The application, which allows users to add a pin on a map to show where ICE agents have recently been spotted, has climbed to the to the top of the App Store charts.
Aaron told CNN that ICEBlock doesn’t collect personal data, such as device IDs and IP addresses, which TechCrunch has confirmed in a test. The app is only available on iOS, because it would have to collect information on Android that could put people at risk.
(Spitballing here) perhaps a Google Play Services location request necessarily returns a unique identifier that can be requested and seized by law enforcement?
Huh? Why? You choose what data you collect…

CoMaps and plenty of other apps on F-Droid manage to use location services without relying on Google.
This makes perfect sense if they’re iOS only devs who have no idea what f-droid is.
