<p>So you make an app free, get people to download it, then use it to violate your users&#8217; privacy by pulling their telephone number off their iPhone so you can call them and try to annoy them into coughing up money for your paid app.</p>

<p>Yeah, that should be a rejection, if not a banning.</p>

<p>(No, we&#8217;re not mentioning the name of the app, why give them publicity? Picture above is proof of concept code showing how the iPhone user telephone number is retrieved.)</p>
