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.
Also the user should be able to grant permissions individually, not just
all-or-nothing (like on Android) & the app needs to be able to work with
it. That's how it is on BB10 for example.
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.
Yeah, I would say properly tested applications & community feedback are
enough and no artificial limitations are needed. :)
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 :-)
