The problem is that users can’t meaningfully make that decision. It’s especially bad when the app says “you need this for message notifications”, but then uses it for tracking.

I feel like an API that let you provide an XPC service to handle incoming messages, but restricted that service’s access to any device info, would be the best solution.

I have no idea how feasible it would be to make such an API.
