Is this a social engineering test to see how many hacker news users will blindly download a testflight app? I assume it's been reviewed by the app store by this point, right?

To be fair, the whole point of iOS application sandboxing and the permissions system is to allow users to run unknown apps with a minimum of risk.

it's a testflight app i built for fun but apparently it might not be able to pass the apple review for production release (i just learned this 2 seconds ago)

Fair enough, I didn't meant to imply you were nefarious, but I'm interested to see how many people will blindly download your app without considering whether they should.

yep that's the beauty of developing for the ios ecosystem. apple made it a high trust environment for users to try out different things by making it very safe and sandboxed

... in return of the freedom of every iOS user. Not a world I want to live in, same as a government telling me what to not eat so I am "safe".
