But an important thing must be done: you can run a script, create a
start-up script and not mess with any security frameworks (like chaning mac
on Harmattan)

IMHO:
Sandboxing is something that helps for security and QA, and if it's done
structurely, it might even help develop
Or maybe just leave it to the user, whether to use a sandbox or not? (set
the default behavior and make override rules)

Hi all,
there is also the question how to handle rogue apps?
Yes, there is a paragraph in the harbour rules that says something like "don't
do bad things" but what if an app does? Maybe after some time or triggered from
an external server?
Users should be at least informed, revoking such apps li

Artem.

But a sandbox must not be a bad thing per se. We could learn a lot from the app
bundle file
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.

additionally, there's also stuff on jolla hardware there, and some
thoughts on defined services on apps(system) for other apps (maybe dbus
stuff?)
