Is it really true you get more distribution from the MacOS App Store? I would never use that App Store to install something unless I had absolutely no other choice —- and that would mean I would take somebody else’s app which was a little less polished or functional. We’ve had an App Store in Windows since Windows 8 and it has been a big joke, like maybe you use it to download some crapplet to use the scanner attache…
"The choice is rarely "comply or quit." It is often "comply here, and do the fuller thing somewhere else." Unless the platform is iOS, in which case it's "comply here or gtfo".

Apple doesn’t provide another API for this, so apps have to use the one that’s available.
i think the issue is that you can still have these all under the accessibility api but why not break that down more accessibility.screenshot accessibility.paste and whatever else there is. that completely removes the issues for apps like this.
The issue is with Apple's UX. Apple insists on asking permission for every little capability an app wants. So I would have to say "yes, allow this app to take screenshots" and "yes, allow this app to read the clipboard".
I wouldn't be surprised if, in the near future, Apple forced people to click "yes, allow this app to read the clipboard from app X" and then separately "yes, allow this app to read the clipboard for app Y" and so on for every single other app on my machine.
Apple does not allow you to say, "yes, I trust this #$@-ing app, please allow it to do whatever it needs."

My mother-in-law recently became fed up with Windows and asked me to install Linux for her. I gave her Debian with a Mate desktop. She loves it. Zero problems. It's been a week and she's using it just fine. No lifestyle upheaval.
Your mother in law asked specifically for Linux?
I am still not certain I understand exactly what Apple's reviewer meant by 2.4.5 in my case. My working assumption is that the concern is about an app reaching into every other app on the system to inject text, but I never got a perfectly clear explanation. (Or maybe I'm too dense to understand it.) If anyone here has more direct experience with this guideline, especially from the App Store review side, I would like…
