Summary: Currently keyboard extensions require "Full Access" in order to be conigured by their containing app or extended using in-app purchase. This forces developers to frighten users by requesting access to a level of capability that they don't need - there is no need for these extensions to have network access or to write to a part of the filesystem that is visible to the containing app. Steps to Reproduce: Keyboard extensions that use IAP currently require "Full Access". Expected Results: It would be nice to be able to offer extended features without scaring consumers and looking shady. Actual Results: Search Google for "keyboard extension full access" to see consumer reactions to this.
