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".
