Apple pulls WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and Threads from China app store after Beijing order

Apple said that it has removed WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and Threads from its App Store in China after being ordered to do so by the Chinese government, which cited national security concerns.

The removal of the four apps suggests growing intolerance on the part of China's central government towards at least some foreign online messaging services that fall outside of its control. It also signals less leeway for Apple in China.

Residents of China seeking unfiltered news, who can sometimes access it using foreign messaging apps through VPNs, now have a lot fewer choices.

Pakistan says it blocked social media platform X over ‘national security’

Users had reported problems using the platform, formerly known as Twitter, since mid-February, when jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party called for protests against a government official’s admission of vote manipulation.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Interior mentioned the shutdown in a written court submission.

It is very pertinent to mention here that the failure of Twitter/X to adhere to the lawful directives of the government of Pakistan and address concerns regarding the misuse of its platform necessitated the imposition of a ban.

The decision to impose a ban on Twitter/X in Pakistan was made in the interest of upholding national security, maintaining public order, and preserving the integrity of our nation

Forward from: Mishaal's Android News Feed

Google had a multi-year plan to migrate the AOSP build system completely over to Bazel, but this project was cancelled late last year.

In a statement to OEMs last year, Google said "in a recent review of our progress, we concluded that the conversion to Bazel would take a lot more time than originally anticipated. After carefully considering our options, we decided to stop working on transitioning Android’s build system to Bazel, and instead focus on improving the existing system."

At one point, I'm told, Google even aimed to migrate all Make and Soong build files to bazel by Android 16 W. But that obviously won't happen anymore.

Debian 13 (Trixie) will introduce a new APT interface!

The APT developer and a Canonical engineer has presented a new interface for Debian's APT package manager! The new interface has a much more clean design as compared to the old one, it has a columnar display to easily show the package names and now uses the green and red colours to make it easier for people to understand what will get installed/removed on their system. Additionally, the verbosity has been reduced, making it much more simple for users.

The changes will be brought with Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04.

Telegram fixes Windows app zero-day used to launch Python scripts

A vulnerability was found in the desktop version of Telegram for Windows. When an attacker sent a .pyzw file, it was identified as a video and automatically downloaded and executed, thereby executing the built-in malicious code. This issue only affected those who are using Telegram Desktop on Windows and have Python installed.

The .pyzw extension is for Python zipapps, which are self-contained Python programs contained within ZIP archives.

The reason for this was:
Telegram developers were aware that these types of executables should be considered risky and added it to the list of executable file extensions. Unfortunately, when they added the extension, they made a typo, entering the extension as 'pywz' rather than the correct spelling of 'pyzw'. The image related to this has been attached.

A server-side fix has now been applied to ensure that even this issue no longer reproduces, so all versions of Telegram Desktop (including all older ones) no longer have this issue."

Asus had to settle a court case filed due to lack of bootloader unlock!

Recently, Asus removed bootloader unlocking from their phones, not letting users unlock their phone. The lawsuit was filed by a bri'ish. They claimed that Asus had broken it's original promise of providing users with bootloader unlocking... before finally removing it, *sigh*. They also mentioned that Asus banned users who demanded for bootloader unlocking. Finally, Asus settled the case for £770.

If you're an Asus user suffering from this, consider doing the same. :P

Mercenary spyware attacks target iPhone users in 92 countries

Apple is warning iPhone users across 92 countries of sophisticated "mercenary spyware attacks" that could compromise their devices. The company urges targeted individuals to take the threat seriously. These attacks are often state-sponsored and target journalists, activists, and other high-profile individuals.

Apple recommends several steps to combat these attacks: enable Lockdown Mode, update all devices with the latest software, and seek expert help (like the Digital Security Helpline). Mercenary spyware is expensive and complex, so Apple is actively working to detect and prevent these threats.

If you believe you've been targeted, Apple will send notifications via email, iMessage, and the Apple ID portal. Take these warnings seriously and follow the recommended security steps to protect your device and information.

Google One VPN will be discontinued, Pixel VPN remains with upgrade coming

Google is now discontinuing the VPN feature as they found people simply weren’t using it. The company said that the depreciation will let the team “refocus” and “support more in-demand features with Google One.”

VPN by Google One is going away in the next few months, with no specific timeline provided today.

Meanwhile, there are no changes to the free Pixel VPN. In fact, the big VPN upgrade introduced with the Pixel 8 is coming to the Pixel 7 Series and Fold. Those older Pixel phones will stop using the Google One app and switch to a built-in service that means there’s no persistent notification.

Forward from: Mishaal's Android News Feed

The first Android 15 beta is HERE! Android 15 Beta 1 is rolling out today to users enrolled in the Android beta program. Supported devices include the Pixel 6 and newer, as well as the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.

Here’s what’s new in Android 15 Beta 1, according to Google:

* As I first reported, apps targeting Android 15 are now displayed edge-to-edge by default when running on Android 15! This means apps won’t have to call the edge-to-edge APIs to show content behind system bars in Android 15, though they should call those APIs to do so in earlier releases. To assist app developers in supporting edge-to-edge, many Material 3 composables handle insets for you.

* Another Android 15 feature I first reported on is app archiving, which went live in DP2 but Google is now choosing to highlight in Beta 1. Android 15 includes OS level support for app archiving and unarchiving, making it easier for third-party app stores to support it (Google Play already does since last year). App store developers should check out the new PackageInstaller APIs while launcher developers should check out the new LauncherApps APIs to learn how to handle archived apps.

* The TalkBack accessibility service in Android 15 now supports Braille displays that use human interface devices over USB and Bluetooth.

* There’s also now an OS-level API for E2EE of contact keys so users can securely manage and verify other people’s contact information, enhancements to the NFC observe mode to allow apps to register a fingerprint so they can be notified of polling loop activity, inter-character text justification support, a new ProfilingManager class to collect profiling info from within apps, and additional changes to prevent malicious background apps from bringing other apps to the foreground.

Android 15 Beta 1 is the first of 4 planned beta releases. Beta 2 will very likely be unveiled at Google I/O on May 14, while Beta 3 will happen sometime in June and Beta 4 sometime in July. Beta 3 is when Platform Stability will be reached.

Beep!

Beeper is being acquired by Automattic, the owners of WordPress for 125 Million Dollars. Automattic announced the deal recently. This may or may not prove to be one of the bigger bets for Automattic, considering they have previously invested on Element.

I'm interested in seeing where Beeper heads to next.

Mobile retail chains to discontinue sale of OnePlus devices from May 1 due to unresolved issues

OnePlus smartphones, tablets, and wearables will not be available in 4,500 stores across 23 retail chains.

In the letter, the retailers said that consistently low-profit margins on OnePlus products have made it challenging to sustain their businesses, particularly amid rising operational and financial costs.

Throughout the past year, we have encountered significant obstacles associated with selling OnePlus products, which remain unresolved. As esteemed partners, we had hoped for a more fruitful collaboration with OnePlus. Regrettably, the ongoing issues have left us with no alternative but to discontinue the sale of the products in our stores. ORA painfully wishes to inform our collective decision to halt the retail of OnePlus products in our establishments from 1st May, 2024
