Lex Friedman:
To the average user, the two new security technologies coming to OS X this year—sandboxing and Gatekeeper—should be virtually invisible. But they could be all too visible to more advanced users, particularly those who use AppleScript and Automator.
Lots of people had questions about how AppleScript would interact with Mountain Lion’s security features. Lex has some answers.
As a semi-power user of Applescript, I have to say this is as good news as I could have hoped.
But any app developer who really cares about functionality has to think twice about doing an App Store-only product.
