why not? It’s done on computers all the time.

edit: there was a “kid” (yes, a 14yr old kid) that designed an app for the original iphone that when removed, would take everything on the phone with it.

Nobody in the community noticed it for a while (or until people started loosing data). They caught the kid and had a talking to with his father who assured a developer he was grounded from the computer for a very long time lol
