life, Pingchen always has their own self-righteous logic.

According to Pingchun:

“Apps are changing the world and enriching people’s lives.

It also provides developers with unprecedented opportunities for innovation.

The Apple mobile phone system has grown into an exciting and vibrant ecosystem.

Serving millions of developers and over a billion users.

Whether you are a new developer or a large team of experienced programmers.

You are welcome to develop apps for the App Store.

We hope you will follow our guidelines to ensure your app passes the review/review process quickly..."

This expression gives people the feeling:

——We at Pingchun are very good. We not only treat users as grandchildren, but also treat developers as sons.

The extremely large number of review/review items is, at best, a pursuit of perfection.

At worst, he has an extremely perverted and almost pathological desire for control.

Lin Hui has to be careful about the possibility that there may be different interpretations of the data.

If you want to add guilt, why bother?

It's easy to say now when some very important data is not involved.

But when it comes to important data, if Pingchun or someone behind Pingchun has some alternative plot.

This is a threat that cannot be ignored.

All the above conjectures may be just Lin Hui's imagination before the actual malice comes.

But Lin Hui didn't think this consideration was unnecessary.

I have experienced an invisible war in my previous life that seemed to belong to the commercial category.

Lin Hui always speculates on the worst-case scenarios for these crooked countries and overseas technology giants.

These forces are never willing to be lonely for the sake of profit.

If you place too many expectations on these people, you will suffer a big loss.

Perhaps the invisible battle in this world will not come as promised.

But it’s always better to be prepared.

If it was just a personal conflict between Pingcheng and Lin Hui.

There are two possibilities for the trouble Lin Hui will face by then:

One is to remove software applications that are already running online.

Otherwise, some applications that were ready to go online were forced to be reviewed/approved and could not be put on the shelves.
