Why would it, though? If you're the sort who puts your phone into a faraday cage, you're not the sort who will install an app from the stores.

I thought we were talking about retail stores here, not governments.

If your threat model is governmental, then that's a whole different thing entirely. You'll have to go to true extremes to even have a chance at defending against that. For instance, you shouldn't have a cell phone at all.
