- olliej 5y agoThat’s what the sandbox is for. Without specific entitlements an app can’t access any data outside of its container. The OS cannot decide when it should or should not trust the entitlements, because the whole point is that an app has some modicum of trust.
- Apocryphon 5y agoApple could always enforce a more restrictive, hardened security model for non-official App Store distributed apps. Again, they control the platform- they could change it at will to accommodate new use cases.
- olliej 5y agoThe whole point of this is that it does not allow that.
- Apocryphon 5y agoAllowing sideloading and independent app stores doesn't say anything about adding restrictions on third party app permissions.
