I know you didn't - I didn't mean you specifically.I didnt run Xcode
English grammar really sucks in some regards.

The only thing Apple didn't do but should do, IMHO, is that they should have known that it can be slow to download Xcode in China and they should set up a server in China for Chinese developers to download Xcode much more quickly.
So if you think this is "bad security" then consider that Android don't even have most of these available. It's much easier to download a infected Android SDK and have your apps infected before uploading to Google Play.
I know it - I did say something different. I said I can recognize the taste of a good wine from shitty one, which is something totally different.And trust me, that is easy.Wine tasting is a documented very bogus field though, when even so-called experts are unable to correctly identify wines in blind tests.
The device would reasonably have to warn for every single app, and knee-jerk cry-wolf warnings is the worst kind of warning you could possibly have, as it trains users to ignore them. It promotes bad behavior instead of discouraging it; this is why windows UAC is such a shitty thing. Who stops to consider what that window really says? Most people - regardless of if they even understand what the UAC warning is or why it appears when it does - just click it away with little thought so they can get on with doing whatever it was they were doing before that piece of crap appeared on their screen...I haven't read up on it much, but does the iOS device give a warning that the application they are downloading is potentially capable of running malicious code?
@pcchen you are misunderstanding what I'm saying (reread what I wrote again perhaps), yes I realize the app developers are intentionally doing bad stuff(*) BUT my point is
you/me (all these 100s of millions of app users) did nothing wrong, they downloaded angrybirds2 etc from apples store (we werent running xcode and compiling the apps ourselves)
(*) like ppl that write viruses etc 'do bad stuff', you're arguing they should just stop doing this bad stuff and it will be OK, guess what? not gonna happen, thus OS makers etc have to be pro-active against this
@Grall, I sorta agree with what you're saying with too many warnings but install an app on android, before you install it it will give a message what privilegdes the app will use.
Will it use the camera, connect to the internet, GPS etc
I always read it, perhaps IOS could adopt this later (IOS developer team - hey we still havent copied most of android 4.4 yet give us time )
