It is not about security - it is about pain for developers. Malefactor will anyway find the way to stole contacts and etc. once you installed his app. So I think that Ubuntu Phone should stop trying to limit all of developer features. Just remeber old N9 - all was fine without special policies. 2015-10-02 21:31 GMT+03:00 Stefano Verzegnassi <stefano92....@gmail.com>: > > 2015-10-02 19:16 GMT+02:00 Roman Shchekin <mrqt...@gmail.com>: > >> Qt contacts is limited?
