Maybe explaining to the user the implications of controlling TextEdit? How scope is expanding? Just thinking out loud here.

- saagarjha 6y agoI mean, it does alert you of the consequences when you grant it Apple Events access.
- scotth 6y agoSure. I was thinking more along the lines of a mobile OS, where you're given some insight as to what the app is actually asking for. Which I think overall is a good thing...although the granularity or function of the permissions you can request here might not be as easy to understand. (Not sure why I'm being downvoted above)
- saagarjha 6y agoIt does give you a similar alert as it would on iOS; the issue with Apple Events is that it generally gives you the same permissions as the process that you're controlling so it's fairly hard to describe it in general. This isn't an issue on iOS because such a permission doesn't really exist. (I can't explain the downvotes, either. Hacker News is fickle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
- scotth 6y agoWhy not list the entitlements, outright? They might not mean anything to most, but the one's that do understand can raise the alarm.
