Special app for participants of Cop27 climate conference

Egypt told the participants in the Cop27 climate conference to use a special app, which shows signs that it is snooping on them.

Given the repression of the Egyptian government, that is something to be fesred.

I wonder if it is possible to participate in Cop27 without extra restrictions if you don't run that app.

Apps are generally nonfree software — on iMonsters, all apps are nonfree software — and any nonfree program is likely to be malware. The operating systems of those devices are also malware, which is one of the reasons I don't have one.
