A quick reading of the exposure bill would allow for a scenario like this:

Force a developer to modify the app to send a encrypted copy of the traffic to
a given address and to issue a new version triggering a “update available”
notification. 

Force the store to return the modified version of the app to specific accounts.
Both versions of the application are signed etc.

Note this does NOT disable encryption.  Both the developer and the store fall
under 6 of Designated communications provider and eligible activities.

Alternatively just update the app so that traffic to specific accounts/numbers is
mirrored.
