There is no way to prevent this on the OS level without making an OS as locked down as iOS.
Anything less, and the user will find a way to accidentally give admin permissions to random apps.
NB: I don't believe that it's the OS's job to protect the user from themselves. Shielding people from consequences of their own actions results in people making worse mistakes later on.
- codedokode 2y agoThe OS's job is to protect user from malicious apps or apps with vulnerabilities. It does its job very poorly, for example, I have to manually build sandboxes and create users for every app, and I don't understand why this cannot be built-in and automated.
