I don't see the Federal Supreme Court weigh in on this, and without that I don't see how California can impose it's laws on people out of state. It's no different from any other law-- take open carry gun laws as an example. A state that prohibited open carry would not be able to assign liability to someone that open carried in a state where it was legal. It really doesn't matter what the California Supreme court says, they don't have authority outside of California. I suppose they could make laws about how such recording could be used if they entered in California, but not much else.

The problem I see is if you’re recording the call for legal reasons, you’re probably going to court in California where it wouldn’t be admissible even if they wouldn’t be able to charge you.

I'm thinking more about this specific situation of getting a formal record of what Apple tells developers. My suspicion is that if lots of people could compare notes there'd be some inconsistency. Certainly they don't bully folks like Netflix around because loads of people would suddenly become interested in Android if apps like that disappeared. Also California law would be irrelevant in a Federal class action suit.
