Apple’s grudging accommodation of European antitrust rules by allowing third-party app stores on iPhones has left users of its Safari browser exposed to potential web activity tracking.
Developers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk looked into the way Apple implemented the installation process for third-party software marketplaces on iOS with Safari, and concluded Cupertino’s approach is particularly shoddy.
I’d say it’s probably an oversight. I don’t want to downplay this, it definitively needs to be addressed in some way. But it’s not like there are many marketplaces out there yet (so far the only one I know of is AltStore PAL, and I doubt the creator is out there to track a bunch of people’s web activities).
