@dalias @briankrebs The problem is that there's an app privilege to access full contact list, instead of an API to have the user choose a specific contact to share with the app on as-needed basis.

 @jernej__s @briankrebs At best, the choice to host a shared contacts list as a system service was a consequence of *programmer ideology* that Phone and SMS should be separate apps, and thereby that they need some shared location for Contacts. At worst, it was an intentional choice to facilitate malicious behavior by apps (to incentivize developing apps for their platform). |
@jernej__s @briankrebs Well that would be better, but really there's not a need for a shared contacts list to begin with.
