All Flatpak have a private storage space in `.var/app/appid.foo.bar`.

Again, the best example that comes to my mind is Android > <=7.0 This is going to be an additional dialog that will be clicked through by most users. Non Flatpak apps don't show a dialog warning that they have access to everything on the system. Why should Flatpaks do when they generally have even less access? Android now warns on first launch. This is something we could do but would expose a lot of implementation details about applications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
