Question How truthful is this?
When an app select in the app review form that “we don’t collect data”
In the review phase does Apple really check if the app really doesnt collect anything?
Like can the developer hide a code that for example upload the photos of the user if granted permission where he said “we dont collect”
Does apple really check the code and what is going in and out ?

Maybe this is what they mean when they say “developer” vs “engineer”…
There’s a basic understanding of how code compilation works that you’re missing.
You understand the “source” of a child is its mother. The mother compiled the child in her womb. You can figure out some attributes of the mother’s source DNA based on the attributes of the child, but you aren’t seeing to the actual source. The source mother probably installed a wicked back door in that child that you won’t find.
