(In contrast to my earlier statement, I *am* blaming individual users for that.) What makes one think these lazy and/or stupid people should be be given easier access to software that has *less* restrictions on it and could wreak more havoc? Witness the major, high-profile apps in the tightly-controlled iOS App Store that are reading the clipboard every time they launch for no apparent-from-the-outside reason. People are too lazy or stupid (or both) to read the first line of the app description and find out that this is not a video conferencing app. The answer to this issue is not to just throw security out. The argument here is that because of sandboxing, Zoom can't be in the Mac App Store, and relaxing restrictions on apps in the Mac App Store would fix that. Their corporations or higher-ed institutions are mandating the software that is used, so I'm blaming the "professionals" in IT at each and every one of those places that don't consider Zoom itself a security risk that shouldn't be worth taking. I'm not blaming individual users, for the most part, for looking for Zoom because most of them don't have a choice in the matter. The reason people are looking for Zoom right now is because nobody learned a damn thing from their previous behavior.
Despite Johnson's protestations, no, "previous controversies that Zoom has engendered, and *perhaps* Zoom deserves criticism for mistakes they've made" (emphasis mine) is not beside the point. Yeah, imagine why a company that secretly installed a web server on your machine wouldn't want to deal with a sandboxed environment. After that, you as a developer have a choice whether you want to reset ratings at the time of each release. You would know that the overall rating was reset by Apple after every new version was released until 2017. Why, yes, and you would, too, if you had been paying attention. Did you know this was possible in the App Store?" "This is an indication that at some point, the app's rating were reset. The mistakenly purchased “Zoom” Mac app, which hasn’t been updated in 4 years, did nonetheless raise its price in the past week.ĬOVID-19 Mac Mac App Store macOS 10.15 Catalina Sandboxing Zoom The misidentified, mistakenly purchased Zoom app is now #1 top paid.
Specifically, Mac App Store policies that restrict API usage, especially the sandboxing requirement. Why isn’t the “real” Zoom on the Mac App Store? I don’t have any insider information, but as a Mac developer I can make an educated guess: Mac App Store policies. The fact that mistakenly purchased abandonware is among the top paid apps is an indictment of the Mac App Store. Remember when people bought the wrong Zoom stock because ZOOM is Zoom Technologies, whereas ZM is Zoom Video Communications? Well they’re at it again, this time on the Mac App Store instead of the stock market.
