Wow amazing write up, start a consultancy and start charging to audit the privacy of apps, imagine getting paid to do this on every App Store update of Tik Tok and the like for agencies or companies auditing their apps, etc.

You are really talented, now get paid for it or open source some automated tools for getting the trail to see behind the curtain for these apps that force you to enable permissions to use them.

Hey thanks! There are quite a few static based automated tools that can help as a first run such as https://sisik.eu/apk-tool

Perhaps there are opportunities for developing easy to use dynamic analysis tools for the general population.

We need more privacy conscious talented tech folks like yourself to do the work without shortcuts. I think you should start a company doing this work with like minded folks and sell the service!
