DJI forces you to side load their app for their Air Units and Drones. And this is scary. It looks like the rule they violate for the play store is that their app can self modify.
Let that sink in ... Any tension or whatever political bull crap happens and you have a state controlled malware on your device that can do anything it wants with your drone.
Millions of people installed this without really understanding what could be the consequences...
Just one month ago they found intentionally embedded Kill Switches in chinese provided solar panels [0][1].
Not even complex apps require capabilities of such self-modification, the fact that a DJI drone app, requires such capabilities, is quite suspicious especially as they are heavily involved in PLA Drone Warfare R&D and Capacity building.
