They wouldn’t have let me into the building. Yes, I assume they wouldn’t have retracted my acceptance and we would have made some arrangement, but I have better things to deal with in my life. I’m on a (Jailbroken) iPhone, so the app should at least be sandboxed—I’m not entirely sure what I would have done on Android.

I understand not wanting to deal with it, but that's quite literally how we got to this situation in the first place - everyone has a smartphone because everyone has a smartphone.

What if your phone was too old to run the app (which looks like a steaming pile, based on reviews)?

Unless there was something in the application documentation about "owning a modern smartphone and being willing to install random applications as required by the university," I would have plopped right down, pulled out a laptop, and started making phone calls to figure it out.

But, again, I'm at a point in my life where I can be a thorny pain in the ass about stuff like this without any real consequences.
