A couple of points from an experienced of developing several small Symbuan-Meego apps and managing development of iOS apps. Just notes of somebody who likes development yet prefers thinking about the user rather than superior hacker-user. 1) if we are into asking permissions, let's ask them on first attempt (as iOS does), not in installation as Android does. At first use of e.g. putting a photo to map there us at least a small chance user could understand why GPS positioning is asked for. 1.1) and if user rejects, make app unable to request 2nd time. At max let app direct user to system Settings for unblocking 2) Sandboxes are limiting, but matter. It is way more difficult to freeze to death or misuse iPhone than Android. That probably goes against Mer/Sailfish philosophy though. Cheers, Artem.
plz see the thoughts of 'users' on app security (compiled from IRC #jolla)
to be found here: (on section of same name) http://elinux.org/Jolla additionally, there's also stuff on jolla hardware there, and some thoughts on defined services on apps(system) for other apps (maybe dbus stuff?) i don't know if this is really something for sailfishos? or nemo or mer or jolla... so i'm posting it here :-) _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list | ||
