In addition to advertising options, Apple has added other security controls to increase user security and privacy.
In addition to the options for Advertising, Apple has added three new sections to the privacy options in the Security and Privacy Control Panel. the new options are:
System administration: system administration applications can now be managed from this section of the control panel
Application Data – specifically designed for applications that access multiple data in Calendar, Messages, Mail and other application data.
Automation: this is the most interesting part.
Mac OS 10.14 Mojave: More changes to privacy settings: System Administration, Application Data, and Automation!
The situation for Apple’s automation tools is not particularly good, as the company dismantled the automation tools division and although Applescript and Automator are still available on Mac OS 10.14 Mojave, they have clearly not been improved. During the Keynote Apple did not comment on this issue, but these options that have appeared in the control panel are at least revealing, but only open the door to speculation.
Obviously you might think that applications created with Automator could ask for permission to run, but this is not the case, not with a simple application at least, although you would have to go deeper into this aspect1, but the legend allows the following apps to automate other apps is powerful enough to think that Apple will open the automation menu to other third-party applications?
At the moment there are no clarifications or news from Apple or comments on the developer sessions2 but the simple possibility of Apple allowing third-party applications through an API to access other applications for automation would be a way to justify the little case it makes for its few tools and create a new market for interesting applications.
