    This is a much needed feature. It's unfortunate they're delaying it, but I'm glad it's getting done. I'm also a little irked that they're requiring developers to keep their lists of requested data...

    This is a much needed feature. It's unfortunate they're delaying it, but I'm glad it's getting done. I'm also a little irked that they're requiring developers to keep their lists of requested data updated. That's just not going to happen. Developers are going to accidentally-on-purpose forget to update it and take more info than they show in their descriptions in the app store frequently, I suspect.

    Facebook in particular has been very concerned about the feature that was delayed, they made this blog post last week: Preparing Our Partners for iOS 14

    I know Apple are only delaying it, but it sure feels like they should have stood their ground.
