Facebook is still in the store. Instagram is still in the store. Grindr (the app in the article) is still in the store.
Facebook Messenger actually has a nasty dark pattern where they will display a fake pixel-perfect copy of a permission prompt where the only way to get through is to tap Allow, and when you do they call the real prompt (since it's pixel-perfect you can't tell the difference besides the short animation when it appears) and hope you also click Allow on the real one. If this is allowed then it's a lost cause.
Apple is doing fuck all about privacy on the App Store.
