That's not the problem. The problem is that the whitelist of permissions is limited, fixed, i have no control over it and i can't easily work around it.
I can't create a great way to batch install/update/migrate my phone because everything requires manual approval.
I can't use my own browser or sms app on ios cause it's not allowed by the permissions system.
I can't install a new driver on my phone.
Remember the bs update apple did that broke the home button, forcing people to buy a new phone ? I can't prevent that either.
I'm actually for permissions and sandboxes for most apps. But i want a manual override when i need one.
- BoorishBears 9y agoOn Android you can batch install while granting all permission with the `-g` argument on Android versions with runtime permissions
- sametmax 9y agoNot on ios though. See, the problem is not the permissions, but the fact you are at their mercy. And because by definition innovations assume you have nit thought of it before, this will limit innovation.
- BoorishBears 9y agoTo m, that just shows that it's up to the implementation.
- sametmax 9y agoYou are assuming the implementator can think of everything. Innovating however, assume to come up with something you haven't thought before.
