Are App Store apps more secure than from DMG on the internet? (sh.itjust.works)

Any devs here? I'm wondering if an app is more secure / has more restrictions if installed through the App Store as opposed to a DMG you download on the internet. I'm mostly concerned with filesystem permissions: the app is RetroArch and it is available on both the iOS and macOS App Store. Is it safer and more private if it's from the App Store? I know Apple's filesystem security policy is around specific folders in Home (Desktop, Downloads, etc.) but do App Store apps get random access to "unprotected" folders in the user's Home folder? Thanks!

COD Mobile permissions question (sh.itjust.works)

Anyone playing COD: Mobile on Android? I was wondering whether you still need to grant storage permissions to play the game at all. I'm hoping that this is because of supporting older Android SDKs and not needed any more. Thanks for your help.
