APIs are critical to a platform& #39;s value, so think of interoperabilty like this as a transfer of that value from the platforms& #39; owners to app developers and users.
And here& #39;s the documentation of the contact tracing API framework, along with the specs for the cryptographic and Bluetooth protocols involved. https://covid19-static.cdn-apple.com/applications/covid19/current/static/contact-tracing/">https://covid19-static.cdn-apple.com/applicati...
Takes like this, while udnerstandable and expected, don& #39;t seem warranted (or at least not yet). https://twitter.com/aral/status/1248670699251785729">https://twitter.com/aral/stat...

Or it& #39;s actually not, and it could be improved upon. https://twitter.com/cnoanalysis/status/1248670689650831362">https://twitter.com/cnoanalys...
Matt& #39;s observations track with Moxie& #39;s. https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/1248727100921729029">https://twitter.com/pwnallthe...
I think these observations are correct, too. https://twitter.com/ncweaver/status/1248744472763969536">https://twitter.com/ncweaver/...
Another good breakdown of the contact tracing framework announced by Apple and Google. https://twitter.com/ohunt/status/1248718343005036544">https://twitter.com/ohunt/sta...
