        I never said that this is the first dodgy app in the app store?

        I said that this is the first app I have heard about that pretends to be the official app that have gone through the vetting step on the App Store.

      There’s been plenty of malicious apps found in the past. Though, I’m sure the play store isn’t much better. Disappointing that Apple will bend devs over a Barrel sometimes but they don’t find shit like this.

        I never said that there wasn’t any malicious apps on the App Store, just that this was the first one that I have heard about that actively tries to fake being the official one and managed to get vetted.
