I had an iOS game I purchased, that, after about 24 hours of use, presented popups that you couldn't dismiss, without opening Safari to the developer's site, and it sent something there. The only way to avoid that, was to force-quit the app. It also likely directly sent stuff to the mothership.

I suspect that was to get around reviewers, and it seems to have worked.

I reported and nuked the app. I have no idea if Apple ever did anything about it.

The baddies are pretty clever.
