Apple and Google's efforts to build an app to help fight the coronavirus epidemic have met their first two hurdles. France and the UK have said they will not use itAlthough its plans are designed to fail without the help of technical officials.
There are already two countries that have made it clear that they will not use Apple and the Google API to develop their own systems that help track the contacts of patients infected with Coronavirus. This means that they will use their own apps, and, therefore, will not have access to all the changes made by Apple and Google jointly and will allow these apps to run smoothly. One of the requirements of these applications is to be successful They can use Bluetooth in the background, something that if they don't use the Apple API they might be allowed. In other words, the programs they are developing in the United Kingdom or France to work will need to be activated and the screen turned on, something that is easy to understand that will make their work more scarce.
Why did France and the United Kingdom refuse to use Apple and Google's API? One of the requirements of these companies is that the data is completely anonymous and that no data is stored in the center of the database. This is exactly where these countries disagree, and they want to have their access details where they see fit.
On the other hand, borderline connoisseurs for not using the Apple API, have asked the company to allow them access to Bluetooth functionality even if their applications are in the background, something Apple has argued, saying that If you want that function, use the tools offered by Apple. The pity that even against a common enemy various countries forgets their ambitionsPersonal.
