Ask HN: Dexcom Follow invitation expired or used b/c app store location Attempting to share glucose sensor data across country borders, via the Dexcom Follow app, yields an opaque error message to the recipient: "This invitation expired or was already used. Ask your Sharer to invite you again." From https://www.reddit.com/r/dexcom/comments/1dhxnv9/comment/l90jytv/
The Dexcom sensor data collector app requires device geo-location permission when the app is installed, which is used to set country language and apparently the sensor data storage location.The Dexcom Follow app appears to be using the device's app store country code as access control for sensor health data, which makes it impossible to share sensor data between US and non-US customers. Is this data separation a regulatory requirement of some countries? |
