After the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, he was Apple one of the first companies to respond to the whole situation with a series of steps intended to make it clear to Russia that it does not agree with its behavior. For example, we are talking about stopping sales Apple products on its territory, suspension Apple Pay or deleting a number of applications from App StoreHis actions were later sanctioned by US sanctions against Russia, which include, among other things, restrictions on banks, including in the form of their clients' access to accounts via Apple devices, or rather through the applications in them. However, a developer with the nickname Wukko has now come up with an interesting analysis on the social network X of how Russia is handling banking applications in App Store operate, even though it shouldn't be that way.

According to the developer, Russian banks are led by Sber, which has been operating foroneancient in the Czech Republic, capable of hiding its applications, in very simple terms, in another, which Apple checks and subsequently admits as problem-free. These dual apps work on the principle that in Russia they are displayed in a different design and with different functions than in the US and the rest of the world. The user's location is recognized by the application through the IP address, and as soon as it does so, it downloads a configuration file to the device, according to which the application is subsequently "set" to the final version. Apple although he has already started to take appropriate steps against similar modifications, for example in the form of their deletion, blocking and so on, it is surprising that he allowed himself to be tricked in this way. At the same time, he had a fairly significant indication that something nefarious was happening in the field of applications in Russia - he could notice, for example, a sudden increase in the size of applications that were still typically the same.

The developer writes in a thread on the social network X that his goal is to show how Russia circumvents bans Applu, but also how Apple actually (not) checking applications in App Store. In other words, he is thorough in checking them when the application is supposed to bring him some greater benefit. Whether you agree with his words or not is up to you, but it is clear miniat least that here Apple he was really wrong. Indeed, his control process should certainly deal with a similar matter.
Yes Apple mainly, he has no reason to spend any large sums to fight windmills. He gave a relatively strong and unambiguous signal to the regime, and on purpose Apple there is no stopping Ivan from Vladivostok from getting into his bank account.
