This one appears to be a doozie... https://www.iosappsettlement.com/Home.aspx
This lawsuit involves several coordinated cases brought against several companies that developed apps for Apple i Devices (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch), and alleges that certain versions of the Foodspotting, Foursquare, Gowalla, Instagram, Kik, Path, Twitter, and Yelp apps obtained contact data from users’ iDevices in violation of user’s privacy rights, and that Apple aided and abetted that conduct. The lawsuit also alleges that Apple misrepresented the privacy and safety of its iDevices. This Settlement resolves all privacy claims against the App Developers and Apple, but does not affect the misrepresentation claim against Apple.
