People who use location (and beacon) oriented apps, are likely to select the &#8216;Allow Once&#8217; option and the app will only work correctly once. This will create extra support, customer confusion and general loss of customers. The anti-competitive part comes through Apple&#8217;s own in-built apps (currently) not having to live with these restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mitigate against the problem we recommend app authors update their apps and online instructions to explain to users to at least initially select &#8216;Allow While Using App&#8217; and possibly provide more detailed instructions how to set &#8216;Always&#8217; in Settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on from our post on Using Beacons with iOS 13 and Estimote&#8217;s post on Get ready for iOS 13: Bluetooth and location changes explained, TechCrunch has an article on how Developers accuse Apple of anti-competitive behavior with its privacy changes in iOS 13.
