** Package changed: trust-store (Ubuntu) => location-service (Ubuntu)
** Description changed:
If I go to Location access under Security & Privacy, I have an entry in
the list that is blank. I'm not sure what this is but I'm assuming it is
for 'unconfined' ('unconfined' should be precached to default to 'allow'
anyway).
We should not allow the user to adjust entries for 'unconfined'
processes in System Settings since this might break things in unexpected
ways. Marking as Critical and for rtm14 because this is user facing,
confusing to have a blank entry, can lead to unexpected behavior and
because it should be trivial to filter this out.
- Steps to reproduce:
+ Steps to reproduce (this resets the location trust-store db):
1. $ stop ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
2. mv ~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db
~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db.bak
3. $ start ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
4. launch webbrowser-app (it is unconfined)
5. navigate to maps.google.com. it will prompt to access location (browser
prompt). Say yes
At this point I am presented with a trust session prompt:
"unconfined
An unconfined application wants to access your current location.
Deny
Allow"
6. tap 'Allow'
This adds the following to the trust store:
3|unconfined|0|1411758762544069109|1
location service shouldn't be prompting for this for the reasons
outlined above. Adding location-service task.
This will likely affect camera and mic in 'Other app access'.
