Apple introduced a major API change to include initial support for its information platform and to allow public health authorities to launch improving COVID-19 compliance and tracking applications
Along with this version has been released the first beta version of Xcode 11.5. The introduction of Xcode includes a an updated version of the iOS SDK that includes a new API created in conjunction with Google of the COVID-19 exposure notice.
It looks like at this point, Google has released a new beta version of its Google Play apps with Claim ID API COVID-19 and the developer SDK attached. So it looks like this job will be available soon.
How does this new feature of information work?
This feature is only reserved for developers of medical and government applications, so not all developers can access this function. Apple and Google exposure Notification API works like this: When two people are nearby, the two are available via Bluetooth, their phones will replace the anonymous identifiers. If a person is diagnosed with COVID-19, they can install it on their smartphone and it will update anonymous information on the cloud with all their registered devices so that they are closer to a smartphone-shared identifier that will have less notice. of COVID-19.
It is expected in a few weeks these types of iOS and Android are available to all users and not just in beta form. In this way, Apple and Google try to minimize deviations, of course, always protecting our privacy as promised by the two companies.
