Good gracious! That’s INSANE. I don’t do a lot of UI scripting, but I do have a few apps that will attempt to dismiss error dialogs from Finder, FontRegistry, and Adobe apps, etc, by trying to press return or escape. So this is telling me that I have to code
sign my app (OK guess I can start to do that), or each service gets to have an entry in the security window. People or users that are running my app are not the admin on their computer. I make and send out a bunch of little apps here and there to help people
with minor things. I can’t be having my IT dept log into their computer each time I make someone a little utility. Ugh.

Welcome to what sandboxing actually requires. Also, the old way was actually quite dumb from a security POV. EVERYTHING had full GUI scripting access, or NOTHING did. All you had to do was enable it once, and then how did you track who was actually using it? You didn't, nor could you.
So now there's granularity, which is pretty awesome, since it let me shut a bunch of annoyances OUT of that. -- Socks should match your pants, and your belt should match your shoes. After that, if anyone complains, tell ‘em they should be happy you’re wearing any clothes at all. |
