The DJI Problem
Added 2024-07-20 23:26:55 +0000 UTCI guess this is just another case of Buyer Beware. I got mine sorted... but you might not want to go through the same hassle.

DJI is one of a number of companies that are being banned in the US by both the federal government and some state governments. Security, privacy, corporate espionage, and etc. are all reasons for these "cold war" reactions.

2024-07-21 09:37:01 +0000 UTCOut of interest, as I'm in the UK, I checked for the DJI Mimo app in the Samsung App Store, and it's there. Maybe it won't install ? I didn't try.

2024-07-21 05:31:56 +0000 UTCIt looks like there are legitimate security issues that are the basis for Google removing the MIMO and other DJI apps from the play store. Those issues are available to see on independent security research websites. I'm in agreement that if you can get the device working without installing anything on a personal or company owned device, that some loss of function is better than the major security issues.
