I was thinking how the hell does an app track another apps' activity? So they allegedly used AppsFlyer, which is a Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP).

Companies like Grindr use it for tracking ads, it basically tells whether a user that clicked on a Grindr ad on Tiktok lead to a successful install of their app. They have to install an SDK for that. Apparently it wasn't just tracking that.
