Hello,

I downloaded SchildiChat to access matrix as their UI is more conveniant than Element. Exodus and TC slim however found "Google Admob" within the app.

As you can see on the screenshot. I asked developers about it, and they told me there's no trackers on the app.

Who's right, who's wrong ?

Thanks

The version from their F-Droid repo, SchildiChat[f], has no Google libraries. The version from the playstore includes proprietary blobs to support Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google notifications system). Exodus may be misidentifying this as "Google Admob", which is not present in the app.
