Follow up: iOS Address Book security
John Gruber:
Maybe the answer to the iOS address book situation is to require the user to grant explicit permission through a dialog box, but it’s not a slam-dunk decision. Every dialog box has a cost.
That’s one answer, sure. But I think you’re solving the wrong problem. I think theres an inherit flaw in how all of the APIs come together and the assumptions developers are allowed to make when it comes to privacy.
