If they got full access without normal prompt, is it possible the app is getting your login/pw via its own input field?
-
Could be. They show the in-app webkit browser view w/o any URL bar, so it is hard to tell. They could be faking the google page.
-
Yeah, in-app browsers are super problematic. Any good app-store should ban them for apps that aren't explicitly "browsers".

users should be able to write and run software to do anything they can do themselves.
-
Yes but that's orthogonal to whether app stores should serve/sell misleading or malware-like software.
-
I don't advocate for locking users to a vendor-provided stores, just for stores to filter out malware.
