it's difficult for an app to do something secret and get past apple,
however, in the event an app does, it's immediately removed from the
store.

there is also a global kill switch to remove an app from all devices if
it's *really* bad. fortunately, apple has not needed to utilize that.

however, google has on numerous occasions killed and removed apps from
android devices.
