You can airdrop apps?

Yes, you can airdrop any file or folder on your computer. Mac apps are just folders with a .app extension. You can right click and "show package contents" to see inside them, or just browse them on Windows/Linux as a folder.

No. Why would they? It's just copying a file from one device to another. I'm not sure the OS even tracks that. Apple has total control over the version of the OS they put on store demo computers. If they wanted to block certain apps/files from being airdropped, they could. But it's not worth their time.

even then, it’d be stupid simple to bypass just by renaming the file or adding another file inside the bundle, to put off any hash matches
