They are subject to the same permission request/granting system as apps installed through a store. That system is OS-level and applies to all non-system apps.
- hparadiz 5y agoThis is actually exactly the same as how MacOS does it except for, ironically, terminal based tools (like homebrew).
- idle_zealot 5y ago> except for, ironically, terminal based tools Are you sure? I've had to go into Accessibility Settings and grant command line tools permissions there.
- hparadiz 5y agoThe issue is that once you grant access to terminal.... anything you run in it has access. So it's not very useful since almost everyone will have granted that access within a few minutes of being in the terminal.
