![]() It sounds like a lot, but it's the sort of data that most modern apps collect.Ī BlueStacks spokesperson told us that they take this info "to make the user experience better," and it helps optimize the app to run well on a variety of different computers. In other words, BlueStacks will see what browser and computer you're using, your general location, and some information about your computer setup. According to Tomaschek, it'll see "info regarding your OS, hardware, unique device identifiers, and network information." Once you start using it, it'll also "collect and analyze data related to your device, like your device's IP address, location preferences, system configuration data, app activity, transaction timestamps, Android app metadata, and more." ![]() Secondly, BlueStacks will see some of your computer's data. This might include your phone number, gender, address, and picture. As such, BlueStacks will get access to your name, email address, and any other public information on your Google account. When you download BlueStacks, you share data in two ways.įirstly, when you download BlueStacks, you'll have to log into your Google account. It doesn't even support Monterey or M1.Every app you download gets some amount of access to your device's data. BlueStacks simply doesn't support Ventura. In this case, the explanation is much simpler. An app can try to load it again and give you another 30 minutes, but if it was last touched in 2009, as most of them were, it isn't going to do that. If you wait too long, or if the app doesn't nag you, then it goes away. You only get 30 minutes to approve the extension. In most (all?) cases, this is due to a poorly written 3rd party driver. Not sure if this was due to Gatekeeper/macOS or how the developer released/packaged the app & driver. I know that sometimes the driver portion of the install must be approved separately. I know that at least two times I had to reboot multiple times and approve the driver multiple times before macOS accepted the configuration. I believe I may have once approved the driver by right-clicking or Control-clicking the actual installed app, but that was a while ago so I don't recall. I know a couple of times it was not straight forward even when the "Allow exception" button was available in the Gatekeeper Security settings (the button did not always show up). I don't install many apps utilizing drivers, so I forget how I've handled it in the past. The one user did mention the software was installing a driver. ![]() ![]() Just right-click or control-click on the thing you want to run and choose "Open" from the context menu. If you want to install something, something that you trust, or something that you shouldn't, you can always override Apple's productions. ![]()
