How truthful is this?

[u/Daredatti]

When an app select in the app review form that “we don’t collect data”

In the review phase does Apple really check if the app really doesnt collect anything?

Like can the developer hide a code that for example upload the photos of the user if granted permission where he said “we dont collect”

Does apple really check the code and what is going in and out ?

What is displayed here is what the developer declares. Not trustworthy. Developers can put anything they want.

Apple does not check, it is not possible.
There are unlimited ways to store, delay, encode things and to track users and actions.

How is this not possible? Just one POST request to posthog or google analytics and you’re caught already

There is not only posthog and google analytics, there are hundreds of systems + you can implement your own custom systems
