Probably some of you have heard of the term over time kill-switch which represents a function that was implemented by Google si Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in iOS si AndroidOS. Based on this function, the two companies can delete or block any existing applications in our iDevices without us knowing this, Google using the system in the past to delete malware-infected applications from terminals Android which contained them.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), she hasn't used this system yet, but she might, because a judge in Brazil could force her to delete the Secret app from Brazilians' iDevices. Everything is based on a process in which multiple people were harassed by anonymous users of the Secret application, he already obliging Apple and Google to delete the application from App Store Brazil, the decision can be extended to the deletion of the application from terminals.
If in the case of Google we are talking about an effective deletion, in the case of Apple the situation is different, the company being able to simply block the opening of the application from iDevices. Our terminals regularly connect to an Apple server that contains blacklisted applications, and if one of those installed in our terminals is found in the Apple list, then it will no longer be opened in the terminals after connecting to it.
Of course, the system can be disabled by jailbreaking, but if it happens that some applications can no longer be opened and they are no longer present in the App Store, at least you will know what the problem is.
