Edited for further clarification. It’s not about Google, it’s about what Android needs to receive notifications: www.iceblock.app/android

It’s really hard for me to understand how iOS is better in this sense. The only way to get this app is via the app store and the ONLY way to use the app store is be registering yourself with apple. Seems to me that you are tracked either way.
IMHO the devs probably wrote this is Swift and just don’t have experience working with android. Whole thing/story is just off IMO.
I’m really just sceptical about the whole thing being closed source really.
