CCATP #844 — Adam Engst on Full Disk Access on macOS

This week our guest is my friend and yours, Adam Engst of TidBITS. Adam recently wrote an article about the kerfuffle caused by Apple's message to developers about how it's going to tighten full disk access controls. I asked Adam to come on the show and explain first what happened and what he thinks the solution(s) could be. Here's a link to Adam's article: Why Full Disk Access Matters—and What Apple Should Fix

During our conversation, Adam mentioned his app, SetShot, which shows you what has changed in your System Settings vs. the defaults and can take snapshots to see what you've changed over time. He brings it up because while his app only needs read access, Apple makes him ask for full disk access, which is both read and write.
