US government bans tech exports to top drone maker DJI

Chinese smartphone firms Huawei and ZTE have been on the list for several years.

So they're in the same category as ZTE and Huawei, who can no longer for instance get Google Android OS updates without US govt approval..

DJI doesn't use the Android OS but they may need SDKs possibly from both Google and Apple for continued updates to the DJI Go app?

They actually use Android OS on Crystal Sky and the Smart Controller do they not? But the Systems are so old (Android) that I can't see them "needing" any updates. As far as apps they host them on their servers, so at present I don't see any big issues thus far.

How about keeping the apps compatible with the latest versions of iOS and Android?

Or making sure they work with the latest devices?
