Have you "gone through the vetting process"? I have, but it was years
ago, and the vetting process was just send us $100 a year and click
through these TOS forms.

I don't know if it's changed, but even submitting an app to the app
store, they didn't actually look at the app (I know because if they did,
the questions they asked me would have been unnessasary, and really had
to do with maturity ratings than anything else.) Things may be different
now, especially with AI, and the possibility of scanning for possible
malware) but I really have no faith in apple (or google)'s walled gardens
for any kind of security. It's more about control and profit than any
kind of user protection.
