It was really annoying on the first run. Tons of apps were asking for my permission to access my contacts. (And by tons I mean 6 or 7).

  But isn't it entirely the point to be annoying? If there were only the preference pane showing which apps had accessed the data, it would already be too late. This is just like with location information on iOS — you have to ask the user before the app gets their data.

    Sure. But on a first run after the upgrade it is too late too. These are all apps that we're running earlier in the day. It's beta software and probably won't be released like that.

  Which apps were they? Did it make sense that they needed permission to access your contacts?
  • jaxn 15y ago
    They did make sense. Cobook, sparrow, etc. There was one that surprised me at first. I think it was Xcode.

      It probably does it to grab your name for new file templates
