We set up a MITM proxy and captured the decrypted HTTPS traffic from the official White House iOS app. On a single browsing session it contacts multiple Elfsight domains, sends your device fingerprint to OneSignal, and loads Google DoubleClick ad tracking. The privacy manifest says it collects nothing.
It’s all cdn, social media, and a sms marketing app. Every expensive app does basically this, so are we supposed to be scared or something? The article doesn’t really conclude.
The manifest claims “No Data Collected” so that’s a straight up lie and misrepresentation in the App Store. If this was some poor commoner’s app, they’d be removed from the store and probably banned
