Thanks Lorn, and just so I'm clear-- I don't think that QtNetwork/etc should be modified if it doesn't make sense for it in the general case.
All I'm getting at is untrusted apps shouldn't be able to control interfaces and start a connection as you mentioned, let alone get privileged info out of network manager. These untrusted apps simply need to know if they are online or not and maybe some other details that connectivity-api can provide. How they get that information I don't particularly care so long as they don't get this privileged access. It seems clear that QtBearer is written with the traditional session/policykit trust model, which is fine, but it doesn't align with the app store trust model where apps are untrusted by the system and session, so perhaps your idea makes sense. I'll let others work out the details of what needs to change and how. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1404188 Title: QNetworkSession::isOpen() always returns false Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using QNetworkSession::isOpen() in confined apps on a phone running vivid always returns false. This might be an apparmor thing, however, I couldn't find any REJECTED entries in log files. The test app in lp:~mzanetti/+junk/nmsessiontest can reproduce the issue. Open this project in ubuntu-sdk's qtcreator and run it on a vivid device. Press the button and watch the debug prints. On a vivid-desktop or a RTM based phone it will print "all is well". On a vivid phone however, it'll print "network session not open..." This used to work fine at least back in utopic images.
