Unity8 freeze (caused by shell plugin) after performing OA workflow

[Pete Woods]

From Kyle:

Today, I took a another look the new support for online accounts for scopes (since my email of last week).

Problem is that after logging into the facebook account in OA settings and then authenticating the app there, creating the unity::scopes::OnlineAccountClient object *every time after that* causes the code to not return: the scope hangs.

In my query::run(), right at the top, I have this:

     qDebug() << "=== query run()";
     qDebug() << "=== query run() 1";
     unity::scopes::OnlineAccountClient oa_client("com.canonical.scopes.fbphotos_fbphotos", "fbphotos", "facebook");
     qDebug() << "=== query run() 2";

Until I authorize the app in OA > facebook account > settings, I get this:

=== query run() 1
=== query run() 2

At this point, I do see the "Log In" reply displayed in the scope, and things are looking good. So I go to OA and authorize the app.

But after this, we never return from the instantiation of the oa_client, and I see this *only*:

=== query run() 1

Seems to hang on
unity::scopes::OnlineAccountClient oa_client(...)

Any thoughts?

  * OnlineAccountsClient::Setup::finished signature changed causing a
    hang. Use safer C++11-style connect() (LP: #1373807)
